What to do if a breastfeeding mother has indigestion

Breastfeeding mothers should pay special attention to their physical condition. They should not eat too cold or irritating foods to prevent a series of health problems caused to the baby through breast milk, such as diarrhea, fever, etc. They should not take medicines easily, because the side effects of medicines or incomplete metabolism of certain drugs will be directly transmitted to the baby's body through breast milk, seriously affecting the baby's health. Therefore, if a breastfeeding mother has food accumulation, it is best to treat it with food first.

1. Take more digestive aids, such as stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets and metoclopramide.

2. Physically cool the abdomen and apply hot compresses in cold weather.

3. Drink more water. Drinking more water is not just a catchy phrase, you should drink more water.

4. Massaging the abdomen more often helps digestion.

5. Eat a light diet and try to eat less or no greasy and indigestible food.

6. Eat more acidic foods, such as hawthorn, to help digestion.

7. Exercise more.

The best conditioning method, both healthy and nutritious: Function: Opens the chest, relieves gas, and strengthens the stomach.

Method: 1 white radish, 50 grams of rice. Wash the white radish and rice separately. Slice the radish, boil it for 30 minutes, then add the rice and cook together (if you don’t eat radish, remove the radish and then add the rice). Cook until the rice is soft and the soup is thick, add appropriate amount of brown sugar and bring to a boil. Tip: White radish is a food that is refreshing and heat-reducing, and is often used alone in soup.

8. When cough caused by indigestion occurs, you can use raw white sesame seeds and rock sugar, brew it with boiling water and let it cool down. Just drink the water, no need to eat the sesame seeds. If you add too much rock sugar and it is too sweet, you can add some boiled water to dilute it. The effect is immediate and very good. It is best to use it together with massage and drinking white sesame water.

9. Massage Tiantu for 1 minute. Tiantu is located in the center of the two clavicles. Gently massage in the direction of the bones.

9. Press and rub Tanzhong for 1 minute. Tanzhong is located at the midpoint of the line connecting the two nipples.

10. Massage the lung point for 1 minute, pushing from both sides of the shoulder blades toward the middle. The depression at the end of the shoulder blade is the lung point. The cough-relieving effect is better when combined with pushing the shoulder blades separately.

11. Pinch the four seams to treat indigestion, the effect is immediate. Pinch the four seams 10 times, and use the nail of your thumb to pinch and rub the four horizontal lines at the first joints of your index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger one by one. Pinch both hands, and carefully look at the blood vessels at the four seams of these fingers. Pay special attention to pinching those that are dark, purple or black. This acupuncture point is not sensitive, so you need to use a little force when pinching it.
