Postpartum lochia usually lasts about 3~4 weeks. Because the uterus of the parturient is relatively large after delivery, it will gradually return to normal. If postpartum uterine contraction is not good, it is necessary to use drugs to promote uterine contraction to help the uterus recover. In this case, it does not affect the baby's breastfeeding. It is suggested that women should pay more attention to rest and keep warm, and they can also rub their stomachs properly to promote uterine recovery.
After injecting oxytocin, you can breastfeed normally. This injection will not have any effect on breastfeeding. After delivery, the parturient can also take some motherwort and Kunfukang tablets to promote uterine contraction. Be sure to take good care after delivery and eat some warm and light food.
Breastfeeding can promote lochia discharge. Breast milk contains enough water, and children who eat breast milk don't need to replenish water. Breast milk is mostly water, which can meet the baby's needs. For babies under four months old, because no non-staple food is added, their diet source is almost all milk, and nearly 85% of the milk made from breast milk or milk powder is water, which is similar to drinking water. Breast milk is the best drink for babies. The water in breast milk is suitable in temperature, clean and sterile, and it is the best drink for babies. Breastfeeding your baby as soon as possible after birth can accelerate uterine contraction and lochia discharge, which is conducive to the early recovery of the uterus.
Milk contains nutrients that babies need. Babies shape their bodies and grow up by absorbing calories and nutrients from milk. Breastfeeding can reduce the risk of breast cancer in mothers, and effective absorption of calcium can also prevent osteoporosis. Even short-term breastfeeding can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer before menopause. Breastfeeding is actually a very expensive process, which can play the role of "slimming". Before giving birth, pregnant women will accumulate about 36,000 calories in their bodies. If they don't breastfeed after giving birth, they can't emit heat and are more likely to get fat.
