Can I drink coffee after giving birth?

Some white-collar workers often drink coffee to relieve work pressure, refresh themselves and relieve fatigue. This often becomes a habit. If they don’t drink a cup of coffee every day, they will feel like something is missing. Such people may want to drink a cup of coffee after giving birth. But women's bodies are special after childbirth, and they also need to breastfeed. Is it good to drink coffee at this time?

Mothers should not drink coffee because it will affect the quality of sleep, make them excited and cause insomnia and nightmares. Drinking it frequently will also cause nausea, vomiting, headache and other symptoms. After childbirth, you need more rest and let your body recover quickly. Drinking coffee will not be conducive to the recovery of the mother.

If you are breastfeeding, you should not drink coffee because it will have a certain impact on the baby. When you breastfeed your baby, the baby will absorb the caffeine in your mother's body into its weak body through breast milk. Because the baby is still very fragile, a small dose of caffeine can cause the baby to be excited, excite the central nervous system, easily bring about uneasy emotions, and bring certain adverse effects on the baby's healthy growth.

It will affect the baby's absorption of calcium. The amount of caffeine contained in a cup of brewed coffee can reduce the absorption of 4 mg of calcium. Therefore, drinking coffee during breastfeeding has a great impact on the baby's calcium absorption. Breastfeeding your baby with caffeine may result in low bone density.

Caffeine can harm your baby's brain development. Drinking coffee while breastfeeding can cause your breast milk to contain a lot of caffeine. Caffeine stimulates the human nervous system and causes excitement. If babies drink too much breast milk containing caffeine, they will become excited and wake up at night. In severe cases, it may even damage the brain and heart.

From this we can see that pregnant women cannot drink coffee, because drinking coffee at this time will not only be detrimental to the recovery of the mother's body, but will also cause harm to the baby's body because of coffee. In severe cases, it will affect the development of the brain and intelligence. Therefore, for themselves and their babies, pregnant women must resist the urge to drink coffee after a while.
