Does eating pak choi during breastfeeding cause milk suppression?

Patient's question:

I am currently 80 days postpartum and breastfeeding. Recently, I've been craving chive dumplings. I'd like to ask if eating chives while breastfeeding can cause milk suppression.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Based on your description, it has already been a full moon. Generally, diet has little impact on milk production. You can eat chrysanthemum greens, but avoid other wild vegetables with cooling and detoxifying effects, such as dandelion and purslane, as they may have a negative impact on your milk. During breastfeeding, you can eat chrysanthemum greens. It's best to drink plenty of water and eat more porridge during lactation to ensure sufficient milk production. A varied diet is rich in nutrients, which is beneficial for the baby. Try to avoid foods that are too stimulating or cold.
