"Oh, I didn't expect you to gain so much weight after childbirth?" It has been more than two months since Xinxin gave birth to a baby. Recently, when she goes out, she always hears her former friends say such things. For all young women, figure is a very noteworthy issue. Xinxin was depressed when she heard that she was fat. In the past, Xinxin needed to supplement nutrition because of pregnancy and confinement, and losing weight would hurt her health. Now that her body is almost recuperated, she is determined to exercise and control her diet. And she thinks that sleeping will make people more and more lazy. I used to cancel going to bed at noon to lose weight. However, a month later, to Xinxin's great surprise, her figure became fatter and fatter.

A survey shows that mothers who don't get enough sleep are fatter than those who get enough sleep. Mothers who sleep more than 7 hours a day are 20 kilograms lighter than mothers who sleep less than 5 hours a day. What a big gap! In many people's minds, fat people love to sleep. How can women get thinner and thinner when they sleep? So, what is the reason?

Hormone disorder

Due to lack of sleep, the body's hormones will change, the metabolic function will be damaged, the food intake will not be metabolized normally, the excess energy will be stored in the body, and the body will become obese. The body is weaker than normal people and its metabolic function is extremely slow. So it is more difficult for pregnant women to lose weight than normal people. An extra hour or two of sleep every day for postpartum mothers will help to get back in shape.

So, what are the reasons that affect maternal sleep?

1, lose weight

Many pregnant women have a wrong idea that sleeping will make them fatter and fatter, and worrying about getting fatter every day will make them fall asleep.

Step 2 be excited

Many young women, when they become mothers for the first time, are a little excited about the change of their roles. When they are excited all day, they are not easy to get sleepy.

Step 3 take care of children

Postpartum mothers should not only recuperate their bodies, but also take care of their babies. Newborn babies are fragile, so mothers should guard them all day and nurse them at any time. When they sleep, they are also in a state of half dream and half awake, fearing that sleeping too hard will crush the baby to death.

4. Environment

Mother is weak and nervous after delivery, and needs rest. Environmental changes or noise will affect the rest of lying-in women.

Poor rest of postpartum mothers will not only affect the normal recovery of the body, but also cause endocrine disorders and less milk secretion, which will directly affect the baby's breastfeeding.
