I used to listen to my mother's nagging about how wronged I was in confinement. My grandmother gives her eggs or chicken every day. This is still a good meal, at least you can see the meat. Some people have eggs and day lilies for a whole month, and it is basically impossible to eat other dishes.

Because of the lack of food in the past, everyone's food was basically planted or raised in their own homes, but more often, the livestock were not raised for other reasons or for festivals. The best source of nutrition for ordinary housewives is eggs.

However, with the improvement of living standards, pregnant women have a great choice of food to eat in the second month, even if the worst still has meat to eat.

Eating meat all the time is easy to get tired. In addition to chicken and eggs, in fact, when the mother leaves the hospital, the doctor also recommends drinking more porridge or soup. However, some old people think that we didn't drink porridge at that time, and porridge had no nutrition at all. It is best to drink egg soup.

Women really don't need porridge, just egg soup?

During confinement, if you drink egg soup or greasy chicken soup every day, it is easy to get bored, and it is easy to affect the appetite of pregnant women and even affect the balanced intake of nutrition.

It is very necessary to drink porridge in the second month, because porridge is a liquid food, and the maternal body is weak just after giving birth, and the gastrointestinal function has not returned to normal. Drinking porridge can promote absorption and digestion.

But this porridge doesn't mean white rice porridge. There are many kinds of porridge, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, preserved egg lean meat porridge, salty bone porridge, fish porridge, beef porridge and so on. As long as you learn to cook nutrition porridge, you can not only provide nutrition for the parturient, but also replenish qi and blood and promote digestion.

In fact, we have a deep understanding of scientific confinement now, and we can't eat this and that as before. The confinement itself needs to be supplemented with nutrition to restore the body. If we follow the methods of the older generation, it will only make the nutrition unbalanced.

As a new generation of young people, it doesn't matter if you don't understand confinement, but you should know how to cherish yourself and let confinement sit well, because confinement is a woman's second "big change", and sitting well can raise your body and restore your pre-pregnancy state.
