Why is my tongue white after giving birth?

Women are very weak during the confinement period. Because of childbirth, women's bodies will lose a lot of qi and blood. During the confinement period, most women will breastfeed, so some nutrients in the women's bodies will be absorbed by the baby, and the women's resistance will be reduced, which will cause many diseases, such as white tongue. So what is the reason for the white tongue during the confinement period?

If a mother has a very thick and white tongue coating after childbirth, it is often considered a sign of excess dampness in traditional Chinese medicine. Because the tongue coating is a symptom of dampness, if it is thick and white, it is often because the mother is postpartum and, in order to take care of the baby or is afraid of moving or catching cold, she may lie in bed or sit in bed for a long time and have very little activity. At this time, she is prone to poor Qi flow in the body, resulting in a thick and white tongue coating. Or it may be because the mother has to eat some highly nutritious food for breastfeeding, such as drinking a lot of pig's trotter soup, or some greasy food, and the mother does not exercise much and cannot digest it, which can also cause a thick and white tongue coating.
