Question
After a cesarean section, I had a surgical procedure for adhesive intestinal obstruction. Why can’t I breastfeed my child?
Answer
Due to the use of hormones and other medications during the surgical procedure, I have been hesitant to breastfeed the baby. It is important to pay attention to the child’s diet, avoiding overeating which can lead to food accumulation, damage to the spleen and stomach, and trigger diseases. A balanced diet is crucial for the healthy growth of the child, and it should be chosen to meet the body’s growth needs while avoiding eating frequently. When the child cannot eat, it is easy to cause digestive system disorders. It is recommended to develop a habit of eating on time and avoid picky eating and randomly selecting food. Additionally, children should avoid overly salty foods, as their kidneys are not fully developed and cannot clear excessive sodium from the blood, which can cause harm. It is also important to avoid eating snacks frequently, as this can increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and lead to indigestion.
