Patient's question:
Some people say it's not advisable to eat chives during breastfeeding, while others say it won't cause milk to decrease, so they're too hesitant to try.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in your situation, chives and leeks can be consumed during breastfeeding. There is no clear scientific evidence to suggest that leeks can suppress milk production, so you can eat them in small amounts without needing to worry too much. Chives are rich in protein, sugar, minerals such as calcium, iron, and phosphorus, as well as provitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin C, and niacin, along with glycosides and bitter substances. They have the effects of dispelling cold and promoting blood circulation, enhancing physical strength, and improving appetite. However, eating them occasionally is perfectly fine.
