After giving birth, mothers may have different confinement meals depending on the customs of each place. So let’s take a look at some of the weird confinement meals. Let’s take a look.

A few days ago, I complained about an article about people who vomited after eating eggs during confinement. Unexpectedly, many friends came to leave messages saying that not only did they eat eggs until they vomited, but they also eat all kinds of different foods every day. Appearing on the dining table, it can be called a "dark cuisine" collection.

Due to different customs in different places, the food during confinement is also very strange. I have to say that the tears I am crying about now are all from the soup I drank during confinement.

Single-food postpartum meal

When it comes to the "number one" postpartum meal, it must be eggs. When I was pregnant with Dabao, my mother always whispered in my ears that she would save eggs for me so that I could eat them during confinement to replenish my health.

After hearing this, I had to wonder, "Mom, am I your biological child? Just eating eggs is not nutritious enough." My best friend Xiaoyu also complained to me that she drank millet porridge every day during confinement. Been drinking it for a whole month.

My mother-in-law said it is good for digestion and has soup, which is good for wounds and also provides milk. After a month, my best friend is completely hurt from drinking it, and now she wants to cry when she sees millet porridge.

There is also a mother from the south in the mother group who said that she ate boiled eggs with fermented glutinous rice for many days during her confinement period because she didn’t like eggs herself, and the fermented fermented glutinous rice was even more difficult to swallow, so she secretly gave them all. My husband shared the burden, so that in one month, he actually gained a few pounds.

To be honest, I don’t know who passed down the tradition of eating eggs during confinement, so that the elders believe it so deeply.

Eating only one kind of food for a long time will not be beneficial to the physical recovery of the mother. On the contrary, it will lead to the problem of insufficient nutritional intake. In addition to daily staple food, new mothers should also eat more meat and fish. , as well as fruits, vegetables, soybeans, nuts and other foods. The rich intake of nutrients can help mothers recover as soon as possible.

The more the merrier type of postpartum meal

The most common thing you hear from your elders during postpartum confinement is probably "eat more, the baby still has to breastfeed." Then just ignore everything. Put it in your bowl. The most "terrible" thing I heard was that a friend was asked to eat thirty eggs a day. I suspected that all the eggs she would eat in her life were concentrated in this one month.

Some new mothers will be asked to drink soup, such as old hen soup, pig's trotters soup, crucian carp soup, all kinds of soups come in different styles, and they are also required to drink the entire pot of soup with meat and meat. If you drink it, you will feel tired. If you don't drink it, you will be afraid of brushing the old man's face, so you can only take a deep breath and "dry it".

I think the reason why the older generation loves eggs so much is because materials were scarce in the past, and eggs are relatively easy to obtain and have nutritional value. So the older generation naturally thinks eggs are good.

But it’s 8012 now. Are there any nutritious foods that we can’t buy? You don’t need to be too obsessed with eggs. Eating too much cholesterol will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and affect absorption. One or two a day is enough.

As for the various postpartum soups, the nutrition of meat is actually much higher than that of soup. If you like it, drink more. If you don’t like it, just drink it in moderation.

If this is not possible, then this type of postpartum meal is not allowed

More than once, I have seen new mothers come to the mother group and ask, "Is it true that you can't eat fruits during confinement? I'm really good I want to eat fruit.” I even heard someone say, “My mother-in-law said that if I eat fruit during confinement, my baby will shake his head when he grows up. Is this true?”

Many new mothers may have heard this. We can't eat fruits during confinement, and the reasons are all strange and unbelievable. I have to say that the elders can make up anything to prevent us from eating fruits.

Eating some fruits appropriately during the confinement period will not make the baby shake his head in the future. If you find that your child really likes to shake his head, it may be that he is expressing his excitement.

New mothers can enjoy fruits during the confinement period, but they need to pay attention to choosing fruits at room temperature to prevent the temperature from being too low and causing stomach upset. Fruits can also supplement the vitamins and fiber needed by mothers and help new mothers promote lactation.
