What food will reduce milk supply?
thanks so much.... :)
Hi cindy124,
Basically, there are NO foods that a mother should avoid simply because she is breastfeeding.
A Chinese herb called ”淡豆豉” is known for decreasing milk production, if a mother's struggling with low milk supply may want to avoid this herb entirely while trying to increase her supply.
Hi Cindy! Some people said malt could reduce the supply of breast milk, however, it varies, I eat a lot of malt products and I never had any problem. I don't think food made from wheat would reduce the milk supply at all. Many people from different parts of the world are eating bread, bun, pasta and noodle as their major source of carbohydrate and many of them are breastfeeding successfully. The most important is to feed your baby on demand, as frequent and as long as he/she needs, it would ensure you to have a good milk supply.
Best wishes to you and your baby,
Stella
