Recently, a bao mother left a message saying that because she did not want to drink rice wine to promote milk during the month, she had an unpleasant quarrel with her mother-in-law, and she did not know whether to insist on it?
It turned out that before being discharged from the hospital, the doctor specially explained that the food of alcohol and brewing was fasted after childbirth. But this mother-in-law's in-laws have a custom that confinement must drink rice wine, saying that it can not only induce milk, but also help to expel lochia.
I believe that many mothers have such doubts, some people say that rice wine can milk, vitality and blood, is conducive to the recovery of the maternal body, and some people say that rice wine does not promote milk, alcohol will affect the baby's intellectual development.
Which statement is true?
Today, let's talk about whether we should drink rice wine during the month.
Topic 1: Can rice wine really induce milk?
Rice wine or rice wine, is a grain wine brewed with rice, the alcohol content is generally about 15 degrees, Guangdong's "Hakka Niangjiu", Jiangsu and Zhejiang's "Yuezi water", etc., is widely spread in the southern part of the mainland milking method.
However, can drinking rice wine really make milk?
The answer is, no!
Scientific studies have found that although new mothers who drink rice wine after childbirth have fuller breasts and look "more milky", they do not milk.
First, we know that the secretion and feeding of milk in the early postpartum period involves two hormones:
Prolactin is responsible for increasing the amount of milk produced;
Oxytocin acts on the smooth muscles of the ducts of the breast, stimulating the contraction of these muscles to produce milk.
Alcohol can promote the secretion of prolactin to a certain extent, making the breasts fuller, which is also believed to be the source of rice wine to promote milk.
But alcohol, in turn, inhibits the secretion of oxytocin, making it difficult to produce milk.
Simply put, it is that the milk is available, but it cannot come out, so that the baby can eat more hard.
Secondly, when the mother and baby establish a good lactation cycle, the influence of prolactin will become smaller, and the amount of milk secreted depends mainly on how much the baby eats.
At this point, the breast is not a passive milk memory, but an active milk generator controlled by the baby.
New mothers drinking rice wine will cause milk taste to change, which may make the baby not like to drink. Drink less, and the amount of milk will decrease.
It can be seen that drinking rice wine only makes the new mother feel or look more milk, but it is not conducive to breastfeeding.
Topic 2: What impact will drinking rice wine during the month affect the baby?
We know that alcohol can be distributed throughout the body with water, so after a woman drinks confinement rice wine, alcohol can enter the milk without any obstacles.
Alcohol metabolism is affected by factors such as alcohol intake, mom's weight, and more.
Studies have proved that a mother who weighs about 50 kg and drinks 150ml of rice wine with an alcohol content of 11% needs to wait for 2 hours and 36 minutes before the blood alcohol content can drop to 0.
By analogy, the more you drink, the longer it takes to metabolize.
In other words, breastfeeding mothers feed for a short period of time after drinking alcohol, which is equivalent to giving the baby alcohol.
The baby's tolerance to alcohol is extremely low, and it is very susceptible to the influence and even harm of alcohol.
If a nursing mother drinks a lot of rice and alcohol for a long time and then breastfeeds, the baby may be "drunk", resulting in hormone imbalance, and even alcoholism, and even death.
Tragic cases of alcoholic mothers who drink heavily and breastfeed after drinking alcohol have been reported in the medical literature, resulting in the death of infants from alcoholism.
Of course, drinking a small amount of rice wine during lactation does not have such serious adverse consequences.
However, the study also found that even if the breastfeeding period is a small amount of alcohol after breastfeeding, the baby will drink a small amount of alcohol by feeding will significantly interfere with the child's sleep, making the child more likely to be awakened, or even irritable.
Topic 3: Is rice wine safe when boiled?
Some people say that confinement rice wine is cooked or boiled before being eaten by pregnant women, so there is no need to worry about alcohol.
Experimental data show that the wine is added to food and boiled,
Continue to boil for 35 minutes and there will be 35% alcohol residue;
Continue to boil for 1.6 hours and there will be 20% alcohol residue;
Continue to boil for 2 hours and there will be 10% alcohol residue;
Continue to boil for 2.6 hours and there will be 5% alcohol residue.
That is to say, unless it continues to boil for more than 3 hours, the effects of alcohol are present!
At the same time, drinking directly during the confinement may cause uterine contractions, resulting in painful wounds.
To sum up, the so-called "milk" of confinement drinking rice wine is actually an illusion.
Even boiled rice wine may still have alcohol residues, and breastfeeding after drinking is equivalent to giving the baby alcohol.
A large amount of food intake in your baby can cause significant health hazards and even death, and even a small amount of alcohol can interfere with sleep.
Therefore, confinement rice wine, even if the mouth is hungry, is recommended to drink less.
