Patient's question:
I am a 23-year-old woman, and I have been breastfeeding my child since birth. Therefore, I would like to know if eating lettuce can cause milk suppression during lactation.Doctor's answer:
This should never be the case. Foods to avoid include: Sichuan pepper, star anise, MSG, green beans, tea leaves, hawthorn, chives, daylily shoots, fermented soybeans, fennel, oranges, ginseng, and hen's eggs. Foods that do not contain this component should be consumed, and it is important to eat more fruits and vegetables during lactation. Dietary habits should focus on small, frequent meals, a light diet, and avoiding excessive use of seasonings. It is best to prevent the consumption of overly greasy or highly stimulating foods.
