If your baby has watery stools after drinking breast milk, be careful that he has eaten these things

Although many women have paid close attention to their eating habits during breastfeeding, they still find that their babies have watery stools after drinking their breast milk. This is mainly because breast milk is too cold. For example, if the mother has eaten too many fruits such as watermelon, kiwi, dragon fruit, and banana, which are easy to cause diarrhea and laxative and intestinal moisturizing fruits, and has the habit of drinking cold water frequently, this reaction may occur.

Things you can't eat during breastfeeding

Mothers who are breastfeeding should avoid overeating for the sake of their baby's and their own health. There are many types of things that cannot be eaten during breastfeeding, but don’t be bothered by it in your daily life and give more consideration to your diet.

1. Spicy foods and caffeine : Onions, garlic and other spicy foods should be avoided because these foods will change the taste and acidity of the milk after being absorbed by the mother's digestive system, and can cause diarrhea or bloating in the baby.

2. Foods that only contain calories : Try not to replace a reasonable diet with greasy or sweet foods, such as fried potato chips, candy and cakes. Because these foods are usually high in calories but lack nutrition, they can only provide short-term energy and have a great impact on the quality of milk. Moreover, fried foods are difficult to digest. Mothers who have just given birth have weak digestive abilities, so eating fried foods is not conducive to their recovery.

3. Stimulating food : The stimulating food that the mother eats during breastfeeding will enter the baby's body through breast milk and affect the baby's health. But you can eat a small amount of condiments, such as pepper, vinegar, etc.

4. 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 and unstable sleep in babies. If mother eats too much chocolate, it will affect her appetite and make her fat.

5. Pickled fish and meat : The average daily salt intake for adults is 4.5-9 grams. According to your usual habits, do not avoid salt, but also do not eat too salty food. If mothers eat too much salt, it will increase the burden on the kidneys, which is not good for the kidneys and will also increase blood pressure.

6. Eating too much MSG : Eating MSG has a serious impact on the baby's development, especially for babies under 12 weeks old. It will cause adverse consequences such as intellectual impairment, growth retardation, etc. It is best for mothers not to eat MSG during breastfeeding, and never be greedy for freshness and eat MSG at every meal.

7. Medicines and alcohol : After medicines and alcohol enter the blood, they can enter the baby's body through breast milk. Therefore, you should pay attention to the contraindications of the medicine and avoid drinking alcohol.

8. Fruits that cannot be eaten : (1) Cool fruits: Most fruits in summer are cool fruits, such as cantaloupe, watermelon, melon, pear, kiwi, mango, and grapefruit. If a breastfeeding mother consumes excessive amounts of cool fruits such as watermelon, it can easily cause diarrhea in the baby. There are also fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, and tangerines that are rich in vitamin C, but these fruits are irritating and may cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, rash, and runny nose in babies. (2) Chilled fruits: Especially in summer, many people like to put fruits in the refrigerator to chill them before taking them out. This is a taboo for breastfeeding mothers. Eating too much of this kind of fruit will not only cause diarrhea to the mother, but also to the baby. The best way is to leave the fruit out of the refrigerator at room temperature for half an hour before eating.
