Re: when can i have a cold drink..
just eat regular food you don't have to drink soup 24/7. I have heard nursing moms should stay away from caffeinated products.
Re: when can i have a cold drink..
Desi women think drinking cold water/drinks will keep your stomach/uterus from going back to it's original size. I am not sure how true that is, I always ate/drank whatever I pleased after giving birth and never had a problem with getting the stomach fat reduced.
I've heard in Pakistan, some women first boil the water, then cool it down so it's drinkable and ONLY drink that water...no cold water at all. Sorry but that don't make any sense to me.
Re: when can i have a cold drink..
hey nadz... congrts again! i think it depends on the kind of delivery u had. i had a c section and i avoided cold drinks...did u have a c section too?
Re: when can i have a cold drink..
Have a few sips, but avoid it in general while nursing.
Re: when can i have a cold drink..
I personally don't believe this myth about not drinking cold drinks!... do whatever u want as long as its not excessive drinking :D
Re: when can i have a cold drink..
and I have seen nurses giving ice cubes to the women here right after delivery! makes you wonder!
but then of course we all read here that some women in Pakistan don't take shower for 40 days after delivery so I am not surprised that they dun let you drink cold water!
Re: when can i have a cold drink..
here in denmark its the same u get ice cold water or juice at the hospital and in pakistan they say that the "fat" burns by drinking luke warm water
Re: when can i have a cold drink..
i was told to do the same thing, no cold water. I tried my utmost hardest but gosh i was soooo thirsty that it was unbearable, i gt my lil bro to get me cold bottles of lucozade :D
but due to lack of water i ended up severely dehydrated wen baby was just 10 days old :(, i say kep up with water however u want especially if u r breastfedding :)
Re: when can i have a cold drink..
You can have whatever you like unless teh doctor has specifiaclly told you not to have it. Even Pakistani doctors are tired of fighting myths like this.
Re: when can i have a cold drink..
ahhh forget if its gud or not.. i was told not to drink cold water after delivery becus of the uterus thing and also becus it will affect my baby ( i was exclusively BF till 2 mnths).. i hated and still do warm water. i have to have cold water or else i dun drink.. it never quenches my thirst otherwise!
