Many mothers have been caught in the three common ways of cheating money in mother and infant shops.

As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I hope every woman can better understand her body, know more reliable health knowledge and better protect herself.

Last winter, I was worried that the heating in my home was not enough, so I took my baby to take a bath in the mother and infant store. After all, there was full heating.

After several visits, I found that the mother and infant store was also a place with deep routines.

Routine 1: Experts Measure Trace Elements with Advanced Instruments

In fact, as early as 2013, the National Health and Discipline Inspection Commission issued a notice: trace elements shall not be used as physical examination items for examination, especially for babies within 6 months old. Unless it is suspected that there is a necessary examination for childhood diseases.

For babies within 6 months, as long as they eat breast milk and drink milk powder, trace elements are enough. If exclusive breast-feeding has less outdoor activities, 400 units of vitamin D can be supplemented every day. And for babies after 6 months, as long as they drink milk well and add supplementary foods, trace elements will not be short.

Moreover, trace elements in the body can be detected by clamping a clip. This examination method is simply unreliable and the so-called results are simply inaccurate.

I once squatted beside [experts] for more than half an hour and found that all the children were iron, calcium and zinc deficient. Anyway, as long as you come to check, it is right.

The next step is to recommend health care products.

First, let’s have a free trace element examination and then sell you hundreds of thousands of health care products, which really answers that sentence [free is the most expensive]!

Routine 2: Don’t discharge residual milk, breast cancer is waiting for you,

This kind of statement, has already had a lot of conscience public number to refute the rumor. Needless to say, we just need to firmly remember is:

There is no need to drain residual milk! Residual milk will not cause cancer!

In addition to pocketing money, the discharge of residual milk may also stimulate the breast, causing the milk to be unable to stop secreting for a long time. After the discharge, the discharge is not until the milk empties the wallet!

If the manipulation is too heavy, it may also lead to mastitis and even breast tissue adhesion.

What we need to do is to wait for the residual milk to be absorbed by itself.

If you consider the problem of baby bathing in winter and don’t want to get stuck with the mother and infant store, in the face of their enthusiastic recommendation, you just need to say: I have less milk and don’t have to wait.

Routine 3: Breast Maintenance, Keep Youth Forever!

Ovarian maintenance, most of the time is to apply some essential oil, give you a belly massage. In fact, the ovary is located deep in the pelvic cavity, under normal circumstances simply cannot be touched! Rubbing your stomach with some essential oil has no [maintenance] effect at all.

Other mother and infant shops will give you oral medicine together and tell you [internal adjustment and external nutrition, menstruation adjustment and palace protection]. In fact, many of these essential oils are three-no products that are not clearly marked or even available in what. If you use these products, they really affect menstruation and cure acne on the skin, etc., it is very likely that hormones have been added.

It is very dangerous to use hormones without knowing the dosage, specific composition and indication of use. Irregular use of estrogen will definitely increase the risk of endometrial cancer, breast cancer, etc.

Of course, we should still go to the mother and infant store, but we just need to buy what we really need and don’t be fooled by some routines.
