What are the myths about maternal nutrition during breastfeeding?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 02/06/2025

Over time, there have been some erroneous or false beliefs about breast milk and breastfeeding that have ultimately proven to be false. Listed below are some of these false beliefs:

  • My milk is not good
  • Anger or fights cut the milk
  • Watery milk is bad
  • Cold foods reduce milk
  • If your mother didn't have much milk, you won't have it either

All of these claims about breastfeeding are false and unscientific. Therefore, these beliefs do not affect the ability to breastfeed or the quality of the milk.
