Drinking tea during lactation has some advantages for Mabao, but it also has some potential disadvantages. Here are some relevant information:
Benefits:
1. Provide nutrition: Tea contains many vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, folic acid, calcium and iron. Drinking tea in moderation can provide certain nutrition for Ma Bao.
2. Promote digestion: Caffeine and tannic acid in tea can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and relieve constipation. This is especially important for lactating mothers because they may face constipation.
3. Improve your attention and alertness: Caffeine in tea can refresh your mind and improve your attention and alertness. This may help Ma Bao cope with the need to take care of babies.
Disadvantages:
1. Excessive caffeine intake: Caffeine in tea can be passed on to the baby through breast milk. Excessive intake of caffeine may lead to baby's excitement, decreased sleep quality or anxiety. Therefore, it is suggested that Ma Bao limit the daily intake of caffeine.
2. Affect milk production: Some tea leaves, such as green tea and oolong tea, are considered to have the effect of inhibiting milk secretion. Although this effect is not obvious, if you find that milk is reduced after drinking tea, you can consider reducing your intake or choosing other types of tea.
3. Drug interaction: Some chemicals in tea may interact with some drugs, affecting the absorption and action of drugs. If you are taking any medicine, please ask your doctor or pharmacist if you can have tea at the same time.
To sum up, it is ok for Ma Bao to drink tea in moderation during lactation, but attention should be paid to caffeine intake and the appropriate tea type should be selected. In case of doubt or special circumstances, please consult a doctor.
