Patient's question:
Postpartum, it has been two and a half months since the baby was born. It was a cesarean section, and I am exclusively breastfeeding. Sometimes the baby has diarrhea. Everyone says that the mother should not eat cold things, avoid certain foods, and should not eat persimmons. Can breastfeeding mothers drink ordinary warm water?Doctor's answer:
Mothers who breastfeed are best not to drink lukewarm water. When the baby is small, avoid drinking cold boiled water, as it can easily cause the baby to have diarrhea. Pay attention to hygiene habits, eat more fruits and vegetables, pay attention to a balanced diet, get enough rest, avoid staying up late, and maintain a positive mood. It is definitely necessary to drink more water, as most of breast milk is water. If you don't drink enough water, breastfeeding women may lack hydration, and it is best not to drink cold water.
