Patient's question:
I store breast milk in my home refrigerator, which also contains my family's vegetables and food. When the child needs to eat, it can be boiled and then consumed. Does boiling cause the loss of nutrients?Doctor's answer:
Mothers who have been pregnant for ten months and have stored nutrients in their bodies have accumulated a large amount of calories and fat. Breastfeeding helps the mother release extra calories, accelerates metabolism, and achieves weight loss without dieting. The order of weight loss is abdomen, legs, arms, and face. Breastfeeding can burn an additional 500 calories per day, and each feeding is equivalent to the calorie expenditure of running 2 kilometers. Half of these calories come from food, and the other half comes from the fat accumulated in the thighs and arms during pregnancy.
