What to do if your stomach is not good during breastfeeding

Lactation is the most important period in a woman's life. All bodily functions of lactating women are in a relatively sensitive and delicate state. Family members should give them enough care and attention. If symptoms such as poor gastrointestinal function are found during lactation, attention should be paid to adjusting the diet, mainly eating a light diet, and eating at regular times and in fixed quantities. Don't put more burden on the gastrointestinal tract due to irregular lifestyle.

Poor gastrointestinal function is caused by many factors. For example, it may be caused by morning sickness before or after pregnancy, or by poor diet after pregnancy, etc. Generally speaking, people with poor stomach digestion function will feel full after eating a little, and will feel bloated if they eat a little more. Especially if they eat more at night, the bloating in the stomach will affect their sleep. Hard, fibrous foods are difficult to digest.

The stomach will feel uncomfortable during breastfeeding, so it is recommended to eat small meals frequently. If it is not time for a regular meal yet, you can supplement some food, but not too much. You must remember that this is not a regular meal, and you still have to eat regular meals as normal. The food should be soft and loose. It is not advisable to eat too much tough and refreshing food because these things are the most difficult to digest. It is best to drink soup before meals, as drinking it after meals will increase digestion difficulties. It is best not to eat two or three hours before going to bed, otherwise it will easily affect your sleep. If you feel hungry, drink more water.

Patients with poor gastrointestinal health should pay special attention to their daily diet. A light diet structure and regular eating habits are necessary for regulating the gastrointestinal tract. We recommend that you do not eat some irritating foods, tobacco, alcohol, fried, high-fat, and high-sugar foods. In daily life, we recommend that you maintain a good attitude and a happy mood, so that the gastrointestinal tract has sufficient power to digest the food we consume.
