Myth 1: Drinking brown sugar water for a long time
Drinking brown sugar water for a long time, the blood circulation of brown sugar will increase the blood volume of lochia, and at the same time increase the body heat, which will lead to the expectant mother getting fat gradually. In hot summer, drinking too much brown sugar will lead to excessive sweating, weakness and even poisoning.
Therefore, the time for drinking brown sugar water is generally controlled at 7- 10 days after delivery.
Myth 2: The more you eat, the more you make up.
Poor gastrointestinal peristalsis after delivery affects bile excretion. Protein in eggs stays in gastrointestinal tract for a long time, which is easy to cause abdominal distension and constipation. Eating too many eggs will not only fail to absorb nutrients, but also affect the intake of other foods.
Therefore, eggs should be eaten in moderation.
Myth 3: You can't eat salt after childbirth.
The main component of salt is sodium. Is to maintain the electrolyte balance in the body. If expectant mothers don't eat salt at all, it will not only affect the appetite of nursing mothers, but also be detrimental to the physical development of newborn babies. Expectant mothers eat too much salt, which will increase the burden on the kidneys and raise blood pressure.
Therefore, expectant mothers should not eat too much salt, and should not eat no salt at all.
Myth 4: Drink a lot of soup too early.
The newborn baby has a small belly and eats less. The baby's unfinished milk accumulates in the mother's mammary duct, causing breast pain. Once infected by bacteria, it will cause breast infection, which is easy to cause breast redness and even pus. Affect normal breastfeeding.
Therefore, expectant mothers should not drink a lot of boiled milk soup after delivery.
Myth 5: drinking tea
Tea contains tannic acid, which combines with iron in food to affect absorption and promote maternal anemia. Caffeine contained in tea will stimulate brain excitement after drinking, which is not suitable for falling asleep and affects the physical recovery of pregnant women. Caffeine enters the baby's body through milk, which easily leads to intestinal spasm.
Myth 6: Eat a lot of chocolate.
Theobromine contained in chocolate will penetrate into the milk and accumulate in the baby. Lead to indigestion, unstable sleep and constant crying. Theobromine can also damage the baby's nervous system and increase urine output.
Therefore, the new mother must not eat a lot of chocolate after giving birth, so as not to have a bad influence on the baby.
Myth 7: Avoid vegetables and fruits.
Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, which can promote the recovery of intestinal function, accelerate the metabolism of toxins in Shenitong and prevent constipation.
The fruit eaten by the new mother should not be cold, so it should be cleaned or peeled before eating to avoid diarrhea.
Myth 8: Overeating.
Maternal gastrointestinal function is weak, and overeating is not only difficult to digest, but also increases weight. You can eat a small amount of meals during confinement, and you can eat 5-6 times a day.
Myth 9: dieting to lose weight
Dieting can't guarantee the intake of nutritious food, and the body's calories will not be sufficient, which can neither meet the baby's nutritional needs, nor is it conducive to postpartum recovery.
I believe that all new mothers have a clear understanding of the misunderstanding of confinement after childbirth. As long as expectant mothers pay more attention to some dietary problems, they can easily sit on the moon.
