In Chinese medicine, you can still breastfeed after drinking malt and hawthorn water, but malt has the effect of retracting breast milk, which may affect milk secretion, so it is not recommended to drink malt and hawthorn water during breastfeeding.
In Chinese medicine, malt has the effect of retracting breastmilk (making breastmilk reduced or no longer secreted), reducing swelling, opening the stomach, strengthening the spleen, and eliminating food and moving qi, while hawthorn has the effect of resolving turbidity and lowering lipids (clearing the body of impurities and reducing excess fat), eliminating food and strengthening the spleen, and dispersing blood stasis and moving qi.
