Breastfeeding helps the baby to discharge lochia.
Women will have lochia discharge stage in postpartum confinement recovery period. This stage is to feed the baby, which sometimes makes the body uncomfortable. For example, if some women breastfeed their babies, lochia will increase. So, in this case, what will happen to the baby's lochia?

Postpartum lochia is the blood in women's postpartum uterus. Generally, most postpartum women will gradually clean up lochia within three weeks. Before the baby is discharged, sucking the nipple will make the uterus contract, which will make the uncleaned lochia contract and increase the discharge. This is a normal phenomenon, and postpartum women don't have to worry too much.

Because some women are physically weak, sometimes lochia will not be discharged for a long time. Generally, there is still lochia for more than six weeks, and it keeps dripping, which is called lochia. This situation requires timely conditioning of the body. If the symptoms are serious, you need medical treatment.

Unclean or persistent lochia will affect the recovery of postpartum uterus and have a great adverse effect on the recovery of the whole body during confinement. Therefore, during the discharge of lochia, attention should be paid to local health care, diligent cleaning and local hygiene. During this period, the diet should also be nutritious to avoid being too greasy.
