Should I be eating for two during breastfeeding?

There is no need to eat more than usual. Breastfeeding mothers should select nutrient-dense foods that meet the nutritional requirements of their baby. Nutrition supplements taken during postpartum will affect the quality of breast milk. When the baby is exclusively breastfed, the breast milk becomes the sole source of nutrients for the baby. If your daily diet doesn’t meet the requirements during breastfeeding (which is usually the case), it is advisable to consider nutritional supplements to fulfill your nutritional needs.

Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted?

It’s common to feel overwhelmed and exhausted as a new mother, given the constant demands of caring for a new-born. This can lead to a lack of sleep, heightened stress, and emotional fluctuations. At the same time, body changes after childbirth might also impact self-esteem.

To alleviate some of this pressure, it’s beneficial to communicate openly with your family and friends to seek their support. Delegating baby care responsibilities to your partner or relatives can provide much-needed personal time for recuperation. Additionally, consider incorporating nutritional supplements and calming scents into your routine, offering a respite from the daily stresses.

Is it possible for pregnancy stretch marks and cellulite to disappear?

Each mother has their unique skin properties, which means that while stretch marks and cellulite may not vanish entirely, they typically become less noticeable over time. Stretch marks, once developed, are not easily eliminated naturally.

Employing products like stretch mark removal oils and firming body creams can aid the rejuvenation of the skin’s elasticity, mitigating the rupture of tiny blood vessels, and bolstering skin tightness. Nonetheless, the process of diminishing and refining these marks is gradual and demands dedicated and persistent care.

What skin changes occur postpartum?

The added stress, hormone changes and tiredness from becoming a new mom can take a toll on the skin. Hormone secretion can cause damage to skin barrier and the following problems:

The skin may become dry, lacking moisture and radiance which leads to appearance of cracked and rough skin. These problems worsen when breastfeeding. Breast milk contains lots of fat and fat is lost during the process.

How to maintain breast firmness postpartum?

After the postpartum weaning process, the mammary glands typically undergo a size reduction, which may result in a loss of breast elasticity and a return to their pre-pregnancy condition. Additionally, the increased caloric demands of breastfeeding do not always match with the nutrient intake, often leading to a depletion of the body’s fat reserves. This can cause the breasts to appear more relaxed and may lead to noticeable sagging, which might affect a mother’s self-esteem and confidence.

Regular breast massage can enhance the appearance of the breasts by stimulating blood flow, and bolster the elasticity and tone of the breast muscles. Our expert therapists at BEYORG employ specialized massage techniques designed to unclog the lymphatic system, to elevate and tighten the breast tissue. Allowing effective easing and alleviating of tension in the chest area.

Why do postpartum hair loss and grey hair occur?

After childbirth, the placenta detaches from the mother’s body, causing a decrease in hormone levels such as estrogen and progesterone. This hormonal shift leads to noticeable hair loss and an increase in white or gray hair. Coming out from the hair resting phase also plays a part. Additionally, significant blood loss during the delivery process may result in anemia, which can further contribute to hair loss.

Furthermore, during breastfeeding, most nutrients are concentrated in breast milk, leaving the scalp and hair with fewer nutrients available for absorption. Simultaneously, newborn babies may struggle to differentiate between day and night, leading to sleep-deprived mothers due to baby care responsibilities. This immense mental and physical stress can disrupt melanin function, potentially resulting in an increased likelihood of hair turning white.

It is recommended for mothers to gently massage their scalp after shampooing as there are many acupuncture points in the head, which can greatly improve sleep quality. The body and scalp become more sensitive postpartum. With numerous hair care and hair dye products on the market containing harsh chemical ingredients, it is best to avoid those products after giving birth. Especially if products contain silicone, sulphates, and diamines which are known to irritate the scalp.
