What vegetables can't be eaten to stop breastfeeding?

All mothers who breastfeed will definitely go through the process of weaning, because after the optimal breastfeeding period, not only will the amount of milk be small but the nutrients will also be lost. During the weaning process, mothers should pay attention to diet and rest. Some mothers may experience breast engorgement when their baby is not sucking milk. Food has a great impact on weaning. There are some foods that are conducive to weaning and some that are not. So what vegetables should not be eaten to help weaning?

The scientific effectiveness of many foods in reducing milk production has not been proven, such as leeks and peppercorns. However, clinically, many breastfeeding mothers have experienced reduced milk production and milk withdrawal after eating these foods. In fact, each of us has a different physique. During breastfeeding, you can try your favorite foods. If you find signs of a decrease in milk supply, you should immediately avoid suspicious foods.

Vegetables: leeks, chives, bamboo shoots, asparagus, peppers, bitter gourd

Fruits: watermelon, persimmon

Seasonings: cinnamon, garlic, peppercorns

Seafood: snails, snails, crabs (may cause allergies in babies)

Tea and drinks: roasted malt, chrysanthemum tea, strong liquor, espresso, strong tea, iced cold drinks

Others: mint, ginseng, plum, etc.

Foods that can easily affect breastfeeding quality

1. Spicy foods and caffeine: Avoid onions, garlic and other spicy foods. After these foods are absorbed by the mother's digestive system, they will change the taste and acidity of the milk, which can cause diarrhea or bloating in the baby.

2. Foods with too high calories: Try not to replace a reasonable diet with greasy or sweet foods, such as fried potato chips, candy and cakes. Because these foods are usually high in calories but lack nutrition, they can only provide short-term energy and have a great impact on the quality of milk. Moreover, fried foods are difficult to digest. Mothers who have just given birth have weak digestive abilities, and eating them is not conducive to their recovery.

3. Spicy food: Try to eat less condiments. Eating these spicy foods during breastfeeding will enter the baby's body through breast milk and affect the baby's health.

4. Chocolate: The cocoa alkali contained in chocolate will seep into breast milk and accumulate in the baby's body. Theobromine may damage the nervous system and heart, relax muscles, increase urination, and cause indigestion and unstable sleep in babies.

5. Pickled fish and meat: The average daily salt intake for adults is 4.5-9 grams. According to your usual habits, do not avoid salt, but also do not eat too salty food. If mothers eat too much salt, it will increase the burden on their kidneys and be bad for them.

6. MSG: The academic community has never stopped debating about MSG. For safety reasons, it is best for mothers not to eat MSG during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

7. Some medicines and alcohol: Some medicines and alcohol can enter the baby's body through breast milk after entering the blood. Therefore, you should pay attention to the contraindications of the medicine and avoid drinking alcohol (reply "010" to view the guide to medication during breastfeeding).

8. Fruits that cannot be eaten too much:

(1) Cool fruits: cantaloupe, watermelon, melon, pear, kiwi, mango, and grapefruit. If a breastfeeding mother consumes excessive amounts of cool fruits such as watermelon, it can easily cause diarrhea in the baby.

(2) Chilled fruits: Especially in summer, many mothers like to put fruits in the refrigerator to chill them before taking them out. This is a taboo for breastfeeding mothers. Eating too much of this kind of fruit will not only cause diarrhea to the mother, but also to the baby. The best way is to leave the fruit out of the refrigerator at room temperature for half an hour before eating.
