two。 Coffee drinking guidelines for mothers-to-be and new mothers!

When it comes to coffee, the girls in the office are in love with each other. Mocha, macchiato, latte, can't wait to have a cup at work, have a meeting to discuss it, and have another cup when you're tired of work. Ah, there are definitely not a few girls who drink three or four cups of coffee a day.

But one day, the girl who once loved coffee

.

I'm going to be a mother (or already a mother).

So the question is: girls, can you still drink coffee? How much more can I drink? How would you like it?

1. Is caffeine really harmful to moms and new moms?

It is estimated that the girls and their families have argued about this issue many times.

Let's first see what effect coffee has on moms and new moms.

a. With the increase of pregnancy time, the half-life of caffeine in the body will increase!

Dr Knutti, from Switzerland, found that the average half-life of caffeine in non-pregnant women was 3.1 hours, compared with 10.5 hours in pregnant women between 35 and 38 weeks of pregnancy. Although the specific growth curve of the half-life is still controversial, the increasing trend is certain. And the increase in half-life may lead to the accumulation of caffeine in the mother, and the effects of caffeine (rapid heartbeat, excitement, insomnia, poor appetite, etc.) tend to be obvious. Therefore, the more coffee is drunk in the third trimester, the more likely it is to have an adverse effect on the fetus.

But, but! This is not the reason for drinking coffee in the early stage of pregnancy.

b. Caffeine can pass through the placenta, not only let you feel refreshed, but also let the baby accompany you to "fight"!

The metabolic system of the fetus is too incomplete to metabolize caffeine, so any dose of caffeine may affect the fetus. For example, it can affect the sleep pattern of the fetus and the movement pattern of the fetus in the womb, especially in the second trimester. So when you think coffee makes you feel better, it's because caffeine increases the level of catecholamines in the mother (a form of adrenaline that causes excitement and enters what we call "combat mode"), and the baby may also be affected by caffeine to "fight" with you.

c. The need for water increases during pregnancy, while caffeine has a diuretic effect!

Coffee has a diuretic effect, and the need for water increases during pregnancy, so the intake of caffeinated drinks needs to be controlled to prevent dehydration, and drink as much water as possible.

In addition, coffee drinks mocha and caramel macchiato have high calories, which is not conducive to maintaining a beautiful figure and will be farther and farther away from the hot mother. (reply to the hot mother to check the secret book of the hot mother)

d. Caffeine can also go directly into breast milk and be drunk by the baby!

During breast-feeding, caffeine is likely to be eaten by the baby along with the mother's breast. if the baby becomes irritable after breast-feeding, then Ma people carefully recall whether they drank too many caffeinated drinks today. So caffeine intake during lactation should also be controlled.

Finally, the issues of particular concern:

e. Does caffeine cause fetal malformations or miscarriages?

Many animal experiments have found that caffeine may cause risks such as fetal malformations, premature delivery, miscarriage, low birth weight and reduced fertility. However, there is no sufficient academic evidence from human experiments to prove that caffeine intake in pregnant women is directly related to miscarriage, premature delivery and fetal growth retardation.

But!

Combined with limited scientific evidence and safety concerns, the American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women limit their caffeine intake (please meditate with me)

Less than 200 mg per day!

Later, I will introduce to you that 200mg is a magic horse concept.

two。 Coffee drinking guidelines for mothers-to-be and new mothers:

After knowing the daily 200mg, is it OK to control coffee intake according to this standard?

Too Simple!Too Naive!!

There is caffeine in carbonated drinks, tea, chocolate, and even some cold medicine and headache medicine. So during pregnancy, in addition to coffee, these drinks, food, medicine should pay attention to, how to pay attention, the following table tells you:

Note: the data are for reference only. How many coffee beans are used in each cup of coffee and the varieties vary from person to person. For the caffeine content of the drink, please see buy food packaging or ask the clerk.

So, in line with the daily 200mg limit, one cup of Star Dad's mocha a day is almost enough. If you still like to drink some tea and coke, then. Let's change to a medium or small cup.

Come on, let's sum up our suggestions:

a. Do not exceed the daily 200mg limit, a small amount of intake is OK, but it is best to stay away from caffeinated drinks during pregnancy.

b. In addition to coffee, remember to include the caffeine content in chocolate, cola and tea

c. If you are really worried, you can ask the clerk for decaf or decaf, and the general clerk will help.

d. In addition to pregnancy, lactation anaesthesia should also limit caffeine intake

e. Don't forget to drink plenty of water while drinking caffeine.

f. If you still have difficulty in choosing drinks, come backstage to find ah woo-Jun bar.
