In the hot summer, if you can take a big bite of ice cream, it will definitely take away the sweltering heat from your body and make you feel relaxed physically and mentally! However, for mothers who give birth to babies in the summer, whether they can eat ice cream during confinement has become a question. Can mothers eat ice cream during confinement?
During the confinement period, you cannot eat ice cream. Because the mother's gastrointestinal function is relatively weak during confinement, eating cold and raw foods such as ice cream can easily cause the gastrointestinal blood vessels to suddenly contract, reduce gastric juice secretion, and reduce digestive function, resulting in abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms.
Moreover, the respiratory mucosa of a mother who has just given birth to a baby is often congested and accompanied by edema. If she eats raw and cold food such as ice cream, it will cause the originally congested blood vessels to suddenly shrink and reduce blood, which can reduce local resistance and easily cause Bacterial and viral infections can cause sore throat, cough, headache and other symptoms. In severe cases, it can cause upper respiratory tract infection or induce tonsillitis .
If you are a mother who needs to breastfeed, eating ice cream will not only easily affect yourself, but also affect your baby's health. Because the mother's dietary nutrition will directly affect the quality of breast milk and affect the baby's nutrient absorption. If the mother eats ice cream and other raw and cold food and immediately breastfeeds, the baby with weak immunity will have difficulty adapting to the changes in breast milk and will easily develop diarrhea. If a mother accidentally eats ice cream and other raw or cold food, she should wait two hours after eating and if there is no obvious discomfort before breastfeeding.
During the confinement period, it is very troublesome for a mother to get sick, especially for mothers who need to breastfeed. It can also easily affect the health of the baby, so it is recommended not to eat raw or cold food such as ice cream!
