Here, I want to say: Confucius' wine, the holy product of lactation, will not produce milk, but will harm Ma Bao and the baby!
Does it really have a prolactin effect? In fact, everyone has made a common misunderstanding of postpartum diet. See if you've been tricked.
Myth 1: Drink the galactagogue soup made of crucian carp, trotters and pigeons.
In the second month, many elderly people will let their mothers drink various breast-feeding soups, saying that they can help breast-feeding. The ingredients of the classic prolactin soup are crucian carp, trotters, ribs, black-bone chicken, pigeons and so on. Breastfeeding soup will last for several hours, but in fact, the saturated fat, purine and cholesterol in thick soup are very high, which is unhealthy, and it is easier for mother to gain weight and block milk, and it is more difficult to lose weight after childbirth.
Many popular science scientists have said that soup is not as "nutritious" as we thought. Most nutrients in food remain in a solid state, although some nutrients (such as sarcoplasmic proteins, amino acids, peptides, etc. ) can be dissolved in soup, but their amount is very small.
If the mother wants to eat the nutrients of food in the second month, it will be better to eat meat directly. If they want to drink soup, they can't be too salty and greasy!
Myth 2: Drink yellow wine and eat fermented eggs in confinement.
Many areas in the south have the custom of drinking rice wine, yellow wine and shochu to make eggs during February 2, but in fact, no matter what kind of wine, it has no effect on milk production! And the alcohol concentration contained in it will also inhibit milk production. Because alcohol has diuretic effect on the one hand, it will make the body lose water quickly, and on the other hand, it will inhibit the secretion of milk-producing hormones, resulting in a decrease in milk production.
Moreover, breastfeeding mothers can't touch any alcohol, and alcohol will enter breast milk. If a mother feeds her baby after drinking, it may lead to abnormal excitement, irritability, drowsiness and even refusal to drink milk. Excessive alcohol intake may directly endanger the baby's health.
But some treasure moms will say: I feel more milk after drinking the moon wine. How do you explain this?
Some precious mothers will feel that their milk has gone up or increased after drinking for the second month. In fact, this is the role of alcohol, but alcohol can't help Ma Bao lactation, it just makes the secreted milk flow out quickly. In addition, alcohol can inhibit oxytocin and hinder the discharge of milk, so some precious mothers will have increased milk.
Myth 3: The lighter the postpartum diet, the better. You can't add salt or any seasoning when cooking.
Many mothers may have heard that during the second month, the diet should be light, and the clear soup is short of water, so cooking and stewing soup without salt and any seasoning is considered healthier and conducive to postpartum slimming. But if you don't put any salt and seasoning, it's a bit exaggerated.
In fact, postpartum sweating is more, milk secretion is strong, and the maternal body is prone to lack of water and salt. It is necessary to eat salt in moderation.
Myth 4: Eat eggs every day to supplement your body.
Many people in the older generation think that eggs are very nutritious, and they will make egg soup, boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, etc. for new mothers, thinking that this can help women replenish their bodies and regain their vitality.
Although eggs are indeed high-protein and nutritious foods, eating too many eggs will affect the absorption of other nutrients, and may also cause gastrointestinal adverse reactions, leading to high cholesterol, so moderate amounts are better.
Myth 5: Is it beneficial to eat more ginger and brown sugar?
"Drink ginger juice", "Jiang Shui shampoo" and so on. Have you ever felt the "no ginger and no joy" in the second month? Ginger can promote blood circulation, but eating too much will increase bloody lochia, make lochia endless, the endometrium can not be well repaired, and it will also cause anemia and postpartum weakness.
Brown sugar can promote blood circulation, and you will always drink some brown sugar water during menstruation. If you eat more brown sugar after delivery, it will easily lead to an increase in vaginal bleeding and cause adverse consequences. It is advisable to supplement brown sugar half a month after delivery.
After the baby is born, the most important task for mothers is to recover and take care of the baby. Don't let these unwarranted taboos put your body in an unsafe state. The confinement itself is to make the mother's body recover better, so adopting scientific fitness methods is the best policy.
