Patient's question:
I am currently breastfeeding. Today, I want to eat hot pot. There is sesame paste on the table. Can sesame paste cause milk suppression during breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Not milk-suppressing foods include: celery, malt, dandelion, pepper, star anise, MSG, green beans, tea leaves, hawthorn, chives, daylily buds, fermented soybeans, fennel, ginseng, hen, animal liver (pork liver), pigeons, winter mushrooms, and vinegar. Radishes, sweet potatoes, corn, and similar foods can be eaten, but it's best to consume them in moderation and not every day, which should help prevent milk suppression. Additionally, foods that are cooling, acidic, or too salty can cause milk suppression—try to eat them less often!
