After unloading the goods, many pregnant women are anxious to change the big trucks back to cars, and there is even a saying that they will not lose weight if they don't lose weight within six months! In this regard, Dr. Zhang Jiabei, Dean of Kang Hua Chinese Medicine Clinic, slammed on the brakes. She reminded that premature weight loss after childbirth will make the milk less and thinner, and even the slimming effect will be discounted.

Weight control during pregnancy

If you don't want to lose weight after delivery, you should control your weight within a reasonable range during pregnancy, and the weight gain during the whole pregnancy should be controlled at around 10 kg.

milk secretion

Premature postpartum weight loss will affect the quality and quantity of milk secretion, which is not conducive to breastfeeding. Mother's nutrition and weight will affect the quality and quantity of milk secretion. Therefore, if you control your weight too early, the amount of milk will be less and less, which will lead to insufficient food for children and shortened feeding frequency.

The lochia is endless

Drink plenty of water and warm water. Postpartum lochia, a menstrual-like secretion, will be discharged. Drinking cold water will cause poor uterine contraction, resulting in unclean discharge of lochia. In addition, the breast belongs to apocrine gland, so the body must be hot and sweaty, which is conducive to lactation. Drinking too much cold water will make the body too cold and may affect lactation.

Postpartum slimming opportunity

The time to lose weight after childbirth can't be urgent. At least when children no longer rely on breast milk and start eating non-staple food, they should actively manage their weight, so as to get twice the result with half the effort.
