How to burn calories during breastfeeding?

The most common problem during breastfeeding is insufficient milk, and breast milk is very precious to babies. When they are young, babies can only eat breast milk, and any other food is not the best food. However, the energy consumption during breastfeeding is relatively high, so there will be problems in this regard. So how should it be adjusted? Let's take a look below.

In fact, there is no unique solution, you can choose according to the actual situation.

(1) Strengthen the baby's sucking. Experiments have shown that after the baby feeds, the prolactin in the mother's blood will increase exponentially. This is because when the baby sucks the nipple, it stimulates the mother's pituitary gland to secrete prolactin, thereby increasing milk secretion.

(2) Avoid taking medication. During the breastfeeding period, you must remind your wife not to take any medicine randomly. Some medicines and foods can affect the secretion of breast milk, such as antithyroid drugs, hawthorn, etc. If your wife is sick, it is best to take medicine under the doctor's orders.

(3) Supplement nutrition. All the nutrients in breast milk come from the mother's body. If the mother is in a state of malnutrition for a long time, it will naturally affect the normal milk secretion. You must fulfill your role as chef well and choose foods with high nutritional value for your wife, such as milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc. At the same time, prepare more soup, which can catalyze the secretion of your wife's milk.

(4) Maintain the nurse’s good mood. After giving birth, mothers will experience greater mood swings due to physiological and environmental factors, and often become depressed, which will restrict the secretion of breast milk. Medical experiments have shown that when a mother is depressed, her milk secretion will decrease sharply. Therefore, you have an obligation to create a good living environment for your wife and pay attention to her mental health at all times.

(5)Diet therapy. On the basis of taking the above measures, combining them with lactation-promoting foods, the effect will be more obvious. Foods such as pig's trotters and peanuts can promote the secretion of milk.

During breastfeeding, you must pay attention to storing energy, otherwise problems will easily arise. If your resistance is poor, it will easily lead to postpartum diseases. You should pay attention to your diet and try to eat more nutritious foods, or foods that help stimulate lactation, which can help alleviate the phenomenon of insufficient milk. The mother must maintain a good attitude, not worry too much, and try to live in a relatively quiet environment.
