Because breast milk is the main food source for breast-fed babies, breast-fed mothers must protect this granary in order to continuously produce breast milk for their babies.
So what are the taboos for breastfeeding mothers?
1. Milk-returning food
If Ma Bao wants to continue breastfeeding, she must ensure that she has enough breast milk, so that she can satisfy her baby. Therefore, we must avoid returning to milk food in our diet. Milk-returning foods are foods that cause less milk, so lactating mothers must eat them carefully. Commonly used milk-returning foods are leek, hawthorn, malt, coffee, strong tea and so on.
Of course, not everyone will return to milk after eating these foods. If breast milk is sufficient and you don't eat much, it naturally has no effect. But mothers who don't have enough breast milk should not try it, so as not to spoil the baby's rations.
2. Spicy food
If Ma Bao eats some spicy food, the taste of milk will also change, and the baby is likely to suffer from stomach upset because of eating the milk. On the other hand, Ma Bao's eating these foods may also irritate her stomach and cause abdominal pain and other symptoms.
The most common of these foods are pepper, pepper and garlic.
Some mothers may say that even if they eat these in the second month, it's okay, but everyone's physique is different, so just eat according to their own physique.
3. Frozen food
If Ma Bao eats cold food, it may lead to infantile diarrhea.
Therefore, Ma Bao had better not eat the food just taken out of the refrigerator. If she really wants to eat it, she should heat it. As for food such as ice cream, if you really want to eat it, take a few bites to relieve your appetite. If you want to eat more, wait until you are weaned.
Watermelon is the representative of the most common cold food. If you are still breastfeeding, you must pay attention to the amount of watermelon.
4. greasy food
Many precious mothers are particularly hungry during breastfeeding because they consume a lot of energy during breastfeeding. Because I'm hungry, I have a soft spot for greasy food, but it's really bad for Ma Bao to eat too greasy food.
First, it is easy to cause milk to be too sticky and blocked.
Secondly, the food is too greasy to digest.
Third, the baby may also be too thick to absorb.
Therefore, Ma Bao's diet had better be light.
6. Angry food
If Ma Bao eats too much food that gets angry, it will easily lead to the baby getting angry, which may lead to the baby's restless sleep and constipation.
For example, some mothers like durian very much. Durian can give milk, but durian is easy to get angry, so Ma Bao must be careful not to overdo it when eating, so as not to overdo it.
In short, for the sake of the baby, lactating mothers should avoid eating.
