Maternal diet is always important to many mothers. There are also many taboos on the seasonings in maternal food. Can postpartum women eat salt? Yes. Because people cannot lack salt, the sodium in salt is also necessary for the human body. Therefore, eating salt after childbirth will not affect milk production. Pregnant women don’t have to worry about this problem. Will eating salt after childbirth affect breast milk?

At the beginning of the article, I can’t wait to explain one of my points. Putting aside the statement that eating XXX will cause XXX problems, I think that no matter what it is, there is a conclusion in everything: things will turn to their extremes, and eating too much of a good thing will have negative effects. Therefore, whenever I hear someone say such things, I will look at them with socialist discrimination. Please forgive me for being 'shallow'.

However, having said that, I still have to give the answer first. It is certainly true that eating too much salt will affect the quality of breast milk. The reasons have been mentioned above. However, salt is a necessity for us to survive in this world, and we must eat it. If a mother does not consume enough salt in her daily diet, she will easily suffer from shortness of breath and fatigue. If she does not eat salt for a long time because she is afraid of affecting the quality of her milk, it will cause harm to our body, and the gain will not be worth the loss. .

Therefore, I would like to advise all female friends, whether I am pregnant or breastfeeding, I should still eat salt as usual. Especially for women who have just given birth, experienced life-and-death fatigue, and lacked both water and sodium in their bodies. It is even more important to have less salt in their daily diet. As long as they do not eat too salty foods and avoid high-salt foods.

What are high-salt foods? For example: ham sausage, chicken feet with pickled peppers, and bean paste. When cooking, we can also use lemon juice and ginger to replace part of the salt and soy sauce. In addition, you can eat less meat and more vegetables, because meat generally has more seasonings and salt, while vegetables are relatively lighter.

So, in addition to the appropriate amount of salt, what else should mothers pay attention to during breastfeeding?

Girls who love beauty may ask, can I use skin care products? No, Please choose carefully for your child's health. You can use some products with plant ingredients, but you have to understand that the market is too confusing and safety cannot be guaranteed.

After confinement, you may not have taken care of your hair for a long time. So, can you perm, dye and straighten your hair while breastfeeding your baby? My answer is, I don’t agree with this. There are so many unnamed chemical ingredients in hair perming agents. If they are absorbed into the mother's body through the scalp, are you really not afraid of the consequences?

Then you may also want to ask: What if I am giving it to my child? What should I do if I catch a cold while breastfeeding? This is really something you cannot predict. Colds are too common. Then eat more fruits and drink more water, mainly light food. If it doesn't relieve the problem, take isatis root, and then pay more attention to your body and breath. Remember to wear a mask when feeding your child.

Finally, let me explain that for the health of the child, mothers must not eat cold things and spicy foods in the refrigerator during breastfeeding. How long does it take for you to defecate after giving birth?

Do you defecate when you give birth? Defecation is very normal during delivery. A woman may feel worried or embarrassed while lying in bed, and she deserves the best possible conditions to complete her labor.

So how long does it take for a mother to have normal bowel movements after delivery?

During the descent of the fetal head, pressure will be exerted on the rectum. If there happens to be residual excrement in the rectum, it will cause Bowel movements: However, the midwife will remove the discharge quickly to ensure that your lower body is sterile. With this, you don’t have to worry, this happens to almost every mother, and no one will mind so much. For you, there is simply no time or energy to deal with it, and sometimes you don't even realize what is happening. The midwife will be happy because it means the labor is going well and delivery is imminent.

As for vomiting, this is also a very common phenomenon. Although it feels uncomfortable, retching does help the uterus contract. During retching, the diaphragm squeezes the uterus. This also symbolizes that the transition period is about to end and the second stage of labor is coming. When you're nauseous, the midwife will usually come over to comfort you and swab your face to reassure you, and by the time you realize you want to vomit, the next contraction begins.

In order to relieve pain, although anti-vomiting drugs will be used along with painkillers, the mother may also vomit. Generally speaking, vomiting during childbirth will stop automatically soon, followed by a period of physical and mental relaxation, and physical strength will slowly recover.

The fetus has just been regarded as a foreign body, and pregnant women have varying degrees of fear about pregnancy and childbirth due to the vomiting and discomfort caused by pregnancy reactions.
