Can I breastfeed after taking a CT scan during breastfeeding?

Many female friends are always worried that they will not be able to feed their baby if they have a CT scan during breastfeeding. But in fact, this is not the case. As long as you don’t do CT scans frequently, there will basically be no impact. The impact on the baby is mainly concentrated on diet and some small details in life. So in terms of diet, try to use some light and easily digestible food.

③ Excessively stimulating seasonings, such as chili peppers, should be used in moderation by breastfeeding mothers.

3. Fried foods and high-fat foods: These foods are difficult to digest and are high in calories, so they should be consumed in moderation.

4. Cigarettes and tobacco: If a breastfeeding mother continues to smoke while breastfeeding, nicotine will quickly appear in the breast milk and be absorbed by the baby. Studies have shown that nicotine has adverse effects on the baby's respiratory tract. Therefore, it is best for breastfeeding mothers to quit smoking and avoid inhaling secondhand smoke.

5. Medicine: For breastfeeding mothers, although most medicines will not affect the baby at normal doses, it is still recommended that breastfeeding mothers tell their doctors that they are breastfeeding before taking the medicine on their own, so that the doctor can prescribe suitable medicines and choose medicines with shorter duration to minimize the amount of medicine that passes through breast milk.

In addition, if a mother takes medicine after breastfeeding her baby, she should feed the baby when the concentration of the medicine in the breast milk reaches the lowest, so that the baby will be safer.

6. Allergic conditions: Sometimes newborns may suffer from some allergic conditions. Postpartum mothers may wish to observe whether the baby's skin has rashes and evaluate their own diet as a reference for early detection and early treatment. Therefore, it is recommended that postpartum mothers breastfeed and avoid eating any food that may cause allergies in the baby.

1. The diet of a nursing mother must not be partial or picky. She must be willing to eat coarse grains, fine grains, meat, vegetables, melons and fruits. This can improve the quality of breast milk and be beneficial to the growth and development of the baby.

2. Nursing mothers should try to eat less irritating food, because if they eat irritating food, it will enter the baby's body through breast milk and affect the baby's health. But it is okay to eat a small amount of condiments, such as pepper, vinegar, etc.
