Peanut water promotes lactation

Peanuts are a kind of inexpensive and high-quality nut food. Every family should have some peanuts in case of emergency. For people who are iron deficient, they can eat more peanuts, because peanuts help replenish the blood and iron in the human body. For postpartum women, peanuts can also help stimulate lactation. Not only can you drink soup made from peanuts, you can also drink peanut water made from edible peanuts. So what is the correct way to make peanut water to stimulate lactation?

1. About 30 peanuts, use raw red-skinned peanuts, soak them in hot water and you can peel them easily; a small piece of white fungus, soak it until soft and wash it; a bag of milk, an appropriate amount of rock sugar; 2 teaspoons of oatmeal, you can add more white fungus and oatmeal as you like.

2. Get a blender, put in peeled peanut kernels, soaked and washed white fungus, oatmeal, then pour in 225 ml of water, which is the amount of a bag of milk, and then beat it into milky white peanut juice. No need to filter it. If you want a more delicate taste, you can filter it once. The filtered peanut paste can be added when cooking porridge.

3. Take a soup pot, pour the peanut juice in the blender into it, heat over medium-low heat, boil the peanut juice, add rock sugar and cook for a while, finally add a bag of milk, stir well and turn off the heat. Pour it into a beautiful cup and drink it, it's delicious. It's about the amount of two bags of milk, and you can adjust the amount according to your needs.

4. Peanut protein is rich in 8 essential amino acids for the human body. Peanut milk does not contain cholesterol, but is high in linoleic acid and arachidonic acid. Regular consumption has a good effect on promoting development and maintaining health. Therefore, peanuts were known as "longevity nuts" in ancient China. Peanuts contain a high level of lecithin. Lecithin plays an important role in transporting oxygen in the human body's metabolism and is a highly efficient nutritional product. This enhances the nutritional function of peanut milk.

Methods of breastfeeding

1. Strengthen the baby's sucking. Experiments have shown that after the baby feeds, the prolactin in the mother's blood will increase exponentially. This is because the baby sucking the nipple can promote the mother's pituitary gland to secrete prolactin, thereby increasing milk secretion.

2. Avoid taking medicine. During breastfeeding, mothers should not take any medicine randomly. Some drugs and foods can affect the secretion of breast milk, such as anti-thyroid drugs, hawthorn, etc. If you are sick, it is best to take medicine under the doctor's orders.

3. Supplement nutrition. All the nutrients in breast milk come from the mother's body. If the mother is in a state of malnutrition for a long time, it will naturally affect the normal milk secretion. During the breastfeeding period, you can choose foods with high nutritional value, such as milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc. At the same time, prepare more soup, which can catalyze the secretion of milk.

4. Maintain a good mood. After giving birth, mothers experience greater mood swings due to physiological and environmental factors, and often become depressed, which can restrict breast milk secretion. Medical experiments have shown that when a mother is depressed, her milk secretion will decrease sharply. Therefore, mothers should adjust their mentality and stay cheerful and optimistic. Family members should also create a good living environment and pay more attention to the mother's mental health.

5. Diet therapy. On the basis of taking the above measures, combined with lactation-promoting foods, the effect will be more obvious. Foods such as pig's trotters and peanuts can promote the secretion of milk.
