In order to protect maternal and infant health and reduce infant mortality, as a lactating mother, we must pay attention to diet, so as not to secrete milk that is not good for the baby and affects the baby's health. During lactation, mothers should not eat spicy food, fried food, leeks, pickled fish and so on. In addition, mother had better not eat crabs, because crabs are cold and contain purine base, which is not good for babies. What should I do if my mother eats crabs during lactation?

First of all, mother should know that eating crabs during lactation can't be breastfed immediately. It is recommended that mother breastfeed after 24 hours, and can temporarily replace it with milk powder or complementary food, depending on the baby's development. After 24 hours, the crab will be discharged from the mother without affecting the baby.

Secondly, mothers should know that drinking more water and eating crabs during lactation can speed up body metabolism and promote food discharge, which can shorten the time and feed the baby as soon as possible. In addition, mothers can eat some warm food to relieve the coldness of crabs and reduce the chances of babies having diarrhea at breast feeding.

Finally, mother should know that eating crabs during lactation will not bring back milk. Under normal circumstances, mothers will not return to milk until the end of lactation. Returning milk means that after the baby is weaned, the breast no longer secretes milk. When it's time to go back to milk, mother should eat moderately and don't eat foods with high cholesterol and purine.
