Attention issues for two-month-old children

A two-month-old baby's physical condition is relatively fragile and prone to illness. In order to take better care of the baby's body, what issues should mothers pay attention to? In order to make the two-month-old baby grow more healthily and improve the body's immunity, mothers should also pay attention to their eating habits and living habits. Because babies need more nutrients when they are two months old, let’s take a look at it together.

1. Confirm the calories needed in a day. The calories needed after delivery are about 2500 calories a day for exclusive breastfeeding and 1800 calories a day for milk feeding. If it is a mixed feeding, the required calories should be determined according to the milk secretion. A new mother with insufficient milk production will of course consume too many calories if she eats the same amount as someone who is exclusively breastfeeding.

2. The basic principle is to focus on quality rather than quantity. For those who don’t know much about calories or nutritional requirements, the general principle is to control food intake and improve quality. The key is to eat all kinds of food.

3. Strictly control fat intake During pregnancy, the mother stores 3kg of fat in preparation for lactation. Therefore, you should not eat any oily food after giving birth, otherwise the milk will become sticky and the mammary glands will easily become blocked. Use less oil when cooking.

Pregnant women should not eat too much food and eat some potato food appropriately

Light food with coarse grains After eating a lot of meat and fish for a few days, you must be tired of it. At this time, you should eat more light food to let your stomach and intestines slowly return to normal. Doctor Li suggested that the staple food for these two days should be mainly whole grains, and corn, oats and other ingredients can be added in appropriate amounts. Attention should be paid to increasing the proportion of dark or green vegetables. At the same time, drink more porridge and soup, such as fresh green leafy vegetables, millet porridge, noodle soup, dumpling soup, etc., especially with some pickles. These soups have a good "heat-clearing" effect, allowing your "overburdened" gastrointestinal tract to rest and adjust.

Eating only whole grains will make you feel hungry, so it is better to eat something delicious and digestible. As the saying goes, nothing tastes better than dumplings. The dumpling skin made from wheat flour is rich in fiber, and the filling contains a variety of vegetables. Shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, leeks, onions, cabbage, cabbage, carrots, winter melon, pumpkin, green peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, green beans, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, rapeseed, celery, fennel, etc. are all fresh vegetables nowadays. In addition, when cooking methods such as steaming and boiling are used, there is naturally no need to worry about oil. It really kills two birds with one stone. During the holidays, every meal is greasy, so most people will have too high a fat intake. Going to work and live after the holidays in such a physical state will undoubtedly have an adverse effect on work and health. Doctor Li said that before the holidays, you must pay attention to adjusting your diet structure and returning to a normal diet. Eating a large amount of meat for several days in a row will overload the gastrointestinal tract and can easily cause hyperlipidemia, which in turn can lead to coronary heart disease and cerebral arteriosclerosis. Therefore, during these two days, you should reduce the intake of refined rice, noodles, candy, and sweet cakes to avoid excessive calorie intake. At the same time, it is time to stop drinking after drinking for many days. Drinking heavy drinks for many days can easily lead to alcohol poisoning, and even mild alcohol poisoning can damage the liver, so it is best to stop drinking immediately. The most important thing is to force yourself to drink more water, especially boiled water. This can speed up gastrointestinal metabolism and reduce the harm of large amounts of meat and alcohol to the liver. If you think boiled water is too white and tasteless, drinking tea can also clear the grease in the gastrointestinal tract and restore the gastrointestinal tract to normal levels as soon as possible.

4. Try to eat less snacks and instant noodles. Sweets and instant noodles will all be converted into fat once eaten into the body. Moreover, too many snacks will disrupt the balance of the entire diet. In addition, you should also pay more attention to the additives in instant noodles.

Eat fruits to balance digestion. The delicacies we eat during festivals are either fried or desserts. Eating too much will naturally make your stomach suffer. Fried foods can easily cause heat stagnation in the spleen and stomach, leading to constipation or bloating; eating too many desserts can also lead to spleen deficiency and dampness, causing stagnation of dampness and triggering diarrhea. Doctor Li suggests that fruit is quite effective in adjusting the unbalanced digestive function during the holidays.

Orange juice and papaya can adjust the digestive function very well. They both have the effect of removing heat stagnation. You may as well drink a few more glasses of orange juice or eat papaya in the next two days. However, you must drink it 1-2 hours after a meal. Otherwise, drinking it immediately after a meal will only increase the burden on the stomach. In addition, Wuhua tea can also remove heat stagnation. If you think the herbal tea sold outside is too sweet, you might as well buy some honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, and kapok flowers, add some candied dates and boil them in water. It is not only sweet and delicious, but also can balance the digestive function.

Eating too much sweets can easily cause symptoms such as chest tightness, diarrhea, sluggish appetite, cold hands and feet, and the tongue coating may also turn white. Therefore, timely adjustments should be made in the next two days. Eating more apples and guavas can slowly alleviate these symptoms. Eating a proper amount of guava or drinking half a cup of guava juice can effectively control diarrhea, and eating apples with the skin also has an antidiarrheal effect. If you find yourself in the above situation, you might as well eat more of these two fruits to balance your gastrointestinal function.

5. Cooked vegetables are better than raw ones. Vitamins will be transferred to the baby through breast milk during the lactation period, and are also indispensable nutrients for the mother herself. Therefore, vegetables rich in vitamins need to be eaten every day. Stir-fried or boiled vegetables are better than raw ones, especially for enhancing the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A and D.

After reading the introduction in the above article, we know that a two-month-old child needs very rich nutrition. Babies need to pay attention not only to absorbing the nutrients in breast milk, but also to absorbing the rich vitamins. Mothers should also pay attention to their daily life and eat more vegetables to supplement vitamins, iron and other nutrients. I hope the above is helpful to you.
