What should I do if I feel nauseous and vomit during breastfeeding?

Nausea is a term in traditional Chinese medicine. There are many reasons for nausea. The most common reason is improper diet. For example, some people like to smoke and drink, and often eat foods that are difficult to digest. These can cause nausea. In addition, it may be caused by emotional disorders. Emotional factors can indeed harm gastrointestinal health and also cause nausea. So if a woman experiences this symptom during breastfeeding, what is the correct solution?

What should I do if I feel nauseous and vomit during breastfeeding?

As we all know, nausea and vomiting are obvious symptoms in early pregnancy, so if a breastfeeding mother suddenly experiences nausea and vomiting, she must rule out pregnancy as soon as possible.

Many mothers do not take any contraceptive measures because they do not have their menstruation for a period of time during breastfeeding. In fact, the timing of menstruation during breastfeeding is uncertain. If the mother neglects the time, she may get pregnant again due to not taking any contraceptive measures.

It is very dangerous for a breastfeeding mother to become pregnant. Not only will it cause insufficient milk or direct weaning, but the mother's uterus has not yet recovered after giving birth. Pregnancy at this time is very harmful to the mother's body, so breastfeeding mothers must pay attention to contraception.

Nausea and vomiting during breastfeeding is caused by insufficient blood supply

Women are in urgent need of blood replenishment after giving birth. If the mother's blood supply is insufficient, she suffers from anemia or low blood pressure, then the breastfeeding mother will experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting.

Moreover, the milk secreted by the mother is inseparable from her own blood. During the breastfeeding period, the mother has to continue to provide milk to the baby, so a large amount of blood is needed in all aspects. Once the blood supply is insufficient, dizziness, nausea and vomiting will occur.

Generally, when the mother is just breastfeeding, the milk the baby drinks is thicker and the nausea and vomiting will be more severe. As the baby grows older, the milk will not be so thick and the nausea will get better.

Nausea and vomiting during breastfeeding is caused by gastrointestinal disease

If a breastfeeding mother suffers from gastrointestinal diseases, such as gastritis, enteritis, acute gastritis, acute gastroenteritis, etc. One of the symptoms of these gastrointestinal diseases is nausea and vomiting. If a breastfeeding mother does not control the amount of food she eats and drinks excessively in order to replenish her body, or eats unhygienic food, or catches a cold in the abdomen, this may lead to gastrointestinal diseases.

Gastritis is usually caused by unclean food, with symptoms such as acute abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, etc., and is often accompanied by acute enteritis. If only nausea, vomiting, and upper abdominal pain occur, it is acute gastritis. If accompanied by diarrhea, it is acute gastroenteritis.

Therefore, breastfeeding mothers must make reasonable arrangements for the quantity, quality and combination of various foods to ensure a balanced and regular diet.
