Can I eat peppers when I am one month old?

We all know that the confinement period is a special period for new mothers. In order to help postpartum recovery, special attention should be paid to diet during the confinement period. Many things cannot be eaten, such as spicy or cold foods, which are very detrimental to uterine recovery and milk secretion. Therefore, the diet during the confinement period is light and low in salt. So, can you eat chili peppers after the full moon?

Can I eat chili peppers after I leave the confinement period?

1. It takes a certain amount of time for the body to recover after childbirth. You need to pay attention to your diet during breastfeeding. You cannot eat spicy and irritating foods. It is not recommended to eat them if you are not breastfeeding. Generally, you can drink alcohol and beverages after 6 months. Beverages, alcohol, and raw and cold foods are all irritating to the gastrointestinal tract.

2. If the baby is completely fed with milk powder, he can eat chili peppers at this time, but if he is still in the breastfeeding stage, he cannot eat chili peppers.

Dietary taboos during breastfeeding

1. Foods that hinder milk secretion, such as meat: rabbit meat, squid, duck meat, pig heart, frog meat, etc. Vegetables: chili, pepper, raw garlic, fennel, leek, purslane, winter melon, cucumber, melon, bitter melon, malt, ginseng, etc. will inhibit milk secretion.

2. Too irritating food. After giving birth, it is suitable for mothers to eat light, less irritating or non-irritating food. They should avoid taking some highly irritating foods, such as chili peppers, tobacco, alcohol, coffee and spicy condiments.

3. High-fat, fried foods. These foods are not easy to digest and are high in calories. They are not conducive to postpartum recovery or ensuring breast milk quality. They should be consumed in moderation.

4. Foods that are prone to allergies. Some babies will have allergic symptoms. Breastfeeding mothers should pay more attention to whether the baby’s skin has rashes, etc., and consider their own diet to find out the cause of the baby’s skin allergies. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers should avoid eating foods that may cause allergies in their babies.

5. Cigarettes. Smoking during breastfeeding will cause the nicotine in cigarettes to quickly appear in breast milk and be absorbed by the baby. Studies have shown that nicotine can damage the baby's respiratory tract. Therefore, for the health of the baby, breastfeeding mothers must quit smoking and prevent the harm of secondhand smoke to the baby.

6. Medicines. Although some medicines taken by breastfeeding women will not have much effect on the baby, new mothers should consult relevant doctors before taking the medicines, or explain the breastfeeding situation to the doctor when going to the hospital for treatment, so that the doctor can prescribe appropriate medicines.

Coming out of the confinement period means that a woman has completed the entire process of nurturing a fetus, but for women who are still breastfeeding, it is far from over, so they need to eat more nutrients that can promote milk secretion, and stay away from drugs, tobacco, alcohol and spicy foods to avoid adverse effects on the baby.
