Pregnant women's bodies undergo many changes, and it is common for breasts to become soft and swollen. Some pregnant women may even secrete milk during pregnancy, and when it is close to delivery, there may be a phenomenon of milk overflow. This is to prepare for postpartum breastfeeding, but what is the reason for the yellowing of freshly squeezed milk?
The freshly squeezed milk turns yellow, which is normal. After delivery, the milk at the beginning may turn yellow, indicating that the quality of the milk is relatively high. Usually, there will be yellowing in one or two days after delivery, and then it will turn milky white. Breastfeeding can enhance the child's immunity, thus preventing disease invasion well. Moreover, breast milk is easy to digest and absorb, and will not cause too much burden on the child's gastrointestinal tract.
Although yellowing of breast milk is a normal condition, it generally does not last for too long. If it remains light yellow all the time, one should be alert that it is the cause of breast disease. This situation requires timely examination and treatment at the hospital to avoid affecting the child's health.
In order to increase milk secretion, women can eat more foods with lactation promoting effects, such as peanuts. Peanuts also have the function of strengthening the spleen and stomach, and can alleviate anemia symptoms after childbirth. Women can stew peanuts and pig trotters in soup for better results. In addition, luffa not only regulates breast qi and blood, but also has a lactation promoting effect. Women can make luffa collaterals to eat, or stir fry eggs with luffa, which is more nutritious.
