Can I do manicure while breastfeeding?

Many women who love beauty will do manicures in their spare time, which will increase their self-confidence. Girls who are obsessed with manicures will never give up manicures at any time, such as when they are breastfeeding. However, nail polish contains many harmful substances, which may be harmful to the body. And if you do manicures, when you feed your child, the harmful substances may harm the child's body through the child's mouth. So, can you do manicure during breastfeeding?

1. If you want to do a manicure occasionally during breastfeeding, it is not impossible. The unhealthy substances in nail polish are absorbed into the body through the nail surface or skin at very limited rates. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to occasionally paint your nails to make them more beautiful on special holidays.

2. However, breastfeeding mothers are usually very busy taking care of their babies, and they also have to do a lot of washing. It’s a pity that after a lot of effort to get a manicure, it’s ruined within a few days.

3. In addition, some babies will bite their mothers while breastfeeding. If the mother uses her fingers painted with nail polish to insert into the baby's mouth to stop the baby, it may be a bit worrying.

Dietary considerations during breastfeeding

1. Eat a balanced diet

The diet of breastfeeding women should be balanced. They should not be picky eaters. Eating coarse grains, fine grains, meat and vegetables, fruits, and vegetables can effectively improve the quality of breast milk.

2. Eat less stimulating food

Breastfeeding mothers should try to eat less or no irritating food, because irritating food will enter the baby's body through breast milk and seriously affect the baby's healthy growth.

3. Don’t eat too much chocolate

Breastfeeding women should not eat too much chocolate because chocolate contains theobromine, which will accumulate in the baby's body through breast milk. Theobroma acid can damage the heart and nervous system, relax the baby's muscles, increase urine output, cause unstable sleep, crying, indigestion, and eating too much chocolate can affect the appetite of new mothers.

4. Do not drink too much malted milk

The malt in malted milk may inhibit the mammary gland from secreting milk, thereby reducing the amount of milk, which will inevitably affect the health of the baby.

5. Eat some hawthorn

During the confinement period, mothers can eat some hawthorn or hawthorn-like foods. Hawthorn is beneficial to the contraction of the uterus and the discharge of lochia in postpartum women, and is helpful for the recovery of the mother's physical health.
