What should breastfeeding women do if they have indigestion?

Women who are breastfeeding must pay more attention to their diet, because the health of women at this stage may affect the health of the baby. They need to eat light food on a normal basis, otherwise they will experience some indigestion. So I don’t know that there are many foods that women cannot eat. Next, the editor will give you a detailed introduction to the dietary conditioning for breastfeeding women. I hope it will be helpful to you.

1. Don’t be greedy during breastfeeding and stay away from these foods

Don't be greedy for cold and raw foods. Most mothers after childbirth are weak and have weak qi and blood. They need warm and nourishing foods to restore their strength. If you eat cold and raw food after giving birth, it will not be conducive to the recovery of qi and blood, and it will easily lead to spleen and stomach digestion and absorption dysfunction, and it will not be conducive to the discharge of lochia and the removal of blood stasis.

Don't eat too much spicy food. Eating spicy food during breastfeeding, such as chili peppers, will not only aggravate qi and blood deficiency and easily lead to constipation, but it will also be bad for the baby after entering the breast milk. Stimulating foods, such as alcohol, strong tea, coffee, etc., will affect sleep and gastrointestinal function and inhibit milk secretion. These foods will also have an impact on the baby when they enter the baby's body.

Don't be greedy for salty food. Salty food, such as pickled products, contains too much salt, which can easily cause water retention in the mother and also affect the baby's taste. However, it does not mean that you cannot eat any salt after giving birth. Because you urinate more and sweat more, you excrete more salt. You need to supplement a certain amount of salt to maintain electrolyte balance. You should also add a small amount of salt when cooking and making soup.

Don't be greedy for hard and indigestible food. The gastrointestinal function of the postpartum woman is weak, and the amount of exercise is small. If she eats hard, fried, greasy and fatty food, it will be difficult for the digestion and absorption of the postpartum woman, and it may easily lead to indigestion and breed hemorrhoids. It will also make the breast milk greasy and affect the baby's digestion.

Don’t eat too much. The gastrointestinal function of postpartum women is relatively poor, and eating too much will hinder their digestive function. Even if they have a small appetite, new mothers should limit their intake. It is best to eat small meals frequently, 5-6 times a day.

To sum up, the above content is some dietary precautions that the editor has compiled about breastfeeding women. I hope that the majority of female friends must pay more attention to care in daily life. There are many times that require more attention. Don’t eat just because you like it. If you eat too much, you may experience some indigestion. If you have indigestion, you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately.
