Easy to digest, nutritious liquid food should be the first choice for the first postpartum meal. Such as poached eggs in sugar water, egg drop soup, lotus root starch, etc. Wait until the next day to eat soft foods or regular meals. Rice porridge, soft rice, rotten noodles, egg soup, etc. should be the staple food for 5-7 days after delivery. Don't eat too much greasy food, such as chicken, pig's trotters, etc.

After 7 days after delivery, the stomach returns to normal and you can take fish, meat, eggs, chicken, etc. However, you should not be overly full. Within 1 month after delivery, you should eat multiple meals a day, preferably 5-6 times a day.

Pregnant women should eat the following foods:

Hawthorn. Hawthorn can promote uterine contraction and accelerate uterine recovery. Uterine contractions will also constrict the blood vessels of the uterus and stop bleeding, which is of great significance for the recovery of postpartum hemorrhage and postpartum lochia.

Longan. Longan, also known as longan, is a good postpartum tonic in ancient and modern times. It can be used to supplement the frailty, fatigue, poor appetite, insomnia, etc. caused by insufficient Qi and blood after childbirth, and promote postpartum recovery. Such as longan jujube porridge, etc.

Carp can promote uterine contraction and help remove excess blood. Carp also has the effects of diuresis, swelling and lactation, and can be used for postpartum edema in mothers.

Traditional postpartum tonics generally include brown sugar, millet porridge, dates, eggs, sesame seeds, etc. There are also soups that are indispensable foods to promote milk secretion. Such as pork ribs soup, beef soup, chicken soup, donkey hide gelatin lean meat soup, jujube and fungus soup, wolfberry and crucian carp soup, peanut, angelica and pig's trotters soup, etc. Of course, it is more appropriate to drink lactation soup after 7 days after delivery.

Porridges available to pregnant women include: mutton and wolfberry porridge, peanut porridge, red bean porridge, longan porridge, etc.

During the confinement period, you should also eat foods that strengthen the spleen, whet your appetite, and promote digestion. Such as yam, hawthorn cake (slices), jujube, tomatoes, etc.

Eggs. No more than 3-4 per day.

Milk. Mothers should drink at least 500 ml of milk every day.

Eat more lactation-inducing foods, such as brown sugar water, milk, soy milk, millet porridge, chicken soup, broth, fish soup, shrimp, pig's trotters, hens, peanuts, soybeans, day lilies, carp, and crucian carp. , cuttlefish, etc. are all good products for lowering breasts. Others include pork liver, soy products, red beans, peas, loofah, peanuts, sesame, etc. Luffa can be used to scramble eggs or make egg and loofah soup.

Pregnant women should avoid eating spicy, warm and dry foods. These foods can increase internal heat and cause internal heat, sores on the mouth and tongue, and constipation. Avoid eating leeks, garlic, chili, pepper, fennel, etc. Do not eat raw, cold or hard food to avoid damage to the spleen and stomach. Raw and cold things can easily lead to blood congestion and retention, which can cause postpartum pain and postpartum lochia. Cold foods such as pears, persimmons, watermelons, eggplants, cucumbers, etc. should not be eaten.

Pregnant women have postpartum congestion and should not eat sour and astringent foods to avoid blocking the blood flow and hindering the discharge of lochia. Such as black plum, lotus seed, gorgon fruit, persimmon, pumpkin, etc.

Drinking brown sugar water after delivery can replenish blood, but it is best to drink brown sugar water for 7-10 days. If you drink brown sugar water for a long time, the blood-activating effect of brown sugar will increase the blood volume of lochia, causing the mother to continue to lose blood.

If you eat more hens after giving birth, not only will you not be able to increase your milk production, but you will experience a return of milk production. The reason is that hens contain a large amount of estrogen, so eating a large amount of hens after delivery will increase the estrogen content in the maternal body, weaken or even disappear the prolactin function, leading to the return of milk. The androgen contained in the rooster's body has the effect of opposing estrogen, so it will increase milk production. Moreover, roosters contain less fat, which can prevent mothers from gaining weight.
