Why are postpartum mothers more likely to gain weight?
Because after unloading, the baby, placenta, amniotic fluid and other substances in the body are sent over, plus breastfeeding, it should be much thinner. Why do some mothers get fat easily?
Eating habits during pregnancy. During pregnancy, for the healthy development of the fetus, the mother ate a lot of food and could not recover immediately after delivery. I am confined to my confinement and eat six or seven meals a day. In order to replenish my vitality and have enough milk to feed my baby, my figure has changed obviously during confinement (I gained ten pounds).
Irregular routine and diet. Mothers need to take care of their children after giving birth, which is actually a very hard thing, especially in recent months, when babies have to get up at night to eat milk, mothers not only have to stay up late, but also eat irregularly, and they will easily get fat.
I brought up Dabao and Bauer myself. What impressed me the most at that time was that one day I had a hot meal because my husband got off work. I cried while eating. You know, I usually hold my baby. I'll take a few mouthfuls when he's finished coaxing me. The food is already cold. When the child is asleep, I will eat more when I have time, and I won't feel hungry for one meal a day, which is also the main reason why my postpartum mother gets fat.
The same is breastfeeding. Why are some treasure moms getting thinner and thinner, and some treasure moms getting fatter?
1). Do you insist on breastfeeding?
The recovery of postpartum mother's body is the golden period within 6 months. If it exceeds this time, it will be more difficult to recover. Some mothers have become thinner, which is related to breastfeeding. Insisting on breast-feeding can make mother slim and help to consume body calories, but mother should also pay attention to controlling her mouth and try not to eat and drink indiscriminately.
2) Is there anyone to help take care of the baby?
If someone helps to take care of the baby after delivery, the mother will recover better. If a mother takes care of her children alone, she will eat irregularly like me and get fatter.
A friend of mine, after giving birth, gave it to the nanny to take care of it. She is only responsible for breastfeeding and rest. So the body recovers faster. And if there is no one to help take care of the baby, it is really too difficult for you to walk around the child in black and white and want to get back to your state.
3) Is it appropriate for you to be pregnant?
The sooner a mother is pregnant, the faster she will recover. The best pregnancy age for women is 22-29 years old. I have a friend who is pregnant at the age of 24 and hasn't gained weight since giving birth to a baby. But when she gave birth to Bauer at the age of 30, her weight was only 100 Jin. Now that Bauer is in kindergarten, his weight is still 130 kilograms, and he can't lose any more.
Ps: The function of the body after pregnancy will affect the recovery speed after delivery. School-age pregnant women lose weight faster after delivery.
4) Is there overnutrition in the month?
In addition, it is also related to the diet in the month. If you eat too much greasy food, or a lot of pig's trotters soup, fish soup, etc. Your weight will gradually increase obviously. Therefore, it is best to follow the "Pagoda of Balanced Diet for Lactating Women in China".
Ps: If my mother often stays up late and suffers from anemia, her face will be haggard, her body will recover slowly and she will get fat easily. This kind of obesity is unhealthy.
