Can I use a tummy belt 4 months after delivery?
Four months after delivery, the effect of abdomen reduction may not be too good, but it will still have some effect. Whether it is a natural delivery or a caesarean section, the pelvis of mothers will be widened because of the increase of hormones, preparing for a natural delivery. However, the study found that the female hormone did not decrease within 42 days after delivery, and the pelvis still had good plasticity. Therefore, applying appropriate external force to the pelvis within 42 days after delivery can effectively help the pelvis return to the prenatal state. In other words, unlike the recovery state of women's abdomen, the pelvis can only recover effectively during the second month.
Therefore, whether it is a natural delivery or a caesarean section, as long as they feel good about themselves, they can start using pelvic correction belts 2 or 3 days after delivery. Pelvic belt is different from ordinary abdominal belt, which is used in a lower position, and its function is to moderately exert inward pressure on the pelvis to promote its recovery as soon as possible.
Four months after delivery is not the best state of recovery. At this time, the effect of abdomen contraction may not be very good if you use the abdomen belt. But the fat is flowing within six months after delivery, which is the best time to rebuild your body shape. Reasonable use of abdominal belt has great influence on the recovery of postpartum body shape.
Dietary taboos during lactation
From the last article, we can know which foods are better for mothers to eat during lactation. So, are there any taboos in the meantime? In fact, the older generation always warned new mothers not to eat cold fruits, such as watermelon, greasy food and even soy sauce vegetables during breastfeeding. Although you don't have to be as cautious as the older generation said, you should still pay attention to some aspects, including:
First of all, we must ensure comprehensive and balanced nutrition and pay special attention to the cooking methods of food. Breastfeeding mothers should have a comprehensive diet. Chicken, duck, fish, fruits and vegetables can be safely eaten, but attention should be paid to the cooking methods of food. What the mother eats at this time will affect the baby's health, so avoid eating half-cooked food and spicy food.
Second, never eat food or drinks containing preservatives, so mothers who usually like to eat snacks must hold back their appetite during this time and think about their baby's health.
The third is to eat as little or no hot food as possible. For example, garlic, leeks, fennel and other foods are easy to get angry after eating, which will cause the mother to get angry and then affect the baby. Therefore, women should try to eat less or not during lactation.
Fourth, stay away from alcohol, tobacco, coffee, cola and other beverages. Studies have shown that nicotine intake will have a certain impact on the baby's development. Therefore, in addition to the mother's own non-smoking, we should also avoid second-hand smoke.
In short, during breastfeeding, mothers should pay attention to their diet for the health of their babies.
