Hi Chervy, Yes, do take that the herbs mentioned below are to be avoided if you are breastfeeding, especially if your baby is having G6PD deficiency. - Jin Yin hua (金银花) - Niu huang (牛黄) - Huang lian (黄连) - La mei hua (腊梅花) - Zhen zhu (珍珠) Remember to inform your Chinese Physician that you are breastfeeding so as to ensure that you can continue to consume herbs that are safe for breastfeeding. - Yen and Judy 💕
