Are lactating women really that hungry? In fact, lactating women are really hungry, simply because of breastfeeding. Don't think that breastfeeding is sitting. In fact, breastfeeding also consumes calories. In fact, every time a woman produces 1ml of milk, she will consume corresponding calories.
If you feed your baby normally every day, you can consume a lot of calories. According to some nutritionists, in the first six months of lactation, normal breastfeeding can consume 500 calories a day, which is equivalent to running two kilometers. Can you not be hungry?
Moreover, the more milk a mother produces, the more calories she consumes, and naturally the easier it is to feel hungry. And some mixed mothers will not feel so hungry relatively.
So many mothers say they want to lose weight in the second month, and doctors will tell them to breastfeed their babies more, which can consume a lot of calories.
Dabao of lazy mother's house is mixed-fed, so she doesn't feel hungry during lactation and eats as usual. At that time, the woman across the hall was born a month earlier, and she could eat a pig's trotters or a chicken, plus a dozen eggs, six times a day, and two bowls of rice for each meal. If the chicken she killed is smaller, it won't be enough to eat.
Bauer is completely breast-fed, so she is hungry every day. It turns out that she only eats three meals a day. Later, I was too hungry, so I changed it to four meals, but I must have meat, and I especially like greasy food, otherwise I will feel empty and hungry. Of course, greasy food is not good, so milk is often blocked.
Although I eat like this every day, my weight has not changed. I have maintained my pre-pregnancy weight since I was born, and I have lost weight during the whole lactation period except for those days when I had a fever.
What should I pay attention to during lactation? 1. Don't eat or drink.
If mother feels hungry, she will eat. After all, it is really easy to get hungry when breastfeeding, but the degree of hunger is corresponding to the milk production. If the milk yield is low and mother is not so hungry, don't eat or drink.
Don't cheat yourself to eat with an empty stomach under the guise of breastfeeding, or you will regret gaining weight.
My friend was only 90 kg before pregnancy, and when she gave birth, she was 130 kg. After giving birth to the baby, she ate hard and ate hard. The key is that the baby is not too heavy, which leads to weight gain all the time. Now 140 kg, the baby is four years old. My friend has been on the way to lose weight.
2. Don't be too greasy
Mom's diet really shouldn't be too greasy. Too greasy is easy to accumulate fat on her body, and it is also easy to cause milk blockage and indigestion.
3. Don't be obsessed with irritating food.
Some foods that you usually like to eat, such as ice cream, peppers, peppers, etc. It is irritating and should not be eaten by breastfeeding mothers.
4. Don't eat too much
Some mothers will eat more food on the original basis when they are hungry. For example, they used to eat only one bowl per meal, but now they have changed to two bowls, and they will feel too hungry and full at once.
If mom often feels hungry, she can add meals, such as changing the original three meals a day to four meals, or changing them to five meals and six meals, and increasing the amount by adding meals.
In fact, lactation is not only easy to feel hungry, but also easy to feel thirsty, because most of the milk is water, which can be as high as 80% or more. Therefore, every time my mother feeds, she will consume a lot of water. Some mothers will feel particularly thirsty after feeding and need to replenish water immediately.
Finally, it is normal for lactating mothers to feel hungry and thirsty. Therefore, it is unnecessary to have too much psychological burden to eat when you are hungry and drink when you are thirsty.
