Can I hula hoop while breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding is a very important stage for women. The confinement period may cause the body shape to change, but it is not recommended to start losing weight during the breastfeeding period. On the one hand, it can easily lead to a deterioration in one's own physical fitness, and on the other hand, it can affect the normal breastfeeding of the child and reduce the quality of milk. Therefore, it is not suitable to hula hoop during breastfeeding, as it may cause deformation of internal organs or injury to the waist. Next, let’s take a look at what women need to pay attention to during breastfeeding.

Drugs that cannot be taken during breastfeeding

When it comes to medication for breastfeeding women, one must not only consider whether the medication affects milk secretion, but also the effect of the medication on the baby. Many drugs can be excreted in the mother's breast milk and enter the baby's body. Although the concentration of some drugs in breast milk is very low, the drugs will definitely have an effect on the baby because the baby's body is tender. The following are some common drugs that are contraindicated or should be used with caution during breastfeeding:

1. Antimicrobial drugs, such as penicillin antibiotics, including penicillin, neopenicillin II, neopenicillin III, ampicillin, etc.

2. Sulfonamide drugs, such as sulfaisoxazole, sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole, sulfaguanidine, probenecid, trimethoprim, bacteriostatic sulfamethoxazole, dipyridine tablets, co-trimoxazole, etc.

3. Aminoglycoside drugs such as gentamicin and streptomycin have high concentrations in breast milk and can cause hearing loss in infants, so they should be banned.

4. Isoniazid (Remifon) has no confirmed adverse effects on infants, but since anti-tuberculosis drugs need to be used for a long time, in order to avoid adverse effects on infants, it is best to switch to other drugs or stop breastfeeding.

5. Metronidazole is a broad-spectrum antibiotic commonly used to treat Trichomonas vaginitis and anaerobic bacterial infections. Although the harm to breastfeeding infants after oral administration has not been finally confirmed, it is still recommended not to use it.

6. Chloramphenicol. Infants, especially newborns, have incomplete liver detoxification function. If chloramphenicol is inhaled through breast milk, infant poisoning is likely to occur, which can inhibit bone marrow function, cause leukopenia, and even cause fatal gray baby syndrome. Therefore, the use of chloramphenicol should be prohibited.

7. Tetracycline and doxycycline, both of these drugs are fat-soluble drugs and can easily enter breast milk. In particular, tetracycline can damage infants' teeth, cause incomplete development of enamel, cause permanent yellowing of teeth, and cause jaundice in infants. So it should also be disabled.

8. Aminopyrine and drugs containing aminopyrine, such as analgesics, salpingo, and antonidine, can quickly enter breast milk and should be avoided.

9. Drugs such as atropine sulfate, gentamicin sulfate, and streptomycin sulfate have relatively high concentrations in breast milk and can reduce the hearing of infants, so they should be avoided.

10. The antithyroid drug methylthiouracil can suppress the thyroid function of infants through breast milk. Oral use of thiouracil can cause goiter and agranulocytosis in infants, so it should be prohibited.

11. The antiviral drug amantadine is often given to patients by doctors as a first step to fight the common cold. If a breastfeeding mother takes this medicine, it may cause vomiting, rash and urinary retention in the infant, so it should be prohibited.

12. Breastfeeding women with malignant tumors should stop breastfeeding, because anti-cancer drugs will enter the baby's body through breast milk, causing bone marrow suppression and a decrease in white blood cells.

13. When anticoagulants are needed, heparin cannot be used and can be used instead to avoid causing coagulation mechanism disorders in the newborn.

In addition, medicines that should not be taken during breastfeeding include salicylates, diuretics and strong laxatives. Sedatives such as phenobarbital, amytal, etc., oral contraceptives. Experts remind: Use drugs with caution during breastfeeding

It is best not to eat spicy foods, including seasonings, during breastfeeding. It is best not to eat chocolate or cocoa butter, as they can easily cause indigestion or affect appetite. Be aware that leeks and malt may inhibit milk secretion. Try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and drink more milk and soup. It is best to eat twice as much food as usual.
