She said, "Well, I'm worried when I get to dinner recently. I can't eat this or that. I can only eat chicken and eggs every day, and even the vegetables I like are not allowed to eat." My mother-in-law still nags me every day that my child wants to drink breast milk. As a mother, I have to learn to keep my mouth shut and tell me to get sick from my mouth. Otherwise, it will not only affect my body, but also cause her baby grandson to have stomachache, loose bowels and fever ... "
It is not easy to insist on breastfeeding, and it is necessary to break through many "taboos"
Isn't this what I looked like during pregnancy? The later the pregnancy, the more friends and colleagues like to joke and say, "You, take whatever you want to eat when you can, or you will have to wait for a year. You can't eat many foods during breastfeeding, such as crayfish, mala Tang, hot and sour powder, grilled fish, fish with Chinese sauerkraut, spicy pot, milk tea, coffee, etc."!
I believe that many precious mothers have been in such a "breast-feeding pit", and choosing breast-feeding is like being put into the cold palace. In order to make the baby's rations adequate and nutritious, many established "taboos" have to be observed. However, do you really need to pay attention to so much? To this end, Dr. Zeng came to the popular science to see whether the common taboos during breastfeeding are true or false.
First, the mixed products will return to milk-false
Since I became a mother, I have heard the most that during the baby's breast-feeding, breastfeeding mothers can't eat condiments such as onions, ginger, garlic, star anise and cinnamon, because they will return to milk. Without these ingredients, it is really difficult for me to swallow the food. Can mothers only make clear soup and eat water? Although condiments do have an impact on milk, it is not milk, but the taste of milk will be affected by mother's diet. I am breastfeeding now, and meals are basically inseparable from onions, ginger and garlic. If I want to eat braised pork, star anise and cinnamon are also necessary ingredients. My milk is still sufficient, and my baby is also very happy and satisfied.
In fact, these ingredients will not lead to milk return.
In addition to condiments, broccoli, onions, grapefruit, strawberries, oranges, oranges, lemons and other fruits and vegetables will also slightly change the taste of milk. However, this does not mean that nursing mothers should stay away from these foods. Although many foods will slightly change the smell and taste of milk, at the same time, they can expose the baby to rich tastes in advance, and it is easier to accept these tastes when adding complementary foods in the future. Moreover, breastfeeding requires comprehensive and balanced nutrition. Only by diversifying the mother's diet can we better protect the baby's food quality.
Second, drinking affects the quality of milk-true
Of course, the safest way to breastfeed is not to drink alcohol. According to research, drinking alcohol during lactation will inhibit the secretion of prolactin in the mother's body, resulting in a decrease in discharged milk. After a nursing mother drinks alcohol, alcohol will enter the blood and milk in about 30 to 60 minutes. In other words, the alcohol concentration in mother's blood is equal to that in milk. After drinking, other methods are not enough to remove alcohol from milk except time.
If under occasional special circumstances, such as dinner, breastfeeding mothers can't avoid drinking a small amount of alcohol, then make sure to eat or drink after breastfeeding, or avoid breastfeeding within 3 ~ 4 hours after drinking alcohol.
Nursing mothers drink carefully.
Three, can't eat food containing caffeine-false.
When it comes to tea, coffee, chocolate and other foods, nursing mothers are puzzled again. For a long time, these foods have been blacklisted by nursing mothers because they all contain caffeine. Excessive caffeine will indeed have some adverse effects on the baby through the mother's milk, such as irritability, colic, acid reflux and other symptoms. But if the daily intake of caffeine does not exceed 200 mg, there is no need to worry about affecting the baby.
The dosage of 200 mg of caffeine is about equivalent to 1~2 cups of 240 ml instant coffee; Or 300 grams of dark chocolate; Or five cups of 240ml black tea. Therefore, as long as it is within the safe dosage range, breastfeeding mothers can enjoy these wonderful snacks.
Fourth, if you are sick, you have to take medicine-fake.
Breastfeeding is a very hard thing. If mothers get sick during lactation, it will be a great test both physically and psychologically. Many mothers are worried that taking medicine will have an impact on their babies, so they choose to use their own immune system to "hard carry". In fact, breastfeeding can also be used safely. The common cold is mostly a self-limited disease of virus infection, which will heal itself in a week or so. However, many mothers will have fever symptoms after catching a cold. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it will make people feel uncomfortable symptoms such as headache, muscle aches and general weakness. At this time, nursing mothers can take acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce fever.
If you are sick, you should take the medicine when you should.
However, when the common cold is complicated with bacterial infection, the possibility of self-healing becomes smaller, and antibiotics are needed. For nursing mothers, penicillins and cephalosporins are safe. But here, Dr. Zeng suggested that nursing mothers should seek medical advice in time after getting sick, and take drugs according to the doctor's advice to avoid the influence of drug abuse on their babies.
Five, suffering from mastitis can not breastfeed-false
Once the mother suffers from mastitis, there will be symptoms such as breast redness and pain. Some mothers will feel cold and hot, tired and sore all over like they have the flu. If you suffer from mastitis, your mother should empty your breasts frequently to help you recover, and the baby's sucking is the best way to help your mother empty her breasts. The milk after the mother suffers from mastitis is also safe for the baby. If you feel that it hurts too much when your baby sucks, you can use a breast pump to suck out the excess milk to avoid siltation. After each feeding, you can use cold compress to relieve the pain, and you must pay attention to rest at the same time. However, conservative nursing like this can't relieve the pain, or if there are symptoms of fever, you need to seek medical advice in time.
Babies' sucking is the best way to help mothers empty their breasts.
Breast-feeding is not easy. Mothers who insist on breast-feeding are great. May all breast-feeding mothers take care of their bodies while loving their babies. After all, only healthy mothers can raise excellent babies!
