Lactation is a special period for women after childbirth, and mothers will directly enter lactation after giving birth to their children. My mother is very weak after delivery, and she needs tonic most at this time. Moon meal is balanced and diverse in nutrition, so don't be partial to food. So what about being slow and unfocused during lactation?
Mental retardation during lactation, inattention 1 Postpartum memory loss, slow response and inattention may be normal physiological phenomena, and neurasthenia, postpartum depression and postpartum thyroiditis may also be considered. It is usually suggested to give psychological counseling, sedation and hypnosis, thyroxine replacement and other treatments according to different causes.
1, normal physiological phenomenon: The parturient has experienced pregnancy and delivery, and may have symptoms such as memory loss, slow response and inattention due to postpartum hemorrhage and decreased estrogen level. Most of them are normal physiological phenomena. Mother pays attention to rest, and family members give spiritual comfort and encouragement. Most of them can get better by themselves.
2. Neurasthenia: It may be due to poor rest of the fetus and long-term mental stress, which leads to postpartum neurasthenia, decreased memory, slow response, inattention and other symptoms. Clinical treatment is mainly psychological counseling. In daily life, pregnant women should develop good work and rest habits and avoid staying up late and being tired. If necessary, you can take sedative and hypnotic drugs such as diazepam tablets and sertraline hydrochloride under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Postpartum depression: The specific cause is unknown, which may be related to factors such as excessive postpartum mental stress and decreased postpartum estrogen level. The clinical manifestations are decreased interest, decreased memory, slow response, inattention and other symptoms, and in severe cases, suicidal tendencies. For mild depression, it is suggested to go to the hospital in time for standardized psychotherapy. For moderate depression, besides psychotherapy, drugs such as fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules should also be given according to the doctor's advice.
4, postpartum thyroiditis: the cause is unknown at this time. Because thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease, it may be related to poor maternal immunity and excessive iodine in the body, thus showing symptoms such as decreased memory, slow response, inattention and depression. It is suggested that under the guidance of a doctor, drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets should be taken orally according to the severity of the disease, and the intake of iodine-containing foods should be reduced in the diet.
It is a normal physiological phenomenon that most parturients will have symptoms of memory loss and unresponsiveness after giving birth. Generally, with the end of maternity leave, take an active part in work and communicate with people more, and this feeling will gradually decrease. But if this symptom lasts for more than half a year, we should consider the possibility of postpartum depression. You can go to the psychiatric department of a regular hospital to see if there is postpartum depression, and you can take antidepressants orally for treatment.
Secondly, changes in hormones in the body, especially changes in sex hormones, or hypothyroidism may also cause this situation. You can also go to the endocrinology department to see if there is any memory loss or slow response caused by endocrine disorders.
Lactation is characterized by neurasthenia, and the most important thing is to improve sleep. After sleep is improved, neurasthenia symptoms will obviously improve normally. Because it is not good to take the children to sleep at night, it is necessary to have other family members to help look after the children and ensure the sleep of lactating women.
In addition, the adjustment of mood is also very important. Don't be too anxious and nervous, don't think too much, and be sure to have a more optimistic and positive attitude, which will improve neurasthenia to some extent. At the same time, develop good living habits and try not to watch mobile phones, TV and play games. Drinking milk and millet porridge in the diet has a calming effect. In addition, it is suggested that lactating women must engage in outdoor sports and get more sunshine, which can also improve neurasthenia.
The main influencing factors of mental retardation and inattention during lactation are as follows.
1, hormones make mom's temperament change greatly. At the beginning of pregnancy, all kinds of hormones in pregnant mothers will change, and their temperament will also change. For example, some people become irritable, others become restless, and changes in mood will make people become dull to things around them.
2, serious lack of sleep. From the third trimester, fetal movement at night and frequent waking up seriously affect sleep, and 700 hours of sleep are sacrificed every year after delivery, so people are in a state of insufficient sleep for a long time. Even normal people, it will lead to the decline of attention, memory and reaction ability during the day. Not to mention the mother who always takes care of the children.
3. Shift the focus of life. After pregnancy, what expectant mothers think most about is things related to the baby. Food, clothes, hobbies and so on, which I used to care about, have become less important. So it's easy to get distracted when doing other things. In addition, when maternal love is rampant, everything can be linked with the baby, which makes it easier to be distracted, ineffective and confused.
Will you really be stupid for three years? Don't be naive!
Some people have had a baby brain for ten years, and some people may not have a baby brain phenomenon at all. When the baby's brain will end varies from person to person. In any case, in the face of the baby's brain, we still have to learn some coping methods in our daily life.
1 to ensure adequate sleep.
Whether during pregnancy or lactation, it is very important for a mother to ensure adequate sleep, especially when a mother sleeps with her baby at night. Sleep fragmentation and poor sleep quality are very serious. Therefore, it is very important to have a half-hour lunch break at noon during the day. It can not only make mother's spirit better, but also give her brain a proper rest.
2, a good memory is not as good as a mobile phone memo
As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as bad writing. In particular, the mother of the baby's brain has a poor memory, so it is necessary to make rational use of bad writing. Of course, the most convenient thing is the mobile phone memo. Every time I suddenly think of something, I can immediately record it in my mobile phone memo. Look at it from time to time every day, so that many things will not be missed. Mom's daily work efficiency will also be greatly improved.
3. Always eat brain-nourishing food.
For diet, whether during pregnancy or lactation, a reasonable nutritional mix is not only the guarantee of baby's development, but also the need of mother's health. Eating more foods rich in linolenic acid, such as walnuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, etc., helps to improve memory. Before, Yun Xin's mother drank a kind of breakfast porridge that was good for her brain. Mothers can refer to it, which is most beneficial to brain development, especially for children, pregnant women and parturients.
Step 4 Exercise moderately
Exercise can not only bring physical strength, but also make people feel happier and more relaxed. During pregnancy, mothers can often go for a walk outdoors, breathe fresh air and relax. During lactation, physical exercise can help mothers recover faster, because dopamine secreted during exercise will make people feel happier. When you are in a good mood and less stressed, your brain naturally works.
How to adjust the brain and inattention during lactation?
(1) diet:
Because of postpartum breastfeeding, the diet must be reasonable, not only to ensure adequate nutrition and energy, but also not to overeat, which is more likely to aggravate edema and insufficient blood. Usually, it is recommended to eat a diet rich in calcium, high iron and high protein, and supplement some special foods or Chinese medicines to supplement qi and blood, including longan, jujube, brown sugar, black sesame and black-bone chicken. Chinese medicines include donkey-hide gelatin, astragalus, angelica, pregnancy, Chuanxiong and Atractylodes macrocephala.
There is a small folk prescription in Chinese medicine called Siwutang, which contains pregnancy, Poria, Atractylodes macrocephala and licorice. You can take one dose every day properly, which has a good effect on invigorating qi and enriching blood.
(2) Daily life:
We should do a good job in health education, keep the living environment ventilated, avoid excessive room temperature, especially in summer, give priority to comfort, which is conducive to heat dissipation and avoid heatstroke. Pay attention to rest and do all the housework at least 3 weeks after delivery. If the milk is insufficient, we should establish confidence in breast-feeding, feed in the right way, feed at night, adjust our diet properly and drink more nutritious broth.
(3) Appropriate activities and postpartum rehabilitation exercises:
Tonifying qi and blood and postpartum exercise are also very important. Those who give birth naturally can move slightly after 6 hours after delivery and walk around indoors at will for 2 days after delivery. Cesarean delivery women can postpone their activities appropriately. Postpartum rehabilitation exercise should be gradual.
