Does eggplant have the effect of reducing milk production? What foods should be avoided to prevent milk reduction?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does eggplant have a lactation-suppressing effect? What foods should be avoided to prevent lactation?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, first of all, don't be too nervous. The amount of breast milk is completely different based on individual constitution. It is best to avoid foods that suppress milk production: also known as "galactagogues." For convenience, they are listed below:
Leeks, eggplants, longan dried, Codonopsis pilosula, squab, fermented soybeans, mushrooms, pork liver, chicken liver, hen, animal internal organs, malt water, barley tea, whole wheat flakes, malt sugar, malted milk powder
