A while ago, a mother left a message backstage saying that she was nursing and was always restricted by her mother-in-law. She did not allow more activities or anger. She had to supplement all kinds of [oil and water] every day…….
When the mother refused to do so, her mother-in-law came up with a theory, saying that the milk in what became poisonous after her mother was angry, and the milk became hot after exercise. Without supplementing [oil and water] milk, there would be no nutrition. In short, the milk produced was not good for the baby’s health, which made the mother stunned.
In fact, there is no need to worry at all. Mother’s milk will not change so easily.
Today, we invited pediatrician Wu Feifei to give us a pick of several widely circulated breast-feeding taboos, which are unreliable.
[Air Milk] Poisonous?
My mother-in-law saw me frowning and said that when my mother was angry, the milk would be [poisonous], which was not good for the baby’s health.
This is sheer nonsense.
Don’t even think about it. If your mother is angry, breast milk will be poisonous. Shouldn’t it be your mother who was poisoned first? !
Besides, being a mother is not being a fairy either. How can there be no emotional change? If a breast-feeding mother fakes her face every day, are you afraid?
In fact, the ingredients of breast milk will only change to meet the needs of the baby’s growth. Mother’s bad mood leads to bad eating and sleeping, which will affect the production of breast milk, but will not affect the ingredients of breast milk.
It is not the mother’s own responsibility to take care of the mood of breast-feeding mothers, but the common responsibility of novice fathers, including their families, after delivery.
[Hot Milk] Can’t Be Feed?
While the little one fell asleep and went out for a trot, when he came back, he found the baby hungry and ready to nurse. The mother-in-law said that the temperature of the milk after the exercise was too high and the child was in poor health after drinking, so I was asked to squeeze it out first.
Totally nonsense.
Rumor has it that there are various explanations for [hot milk].
Some people say that [hot milk] is the milk after anger, others say that [hot milk] is the milk produced by the mother after bathing, exercising and sweating, and others say that [hot milk] is the milk produced after [popping] and so on.
If so, [hot milk] covers the milk produced by mothers in almost all cases. Isn’t that to say that breast-fed mothers have to sit quietly like wood and can’t have any activities?
People are thermostatic animals, and the temperature of milk will not rise because of the mother’s bathing and exercise. Even when the mother has a fever, she can feed the baby. There is no problem that the temperature of milk is too high.
Therefore, [hot milk] cannot be fed, which is sheer nonsense.
Some mothers think that lactic acid is produced in the body after exercise, and their milk will follow [turn sour], and the baby will not like to drink it.
In fact, studies have proved that aerobic exercise will not increase lactic acid in breast milk, but anaerobic exercise will indeed affect the taste of breast milk in a short period of time. Some babies may not accept [new taste] of breast milk very much. At this time, it is also suggested that mothers rest for a while before feeding their babies.
[Fat-free Milk] Can’t You Eat Without Nutrition?
Since the birth of the baby, every meal in the family has been filled with various kinds of soup. Crucian carp soup and barrel bone soup are served in turn. The old man in the family said that there would be no nutrition without drinking soup and milk.
It is said that mothers must eat a large amount of soup and water during lactation to ensure [oil and water]. It is also said that insufficient [oil and water] will affect the growth and development of babies and even affect their intelligence.
This is actually a pit! The mothers who fell in are getting fatter and fatter…….
In the past, people’s living standard was not high and they usually suffered from insufficient nutrition, so they were eager to supplement [oil and water] to nursing mothers.
Now everyone’s living standard has improved. At ordinary times, as long as the mother has a balanced diet, she does not need to supplement too much [oil and water]. Moreover, taking too much fat will only increase the mother’s own burden and will not make breast milk more nutritious.
[Soap Milk] Can’t Drink?
Can I take a bath with soap during lactation? In summer, only clear water is used to wash your body, and you don’t need shower gel. You can rub mud on your body!
Some people say that mothers cannot use soap to clean their breasts during lactation?
Too absolute!
This view does not mean that mothers cannot use soap or bath lotion to clean their bodies during lactation, but rather that mothers are not recommended to use soap or alcohol to clean their nipples before each lactation.
First of all, breast-feeding itself is bacteria-fed. Babies need to gradually establish intestinal flora in the process of sucking, and at the same time promote the establishment and maturity of immune system through intestinal flora.
Secondly, if soap or alcohol is used to clean before each lactation, the skin protective layer near the nipple will be damaged, which will easily lead to nipple damage.
In addition, excessive cleaning of local skin may also destroy local skin flora, which may cause mother to suffer from local flora imbalance and illness.
Therefore, breast-feeding mothers can bathe normally, but they do not need to deliberately clean their nipples before each breast-feeding,
If it is a cleanliness-addicted mother who is really tangled, it is only recommended to clean her nipples with a warm water towel before each breast-feeding.
[Medicated Milk] Harmful?
Recently, I have had a lot of colds and fevers. I have been afraid to take medicine for fear of affecting my baby because I have to nurse.
Whether the mother can take medicine during lactation or not, the answer is actually very simple, that is:
Follow the doctor’s advice!
It is true that if a mother takes medicine, some drugs will be metabolized into milk, thus affecting the health of the baby. However, such drugs are often special drugs, such as neurological drugs, such as 5-hydroxytryptamine re-extraction inhibitors, etc.
However, there is little data to confirm that safe drugs that can be taken during lactation will have a serious impact on the what of babies.
If the mother is still worried during the breast-feeding period, she can remind the doctor that she is breast-feeding and the doctor prescribes drugs that can be used safely during breast-feeding.
In fact, nursing mothers do not need to have too many taboos for the quality of milk, because most of the ingredients in milk are [water], so mothers can ensure that they drink enough water.
Mothers should first recuperate their bodies and keep in a happy mood. When they are ill, they should take medicine when they should take medicine. Only in this way can they have sufficient milk and ensure that the baby will not be hungry.
