I feel hungry quickly during breastfeeding.

When we are very hungry, we will want to eat, but most people don’t want to get hungry quickly. After all, eating more means a greater chance of gaining weight. We all know that mothers must supplement enough nutrition during breastfeeding, because the baby's nutrition also depends on the mother, so for breastfeeding women, they cannot lose weight or diet. So what should you do if you feel hungry during breastfeeding?

This is normal. Generally, breastfeeding mothers get hungry quickly and have a large appetite. Now you are breastfeeding, and eating well and being full will allow you to produce more milk for your baby.

The lactation period refers to the period after childbirth when a mother feeds her baby with her own breast milk, which is the period from the beginning of breastfeeding to the cessation of breastfeeding, usually lasting about 10 months to 1 year.

Article 9 of the Special Provisions on Labor Protection for Female Employees stipulates that employers shall not extend working hours or arrange night shifts for female employees who are breastfeeding infants under one year old. The employer shall arrange one hour of breastfeeding time for female employees during their breastfeeding period during the daily working hours. If a female employee gives birth to multiple babies, the employer shall increase the breastfeeding time by one hour for each additional baby.

In order to protect the health of mothers and infants and reduce infant mortality, the international community has made protecting, promoting and supporting maternal and infant feeding an important part of maternal and child health work. Lactation care is to guide breastfeeding and lactation hygiene, including breast milk secretion, factors affecting milk secretion, feeding methods and breast care, breastfeeding mothers' diet, rest, sleep, weaning, etc.

Lactation is an important stage in the growth and development of mammals. For example: the lactation period of a lion is three months; the lactation period of a dog is 30 to 45 days; the lactation period of a female rabbit is generally 30 to 40 days. The composition of mammalian milk is complex. Species, diet, season, age, parity, lactation period and individual characteristics can all affect the composition of milk.

1. Malted milk

Because the malt in malted milk will inhibit the mammary gland from secreting milk, reducing milk production, which is not good for the baby's health.

2. Spicy and irritating food

Breastfeeding mothers should try to eat less irritating foods, such as leeks, garlic sprouts, chili peppers, pepper, fennel, and wine. Irritating foods can not only easily damage body fluids, consume qi and blood, aggravate qi and blood deficiency, and cause constipation, but also easily enter the baby's body through breast milk and affect the baby's health. However, a small amount of condiments, such as pepper, vinegar, etc., are still acceptable.

3. Fried foods and high-fat foods

This type of food is not easy to digest. Breastfeeding mothers have weak digestive ability, and the nutrients in fried food have been lost a lot during the frying process. Eating it during breastfeeding is not good for postpartum recovery.

4. Foods such as leeks, malt water, ginseng, etc.
