Consequences of drinking a bottle of beer while breastfeeding

You cannot breastfeed your baby after drinking a bottle of beer because beer contains alcohol, which will affect the quality of milk and thus affect the health of the baby. If you drink beer and then breastfeed your baby during breastfeeding, it may cause sleep disorders in your baby and increase the burden on the liver, and it will stimulate the child's nerve reflexes. Therefore, mothers must learn to restrain their unhealthy lifestyles for the health of their children, and learn more about parenting knowledge.

1. Yes, alcohol, as a small molecule, can easily enter breast milk from the blood.

2. Alcohol can cause harm to the baby's heart and liver, and can also affect the nervous system, causing the baby to become abnormally excited or even have disrupted sleep. The impact is greater for premature babies, young babies, and babies with congenital diseases.

How long after drinking can a mother feed her baby?

Under normal circumstances, an adult can have a few sips of beer, which contains less than 50 ml of beer. The alcohol content of beer is mostly around 3%-5%. In this case, if a breastfeeding mother drinks beer, the alcohol will generally disappear completely from the blood and breast milk in about 2 hours, so she can usually breastfeed after 2 hours.

Although the alcohol content of beer is not high, it is not suitable for breastfeeding mothers. If you have to drink beer, it is recommended not to breastfeed immediately after drinking. You should decide how long to wait before breastfeeding based on the amount of beer you drink. It is recommended to determine the breastfeeding time based on the following amount of beer: for 10 grams of alcohol, it takes about 2 hours for the alcohol to completely disappear from the blood and breast milk; for 20 grams of alcohol, it takes about 4 hours to metabolize;

For 30 grams of alcohol, it takes 6 hours.

Breastfeeding mothers do not need to express their breast milk after drinking, because after 2-3 hours, the alcohol in the blood will be metabolized and the alcohol in the breast milk will also disappear.

Dietary considerations during lactation

1. The diet of a nursing mother must not be partial or picky. She must be willing to eat coarse grains, fine grains, meat, vegetables, melons and fruits. This can improve the quality of breast milk and be beneficial to the growth and development of the baby.

2. Nursing mothers should try to eat less irritating food, because if they eat irritating food, it will enter the baby's body through breast milk and affect the baby's health. But it is okay to eat a small amount of condiments, such as pepper, vinegar, etc.

3. Breastfeeding mothers should not eat too much chocolate, because the cocoa alkali contained in chocolate will penetrate into breast milk and accumulate in the baby's body. Theobromine can damage the nervous system and heart, relax muscles, increase urination, and cause indigestion, unstable sleep, and constant crying in infants. If a pregnant woman eats too much chocolate, it will affect her appetite and make her fat.

4. Nursing mothers should not drink too much malted milk, because the malt in malted milk will inhibit the mammary gland from secreting milk, reducing milk production, which is not good for the health of the baby.

5. During the confinement period, mothers can eat some hawthorn and hawthorn food appropriately. This is because hawthorn can help the mother's uterus contract and discharge lochia, which is good for restoring physical health.
