What to do if you are grumpy during breastfeeding

If you become irritable during breastfeeding, you must be vigilant at this time, especially to prevent postpartum depression. We know that postpartum depression has received more and more attention in recent years. Some women will inexplicably lose control of their emotions, become depressed and irritable, etc. after giving birth. In fact, this is not due to the woman’s own personality, but the cause of postpartum depression. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

Why does postpartum depression occur?

Postpartum depression is becoming more and more common as people’s life stress levels increase. In addition to facing heavy work, women also need to spend more time taking care of their babies. They have very little time to rest. Some new mothers even suffer from long-term insomnia.

New mothers who lack sleep for a long time will feel very tired. Faced with the depression and tension brought by work and life, if they do not relieve these pressures in time, they may suffer from postpartum depression. Postpartum depression also brings with it feelings of loneliness. Postpartum depression may also lead to other adverse consequences.

What to do if you are grumpy during breastfeeding

1. Ask your family to share the burden. It is indeed very tiring for a woman to raise a child alone. If women want to relax a little, they need to know how to let their family help them take care of their children. For example, let your husband learn to change diapers for the baby and ask him to help make milk powder for the baby. These are things that they can do. The interaction between parents and children should include father, mother and other relatives in the family, so it is better for multiple people to take care of the children together.

2. Find a confinement nanny. If there is no one to take care of you or your baby during the confinement period, many new mothers may collapse. Many women are also powerless. In the face of all kinds of problems, you still need to find a more reliable confinement nanny to help take care of your life. The confinement nanny has strong skills in taking care of children and is more experienced in nutritional matching. Therefore, in order to avoid the mother's worries, it is still necessary to spend some money to hire a confinement nanny to help.

3. Find friends to chat with. Chatting and expressing your inner feelings is a good way to relieve stress. If new mothers want to prevent postpartum depression, they can choose to communicate and chat more with their relatives or friends after giving birth. Talking to them about their thoughts and worries will naturally make them more cheerful and less stressed. It is especially recommended that new mothers find some new mothers so that they can communicate more and have more common language with each other.

4. Exercise. Exercise is the best way to relieve stress. The deformed body shape after childbirth and the heavy task of taking care of the baby make many new mothers exhausted and breathless. While taking care of your child, you should also pay attention to your own exercise. Exercise not only helps you lose weight, but also helps relieve stress. Mothers can choose gentler exercises, such as walking or doing yoga, which can improve their mentality.

5. Healthy eating arrangements. A healthy diet is directly related to the physical and mental health recovery of the mother. It is recommended that new mothers eat more nutritious and light foods and less greasy foods, such as eating more fruits. Live a healthy life, eat healthy, and your mood will improve.
