New moms are paying more and more attention to breastfeeding, and the role of breastfeeding is gaining popularity, but if the following seven situations occur, stop breastfeeding immediately, otherwise it will be harmful and not beneficial to the baby. Let s take a look at the seven situations Right?

Breastfeeding is the method of feeding a baby with mother's milk. Studies have shown that breast-fed infants develop healthier. But if you insist on breastfeeding, your mother's body must be healthy. If the following conditions occur, the mother should temporarily or completely stop breastfeeding.

1. When suffering from infectious diseases

Mothers cannot breastfeed when they have a severe infectious disease to prevent transmission to the baby. If the mother has hepatitis or lung disease, she must stop breastfeeding.

2.During medication

When the mother is sick (such as a cold, fever, etc.) and has to take medication, she should stop breastfeeding and wait until the illness is stopped before feeding. However, care should be taken to squeeze out the milk according to the feeding time every day to ensure that lactation is more than 3 times a day. Don't feed the baby's milk out again, so as to avoid the harmful effects of the medicines in it.

3. When suffering from a wasting disease

If you have a heart disease, kidney disease, or diabetes, you can decide whether you can breastfeed based on your doctor's diagnosis. Under normal circumstances, mothers who have the above-mentioned diseases but are able to give birth can breastfeed, but pay attention to nutrition and rest, and appropriately shorten the period of breastfeeding according to physical conditions.

4.When suffering from severe nipple palate and mastitis

When the mother suffers from severe nipple cleft palate and mastitis, her breastfeeding should be suspended and treated promptly to avoid aggravating the condition. But you can squeeze breast milk to feed your baby.

5, for radioactive iodine treatment

Because iodine can enter the milk and damage the baby's thyroid function, you should temporarily stop breastfeeding. After the treatment period is over, check the level of radioactive substances in the milk and continue breastfeeding when it is normal.

6, exposure to toxic chemicals or pesticides

Harmful substances can poison babies through milk, so avoid contact with harmful substances and stay away from harmful environments during breastfeeding. If you have contact, you must stop breastfeeding.

7, after exercise

During exercise, lactic acid is produced in the body. The lactic acid stays in the blood and it will make milk taste bad. According to tests, this phenomenon can occur in general moderate-intensity exercise. Therefore, mothers who are responsible for breastfeeding should only engage in some "mild" exercises. After the exercise, take a break before feeding.

Insufficient breast milk or insufficient milk can be supplemented with rice flour to feed the baby. But some parents are only feeding infants with rice flour, which is not appropriate.

Rice noodles, as their name implies, are foods made with rice as the main ingredient. Among the ingredients: 79% are carbohydrates, 5.6% are protein, and 5.1% are fats and B vitamins. In the growth stage, infants need protein most. The protein contained in rice noodles is not only of poor quality but also low in content, which cannot meet the needs of infant growth and development.

If only rice flour is used instead of milk, protein deficiency will occur. Specific manifestations are: delayed growth and development, affecting infants' nervous system, blood system and muscle growth, and low resistance, insufficient immunoglobulin, and easy to get sick. Babies who have been fed with rice noodles for a long time have a slow growth in height, but they do not necessarily lose weight. Instead, they are white and fat. The skin is filled with fat that is converted into too much sugar by the intake of sugar. But these children are strong and dry, often suffer from anemia, rickets, and are susceptible to diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia.

For some parents, it is even more inappropriate to add rice flour during the newborn period. Pancreatic amylase does not reach adult levels until about 4 months, so infants within 3 months should not add rice flour. After 3 months, some rice noodles should be fed properly, but rice noodles should not be used for feeding. Even if mixed with milk, milk should be used as the main supplement.
