Recently, a new mother asked what would happen if a baby eats fire milk? The reason for asking this is because this new mother heard from her elderly family that she must be careful not to let her baby eat fire milk, otherwise it will be detrimental to the healthy growth of the baby's body. So, what exactly is fire milk? This new mother is also puzzled and does not understand it. Below, the editor will explain it to the mothers.
The term 'fire milk' referred to here actually refers to milk that has been exposed to internal heat. This means that breastfeeding mothers often eat greasy, fried, or high sugar foods during breastfeeding, or they often stay up late without sufficient rest time, which can easily cause internal heat. The milk produced when a mother is exposed to internal heat is called fire milk. If a baby eats fire milk, it can also cause internal heat in the baby.
When a baby has an internal heat, the first thing that occurs is abnormal bowel movements. The stool is dry and clumpy, which prolongs the defecation process, or it takes 3 to 5 days to defecate. The amount of urine will decrease and the color of the urine will be yellow. An internal heat in a baby can also cause oral ulcers or angular inflammation. Due to the pain, the baby may be unwilling to breastfeed, prone to irritability, crying, and other situations.
In addition, when a baby gets overheated after eating fire milk, it can also affect the quality of sleep and make it difficult for them to fall asleep. Even after falling asleep, they will flip back and forth, sleep unsteadily, and easily wake up. Poor sleep at night can also make the baby's morning spirit worse. Therefore, when a baby gets overheated, the mother should have a light diet to avoid further feeding fire milk and worsening the condition. At the same time, she can make some vegetable or fruit juice for the baby to drink to clear heat and detoxify.
