Maternal lactation-stimulating soup makes me gain weight even though she doesn’t produce milk. Are these lactation-stimulating recipes reliable?

In order to solve the doubts that thousands of new mothers have about \”lactation-stimulating soup\”, we will talk about this topic together today. What is lactation soup? \”Lactation-stimulating soup\” is a kind of soup with Chinese characteristics. It is mainly used by mothers during the confinement period one month after giving birth (actually the puerperium period) to ensure an increase in lactation. It is made by drinking various livestock, poultry, etc. slowly. Soup obtained after n hours. Different regions have different interpretations of lactation-stimulating soup based on the regional characteristics of the place. For example, in Northeast China, they mainly eat pork knuckles stewed with soybeans, in North China, they mainly eat sesame oil chicken, while in Central China, you need to drink rooster soup during the confinement period, and in some areas of South China, the custom is Is drinking hen soup. No matter which region it is from, whether it is pig trotter soup, chicken soup or bone soup, the soup is thick and white and the soup is milky white. So, do these lactation-stimulating soups, which are full of expectations for lactation, really have a magical lactation-stimulating effect? Does lactation soup really induce lactation? The elderly at home are excited to see the milky white milk-stimulating soup that they have made by themselves, and then look at you with eager eyes to drink it. You will be embarrassed if your milk does not increase. But when you know the truth about lactation soup, you may shed tears! The milky white color of lactation soup is actually due to the emulsification effect of fat and protein in cooked chicken, pig trotters, bones and other substances. Except for a small amount of soluble peptides and amino acids, the milky white soup contains very few nutrients. Moreover, such soup contains a large amount of saturated fat, purine and cholesterol. These substances can make people quickly gain weight in a short period of time and make it difficult to lose weight later. The lactation soup does not induce lactation, but it has a miraculous effect on gaining weight. It feels so sour and refreshing to touch the belly and elephant legs of your swimming ring. Whether at home or abroad, there is a lack of research on the safety of lactation soup during lactation, so it is not recommended for pregnant women to try it at will. Some new mothers may feel that their breasts are swollen after drinking lactation soup. This is because the broth contains a lot of water. The most basic component of breast milk is water. Only if the mother drinks enough liquid can the lactation needs be met. Therefore, you can drink more water (including some light soups) and eat more lean meats rich in protein after delivery, but heavy fat soup is not necessary ~ You know, the so-called lactation soup, a bowl A bowl filled with fat will not only fail to promote lactation, but will also easily block milk. Of course, the most direct effect is to gain weight! I feel sorry for Xiao Wang for a second~ Is the secret recipe for promoting lactation effective? (1) Confinement wine is a popular custom in the south, especially in Taiwan and other regions, to induce lactation. But confinement water, rice wine, rice wine, etc. are not helpful in promoting lactation. Alcohol itself is a diuretic and will increase the loss of water in the body; alcohol will inhibit the secretion of oxytocin, leading to a decrease in breast milk production; it will also change the taste of breast milk, allowing the baby to reduce the amount of milk he consumes. The result is: Rice wine laced with milk is pure nonsense! Not only that, if the mother drinks rice wine containing alcohol and breastfeeds immediately, the alcohol will enter the baby\’s body through the milk and become the real thing – alcoholic milk!!! Any wine contains alcohol, and the residue will still be there even if it is boiled. Experimental results show that after 2-3 hours of stewing or slow roasting, the alcohol residual rate is 5-10%. If you just boil an egg or something, 15 minutes at most, right? That alcohol residue is as high as 40%. If the mother breastfeeds immediately after eating alcoholic food, the baby\’s ingestion of alcohol-containing breast milk will affect the baby\’s sleep in the short term (restlessness, abnormal excitement, drowsiness, milk refusal, etc.), and in the long term will also affect the baby\’s physical fitness and movement. Development is delayed and harmful to health. (Those who say that babies don’t sleep well every day, wonder if they drank alcoholic milk?) (2) There is a widely circulated saying that eating pangolins induces lactation. I really feel sorry for the poor pangolins. Is it because It can make holes, so it has the effect of \”opening up\” and can stimulate lactation? ! First of all, pangolins really have no lactation-stimulating effect, and they are nationally protected animals. It is illegal to eat them! (3) Traditional Chinese medicine to stimulate lactation. Traditional Chinese medicine to stimulate lactation is also unreliable! You must know that medicines are three-part poisons. There is currently no research showing that certain Chinese medicines have the effect of promoting lactation. It\’s more of a psychological comfort. If you don\’t eat well, it can easily affect your health. When you actually produce milk after eating, it is also the bowls of liquid (moisture) that play a role. (4) Lactation accelerator: The profession of lactation accelerator charges very high fees, and there are very few people with real professional skills. It is recommended that you do not try it lightly. It is okay for mothers to give their breasts gentle massage, which can indeed help relieve discomfort and promote milk flow. But it’s best to stay away from those so-called lactation massages that make mothers bite their tongues in pain! If you do encounter problems with breastfeeding, it is recommended that you find an internationally certified lactation consultant and listen to their advice, which may be more helpful. (5) Weird folk prescriptions There are also various weird folk prescriptions for promoting lactation, which are really \”live for a long time\”. What about eating the placenta, swallowing earthworms alive, eating loaches, and even eating rat droppings to induce lactation? Exaggerating the lactation-enhancing folk remedies, making Nao Dao G unable to close his legs and mouth… Babies who have not been \”disastered\” by lactation-inducing folk remedies. Moms, don’t you think you are very lucky! In fact, many folk remedies for promoting lactation are based on hearsay and have no theoretical basis. You must not believe them easily. Only by truly understanding the lactation principle of breasts can we use scientific methods to make breasts produce milk well. Key factors for lactation The key factors for lactation are: milk-producing hormones (oxytocin, prolactin), mother\’s breast tissue, mother\’s emotion of love and the baby\’s frequent sucking. If there is still milk in the breast, it will inhibit lactation, and emptying the breast will promote milk secretion. The more your baby sucks, the more milk will be produced. Fully emptying the breasts will effectively stimulate the secretion of prolactin and produce more milk. Now you know how unreliable those lactation-enhancing soups, confinement wine, and various lactation-enhancing home remedies are. They have nothing to do with breast lactation, so you dare to claim that you are lactating. It is really another mudslide in the bragging world~ Really The effective lactation method is to breastfeed your baby within one hour after delivery. Breastfeeding as early as possible can stimulate lactation and help the baby quickly learn how to feed; the most direct, correct and effective way to induce lactation is to feed more often. The more often the baby feeds, the better the mother\’s milk production will be; the more appropriate mothers Replenish water. Most of the ingredients in breast milk are water. If the mother does not take in enough water, it willAffect the amount of lactation; work and rest regularly, pay attention to rest, lack of sleep is not only harmful to the body, but also conducive to the secretion of breast milk. Moms should try to ensure more than 8 hours of sleep every day to avoid excessive fatigue; maintain balanced nutrition, nutrition is the basis of lactation. Food diversity is the basis for adequate nutrition. Various nutrients in milk come from the mother\’s body. If the mother is malnourished, it will naturally affect the quality and quantity of milk secretion. Relax and be happy. Research shows that poor mood or depression during lactation will sharply reduce milk secretion. . A happy mood is very important for breastfeeding mothers. Although it is difficult for most people to do this after giving birth, mothers still need to adjust their mood compared to the impact of lack of milk on the baby. Put aside your ignorant dad and your seven aunts and eight aunts, and think about things that make you happy if you have nothing to do. Chat with the other moms in the group, and don’t forget that Si Yan’er (Dunzi), your little assistant, the Queen Mother, and the fairy’s friend Daduo G are there to accompany you~
