Patient's question:
Carrots are not a food that reduces milk production. It is okay to eat carrots during breastfeeding, but it should be done cautiously. Some women who have undergone a cesarean section may be advised by their doctor to eat more carrots and drink some carrot water. They should only eat after their bowels have moved. Do carrots increase or decrease milk production?Doctor's answer:
Taking white radish will not cause a nursing mother to experience milk suppression. White radish is rich in vitamin C, zinc, and other minerals. Consuming it in moderation can promote the digestion and absorption of food in the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, since white radish is considered cooling in nature, nursing mothers should not consume it excessively to avoid passing it through breast milk, which may lead to diarrhea in the infant.
