I was born three days ago.
Breakfast: drink brown sugar porridge (which can effectively discharge lochia)
Drink water: drink brown sugar water.
Lunch and dinner: locally steamed dried tofu
Don't eat greasy meat for three days before confinement. This is our local steamed tofu with a little salt. It is said that there will be milk on the third day. If you drink chicken soup and eat meat, it is easy to block the mammary duct, and there will be no milk in the future.
(3) Three days after delivery
Breakfast: sweet wine and eggs.
Lunch and dinner: chicken soup, sparerib soup, fish soup, pork belly soup, fat sausage soup, randomly arranged. Chicken soup is the most commonly eaten.
Because her daughter gave birth here, her parents send a gift every month, sending 10 more chickens and hundreds of eggs to mend her body. So generally speaking, the most eaten in the month is egg chicken soup. Now that life is good, these soups can be arranged at will, and the month is designated by the wet nurse. Many wet nurses are born in the second month, and they are afraid when they see egg chicken soup. They do eat too much and drink too much.
Ten years ago, confinement was still the old method, and washing your hair and taking a bath was not allowed. Don't brush your teeth and wash your face with cold water, and don't touch cold water with your hands. I took a shower when I was pregnant, but I really didn't wash my head. The oil really didn't work. I felt itchy for a few days, but I didn't feel it after 20 days. Except for the second month 1, I went to the barber shop to wash my hair, which was really comfortable.
There should be some changes in recent 10 years. I heard many young mothers say that they all washed their hair and bathed in the next month. In fact, I don't blame these mother-in-law for urging their daughter-in-law not to wash her hair or take a shower. There are really some daughters-in-law here. When you are old, you say that you are not sitting well, and you blame your mother-in-law for not helping. Mother-in-law is like a frightened bird. She is very strict with her daughter-in-law's confinement, just to keep her daughter-in-law quiet.
Giving birth to children and confinement is a great event for China people. Due to different regions, the diet of confinement varies from place to place. Let me talk about our moon meal here.
Millet gruel
Coordinate Shijiazhuang, millet porridge is the most commonly eaten in our confinement here. The new millet that came down that year is boiled into sticky millet porridge, which is the most tonic. It is inevitable that a person will be tired when eating millet porridge. When some exquisite people cook millet porridge, they will also put red dates, longan, peanuts and other ingredients. A bowl of millet porridge will make the whole body feel much more comfortable.
Thick rice
In our family, besides millet porridge, people often chop pork and beef into cubes, then fry them in a little oil to change color, add shredded Chinese cabbage to soften them, then add water to boil them, add more millet than usual, and cook them into thick meat porridge with almost no soup. Our dialect is called glutinous rice. Because there are meat, vegetables and thick porridge (which can be eaten with chopsticks), a bowl of rice is also a moon meal.
Egg noodle soup
Our specialty here is Gaocheng Palace Noodles (vermicelli). After giving birth to a child, eating egg noodle soup is also a standard for confinement.
During confinement, pregnant women have to add meals every morning and afternoon. Egg noodle soup is simple and easy to digest, and it is called one of the most common diets for lying-in women.
The simple egg noodle soup is to boil white flour, nest a poached egg, sprinkle chopped green onion or coriander and two drops of sesame oil before cooking. Some people use chicken soup and sparerib soup as the soup base to cook noodles, plus some green leafy vegetables. It tastes light, but it's delicious.
Sesame salt
According to the old custom in Hebei, the host family should prepare sesame salt for the new children and give it back to the guests who come to congratulate.
The custom of eating sesame salt in confinement has been passed down to this day, but it will not be returned to the guests, but is specially prepared for pregnant women. Our confinement here is inseparable from millet porridge. If the taste of millet gruel is too weak, we will prepare a small packet of sesame salt for the parturient and sprinkle some into the millet gruel, which tastes fragrant and weak, making the parturient more willing to eat.
The method of sesame salt is very simple. Stir-fry sesame seeds until golden brown, crush them with a rolling pin while they are hot, add some salt, mix well, and sprinkle some on porridge when eating.
I raise my children happily and share the knowledge of maternity and parenting every day. Welcome to pay attention, more exciting waiting for you.
The diet of confinement is really lively. One, ribs, two, big scare, three, eggs, four, black-bone chicken, five, tilapia, six, beef, seven, mutton, eight, milk, nine, fruit, ten, soybean milk, eleven, all kinds of fresh vegetables. Alas, this confinement is like Chinese New Year every day, but my mother eats well.
My hometown is in a county near the north of Hunan, although I have left my hometown for several years now. But both babies were born in their hometown, so let's talk about the diet of confinement there.
Our diet for confinement here has different time periods. There are different ways to eat at different times, but the general way to eat is to be as light as possible.
1, 3 days before delivery
Our custom there is that we can only eat a little boiled dried long beans or other vegetables three days before confinement. You can't eat meat and touch it. Old people say that there are two meanings: first, they have just given birth to a child and are still very weak, so it is not appropriate to make up. Second: We Hunan people love to eat Chili, but we must not eat Chili in the dishes in the month. In order to avoid losing your appetite in the second month, you must cook for the first three days. After cooking for three days, you will definitely have an appetite when you see light meat.
Before giving birth to the baby, my mother told me this rule, saying that they all did it at that time and gave me a lot of long beans. When giving birth to the first child, the pain lasted from midnight 12 to noon the next day 12. It hurt all night and I didn't eat anything. After giving birth to the child, I was in poor health and spirit, lost my appetite, and basically didn't eat that day.
After waking up from sleep the next day, I recovered a lot physically and mentally. It happened that my mother brought me breakfast. When I saw it, it was really boiled and dried long beans. I can't see any oil planetesimals, and there is no salt smell. I tried to eat a little, and it wasn't noon yet, and my stomach was growling with hunger. When my mother came to deliver lunch, the doctor happened to be there. I know I can't compare with my mother's "old rules", but I can ask the doctor for "justice". After listening to my complaint, the doctor said angrily, "Although the parturient can't make up much these days, your diet is too light, which is not conducive to the recovery of the parturient. At least you can get some lean meat and cabbage to cook, which is both light and vegetarian. "
2.3- 10 days of delivery
3- 10 days after confinement, our custom here is to eat pork belly and old duck. Eating pig's belly says that a woman hurts her stomach too much after pregnancy, and eating her stomach can make up her stomach. Eat old duck because its soup is delicious and nutritious, and the most important thing is that it won't get angry after eating it.
Because of these two customs, the prices of pork belly and old duck in our hometown are outrageous. The price of pork belly is 2-2.5 times that of pork, and the ordinary duck in old Abby Mallard is twice as expensive. Close relatives, such as uncles, aunts, uncles, etc., usually reserve local pork bellies or local self-supporting ducks for pregnant women at home early. After production, buy it back and send it.
3. 10-30 days of confinement
At this time, besides continuing to eat pork belly and old duck, you can also eat some hens for a change. Why can't we eat hens from the beginning? Because hens contain more estrogen, if you eat hens immediately after delivery, it will increase the estrogen in the maternal body and affect the secretion of milk.
There is also a must-eat food in our hometown-sweet wine. Once a mother confirms that her daughter is pregnant, she will personally brew an altar of sweet wine for her daughter to drink in confinement. Mothers who can't brew wine will let familiar people prepare it early.
The glutinous rice for brewing wine is all planted by our own family, and the distillers' yeast is all made by the villagers from Shan Ye, which is very green and healthy. Count the days to steam the glutinous rice, add a proper amount of distiller's yeast, and then put it in the jar. After about 48 hours, the sweet wine is ready, then the distiller's grains are removed, the wine is boiled and canned. The purpose of this is, first of all, boiled wine will never get old or stale, it will always be sweet. Second, cooking wine, the alcohol content is greatly reduced, which is better for maternal and newborn health.
When drinking liqueur, prepare a cup of boiling water, pour in a quarter of liqueur, and a cup of fragrant and sweet liqueur will be ready. Not only is it delicious, but it is also rich in vitamins. Just pay attention, after 10 days after delivery, you can't drink it, for fear of endless lochia.
4. Dietary precautions for confinement in your hometown.
When we were confined in our hometown, the biggest feature of our diet was light, less oil and salt, no cooking, no cockfighting, no biting and no coldness. My mother always told me that I used to have an aunt who liked to chew chicken bones during confinement. As a result, before she was 50 years old, half of her teeth fell out. He also said that if it is chronic pharyngitis, you must put less salt, so that pharyngitis will be half better in one month.
Generally speaking, the monthly diet in our hometown is in line with the scientific basis. However, the first three days of abstinence from meat were too harsh, and the overall food was monotonous, which was a serious injury. I was tortured by my mother-in-law for the first month. The next month, I learned the lesson, learned the knowledge, and had more ideas about the diet of the month. So I will argue with them and tell them the scientific basis, and the types of food will become much richer.
Let me talk about the food I used to eat when I was confinement in my hometown in Henan. In 2000, the conditions were not good. Every day my mother gives me a bowl of brown sugar poached eggs, because I don't like poached eggs. I only ate them for two days. Later, scrambled eggs made cakes, and lean vegetables made cakes at noon. But I really couldn't get enough to eat that month. I remember one day when my mother was busy, my husband cooked for me and bought some crucian carp. Braised crucian carp with cabbage, except for some salt, without seasoning. That tastes terrible. I can't eat it at all. Until now, when it comes to stewed crucian carp with cabbage, my mouth is uncomfortable. I haven't returned to my hometown for many years, and I don't care much about confinement, but now the conditions are good and the food is quite rich! Haha, I have time to pay attention to the next moon meal. I will wait on my future daughter-in-law when she gives birth to my grandson in a few years!
Every place has different customs, but I think the food for confinement should be similar. Because it was the first child, and then I felt it was also a caesarean section, so I didn't pay much attention to my diet. I eat with others at home, and I eat whatever they eat. I was born more than a year ago and was tortured by stomach trouble (there was no stomach trouble before).
My mother's family eats six meals a day in the second month, because all they eat in the second month is clear soup and fresh water, and they have to feed the children, so they will soon feel hungry.
On the first morning, I get up at five or six o'clock and usually drink a little chicken soup first.
Eat a little millet porridge and some eggs at about nine o'clock in the second meal.
For the third lunch, I will eat a little stir-fry and steamed bread as the staple food.
Have some chicken soup or fish soup around three in the afternoon.
Have some noodles or something at six or seven in the fifth meal.
Eat some millet porridge and some eggs at about ten o'clock in the evening of the sixth meal.
Don't take confinement seriously, it is difficult to cure the disease if it falls into confinement. Many gynecological diseases are also because confinement does not pay attention! ! !
I am July, and I will answer this question. My sister-in-law just had a confinement some time ago. We just went back during that time, and the most we ate in the next month was chicken soup and fermented eggs.
Most chickens are eating cocks, which is what we call it there. I wonder what my mother added to the rooster. I know there is rice wine, because it is sweet, and there seems to be red dates!
Fermented eggs are cooked with rice wine and earth eggs. Rice wine was brewed by my mother a few days before her sister-in-law gave birth. That kind of rice wine can be used to cook eggs in a few days. This is what most people eat when they are pregnant. There are fermented eggs for every meal. Unless my sister-in-law says she won't eat it, just eat it, and so will the rooster. Sometimes she will fry vegetables or fish soup, such as broccoli, as long as I pay attention.
Let me start with my own hometown. I come from Shanxi. In our hometown, we usually eat chicken every month, one a day.
Of course, chicken offal and chicken head and feet can't be cooked together. These are all for home. Mother-in-law will fry the chicken with ginger wine before making soup. Some will even remove the chicken skin directly because they are afraid of oil. Some of them can eat wine without getting angry. They will simply cook soup with white wine and ginger.
Of course, this requires a certain amount of alcohol. Generally, the soup is boiled with ginger wine, and then the oil on the soup is removed. It tastes very good. It warms the uterus, or if it is a caesarean section, it can't eat ginger wine, so some nutrition can't keep up.
And homemade pork knuckle soup cooked in white vinegar. I cook these almost every month. Give the tourists a bowl first, which is also very helpful to shrink the uterus, and put ginger in the middle to cook together. Some people can eat some vegetables, but some places say they can't eat vegetables next month. The confinement in our hometown is as simple as that. Usually we eat so much every day. Alas, eating too much is really scary.
In addition, it usually takes seven days to wash your hair and bathe in the middle of the month, and it is usually cooked until it is cold. You can't add cold water halfway, that is, the water can only be used when it is completely cold. Almost all the water you touch is like this. But not many people really help such people. After all, many people are afraid of trouble. So now many of them are washed directly with warm water.
Moms, how do you sit in your hometown?
Diet varies from place to place, and pregnant women eat differently in confinement. My hometown is Guangxi, and the most common thing for confinement is to eat chicken. My mother said that when my sister and I were born in the 1980s, our family was very poor, but even if she was poor, she kept confinement for 30 days and basically ate a chicken every day. There must be no money to buy chickens at that time. Her home is in the countryside. During pregnancy, she began to raise more than 30 chickens. After giving birth, she will send a few chickens at home, so no matter how poor she is, she must ensure to eat chickens.
Every time I hear her say that, I feel incredible. How can I eat a chicken a day? But when it was my turn to take a confinement, I believed it. I was born in my husband's hometown, where I was kept. They also have the custom of eating chicken in Guangdong. When I was born three months ago, my husband bought more than 30 chickens weighing about two pounds, saying that it would be better to go to the vegetable market for a while.
When I was confined, I mainly ate the following:
Chicken soup; Inspirational nonsense
My hometown usually drinks chicken soup in confinement, not only soup but also chicken. Cooked chicken soup will put a lot of ginger, saying that ginger can drive away cold and wind, and a lot of food will be put in the month.
Brown sugar, ginger and eggs
Usually eat brown sugar and ginger eggs for breakfast, boil water with ginger and brown sugar, put some red dates, and then beat two nests of eggs. My mother will also add some lean meat. Eggs are rich in nutrition. I eat eggs for breakfast almost every day.
Ginger with pig feet
Ginger with pig's feet is the most commonly eaten by Guangdong people in confinement. When I was about to give birth, I cooked a big pot of ginger at home. When I am confinement, I want to eat trotters or eggs, and then put some out to cook with trotters. I like ginger and pig's trotters. Ginger is not spicy, trotters are not greasy, and it is a bit sweet and sour. I eat too much chicken, and occasionally I will feel very appetizing.
The above is the classic model of my confinement, but I will get tired of eating it every day, so my mother and husband will change it, not necessarily according to the custom of my hometown. For example, I sometimes have millet porridge and noodles for breakfast, and chicken can be steamed and stewed to make the taste I want, as long as it is not spicy. Tired of drinking chicken soup, you can switch to bone soup, fish soup, and vegetables and fruits. You can't just eat high-protein food, you must ensure the diversity and nutritional balance of food.
Thank you for seeing the ending. If you think my answer is useful, please give me a compliment before you go. I am a kind mother, constantly learning and keen to share knowledge. Looking forward to your attention, we will grow together on the road of parenting!
I'm from western Guangdong, and I often eat pig's feet vinegar in my hometown, as well as Yuepo chicken (that is, the old hen fried with white wine to make chicken soup), wormwood egg soup, fried pork loin and pork tripe soup. At that time, my mother was pig's foot vinegar, moon-old egg soup and no vegetables. Up to now, in addition to the above recipes, there are some cold dishes and chicken stewed fish soup.
