What if I have breast milk when I am not breastfeeding?

Everyone knows about lactation. Lactation is the period when a person or animal feeds their child after giving birth. Moreover, during breastfeeding, women must pay attention to the nutrition in their bodies, and at the same time we must also pay attention to some of our own taboos. Because whether it is during breastfeeding or normal period, we should not only be responsible for ourselves, but also for the health of our baby. Our own health can protect our baby. Today I will tell you what you should pay attention to during breastfeeding.

The lactation period refers to the period after childbirth when a mother feeds her baby with her own breast milk, which is the period from the beginning of breastfeeding to the cessation of breastfeeding, usually lasting about 10 months to 1 year. Article 9 of the Regulations on Labor Protection for Female Employees stipulates that for female employees who have infants under one year old, their employer should provide them with two breastfeeding (including artificial feeding) periods of thirty minutes each during each working shift. For multiple births, the breastfeeding time should be increased by 30 minutes for each additional baby. The two breastfeeding breaks during each working shift of female employees can be combined. Breastfeeding time and the time spent traveling to and from breastfeeding within the unit are counted as working time.

1. Malted milk

Because the malt in malted milk will inhibit the mammary gland from secreting milk, reducing milk production, which is not good for the baby's health.

2. Spicy and irritating food

Breastfeeding mothers should try to eat less irritating foods, such as leeks, garlic sprouts, chili peppers, pepper, fennel, and wine. Irritating foods can not only easily damage body fluids, consume qi and blood, aggravate qi and blood deficiency, and cause constipation, but also easily enter the baby's body through breast milk and affect the baby's health. However, a small amount of condiments, such as pepper, vinegar, etc., are still acceptable.

3. Fried foods and high-fat foods

This type of food is not easy to digest. Breastfeeding mothers have weak digestive ability, and the nutrients in fried food have been lost a lot during the frying process. Eating it during breastfeeding is not good for postpartum recovery.

4. Foods such as leeks, malt water, ginseng, etc.

These foods can inhibit milk secretion and lead to insufficient breast milk supply.

5. Pickled meat and fish

The daily salt intake for adults is 4.5 to 9 grams. According to your usual habits, do not avoid salt, but also do not eat too salty food. Eating too much salt will increase the burden on the kidneys, which is not good for the kidneys and will also increase blood pressure. Moreover, these things are not fresh, and eating too much is not good for the baby's health.

6. Tobacco, alcohol, coffee, etc.

Tobacco, alcohol and coffee are things you should try to stay away from during breastfeeding. Everyone knows how harmful smoking is to babies. Although a small amount of alcohol can promote milk secretion, excessive alcohol will inhibit milk secretion. Coffee contains caffeine, so breastfeeding mothers are advised to drink less or no coffee.

The above are the things that professionals have introduced to everyone that should be paid attention to during breastfeeding, so we should pay attention to our living habits and eating habits. For our own health and the health of our baby, we must eat some digestive and nutritious foods. This is the only way to have a good body. I hope the above content can help you.
