Does eating cold things affect breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

I am a breastfeeding woman. I heard from the elders that if adults eat cold things, the child will have diarrhea. Is this true?

Doctor's answer:

Mothers who breastfeed can generally eat cold foods and fruits. To this lady, I suggest you start by eating small amounts of cold food. If the baby does not have symptoms of diarrhea after eating, you can continue to eat cold foods in the future. If the baby does have symptoms of diarrhea, then you should pay attention to avoiding cold foods as much as possible in the future. Whether you can eat them depends on your sensitivity level. Some people can, but some babies are sensitive and cannot eat them. Wishing you good health.
