Eating fruit can meet the nutritional needs of lying-in women, effectively help them digest and absorb nutrients, and properly supplement vitamins and minerals.

Mother loves to stay in bed, has poor gastrointestinal peristalsis and is often constipated. In addition, postpartum blood loss is more, and blood needs to be supplemented, and iron is one of the main raw materials for hematopoiesis, so eating more bananas can prevent postpartum constipation and postpartum anemia. Maternal intake of iron is more, and the iron in milk sweat is more, which is also helpful to prevent infant anemia.
2. What fruit does mother eat? Jujube. Jujube contains the most vitamin C, and also contains a lot of glucose and protein.

In addition, orange core and orange complex (white silk on petals of orange peel) can promote lactation. When the mammary duct of the lying-in woman is not unobstructed, it will not only cause hypogalactia, but also cause acute mastitis, which will affect the feeding of the baby. Eating oranges can avoid the above phenomenon.
Postpartum diet precautions
No matter what diet the parturient intends to eat, she must follow the following precautions for postpartum diet:
Fast and cold food
Postpartum deficiency cold and blood stasis, should be fasting cold, cold products. A cold is more harmful to the stomach. A cold is blood coagulation. If lochia can't stop, it will cause postpartum abdominal pain, physical pain and other diseases.
For example, during childbirth in summer, most parturients want to eat some cold food, such as ice cream, iced drinks, assorted cold dishes, cold rice and so on. These cold foods are easy to damage the spleen and stomach, which is not conducive to lochia discharge.
Fasting and nutritious food
Like the birth of animals, human beings are ready for future production during pregnancy. Overnourished women are prone to obesity, leading to many diseases. Maternal obesity can also cause the increase of fat content in milk, which will eventually lead to obesity or diarrhea in infants.
Smoking and drinking after delivery are not suitable.
Alcohol and tobacco are very exciting things. Smoking will reduce milk, and toxic substances such as nicotine in smoke will also invade milk. Babies who eat such milk will be affected.
Control salt intake
It doesn't matter if you eat the right amount of salt, but some pregnant women already have high blood pressure, kidney disease, or pregnancy-induced hypertension, so new mothers with this problem must strictly control their salt intake.
Salty foods, such as pickled products, contain a lot of salt, and the sodium in the salt will cause water retention and edema in severe cases. However, you should not avoid salt. Because you have more urine, more sweat and more salt after delivery, you need to supplement a certain amount of salt to maintain the balance of water and electrolyte.
Fasting spicy food
Postpartum blood loss hurts body fluids, mostly due to yin deficiency and internal heat. Therefore, spicy and irritating foods such as onions, ginger, garlic and peppers should be avoided. If you eat spicy food, it is not only easy to cause constipation and hemorrhoids, but also may affect your baby's gastrointestinal function through milk.
Avoid single nutrition or overeating.
Maternal women should not be picky eaters, but should be diversified, thick and thin, with a wide variety and reasonable nutrition. Because maternal gastrointestinal function is weak, satiety will not only affect appetite, but also hinder digestive function. Therefore, pregnant women should eat less and eat more meals, and the number of meals per day can be increased from 3 to 5 to 6.
You should not go on a diet immediately after delivery.
Postpartum weight gain is mainly water and fat, such as breastfeeding, which is not enough at all. Moreover, women themselves need nutrition to restore health, so they should not go on a diet.
According to experts, pregnant women should eat more calcium-rich foods and get more than 2800 kilocalories from food every day to meet their own and breastfeeding needs. In order to get back in shape, you can appropriately increase the amount of activity and do some aerobic exercise to consume excess calories, and you must not blindly diet. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Misunderstanding of confinement
There are indeed many taboos during the confinement period, but there are also many conservative misunderstandings. Female friends should understand these misunderstandings, get out of them, and complete confinement more scientifically and effectively.
Misunderstanding 1: I think I should always lie down when I am confined.
It's right to lie down after confinement, but don't lie down all the time, otherwise you will feel worse back pain and lack of exercise will aggravate constipation. Many elderly people think that they should wear it when they are pregnant, and never get out of bed, otherwise they will not recover well. This is a big misunderstanding. You can get out of bed often in the second month, as long as you are not too tired.
Myth 2: You can't blow your hair just after giving birth.
Just because you can't blow air after giving birth doesn't mean that there is no ventilation in the room after giving birth. Don't be silly to treat blowing and ventilation as one thing, as long as you don't point the tuyere directly at the parturient when opening the window for ventilation. Otherwise, it will stink if you don't open the window for a month.
Myth 3: You can't wash your hair and take a bath in the month.
If you don't take a bath or wash your hair in the month, your whole body is dirty, and bacterial growth is more likely to cause mother and baby to get sick. Of course, you can wash your hair and take a bath in the month, just remember to use hot water.
