First, raw and cold food

Especially in summer, most parturients want to eat some cold appetizing foods, such as cold salad, iced watermelon, ice cream, frozen drinks and cold rice, but the spleen and stomach function of the new mother has not been fully recovered. Too cold diet will damage the recovery of the spleen and stomach function of the parturient, and too much cold food will easily lead to blood stasis, which can cause abdominal pain and postpartum lochia of the new mother. However, fresh fruits are not included in the "taboo".

Second, spicy and other irritating foods

Spicy food refers to seasonings such as star anise, fennel, garlic and pepper. This kind of food can affect the gastrointestinal function of lying-in women, cause internal fever of lying-in women, sores on the mouth and tongue, and cause constipation or hemorrhoids.

Third, ginseng

The new mommy should not take ginseng again within two weeks after delivery. After two weeks of delivery, the lochia has basically been discharged, and the wound of the new mother has healed. Taking some ginseng at this time will help the new mother recover physically. But don't take too much. Ginseng is hot, which will cause new mothers to get angry or cause babies to eat hot.

Fourth, salty food

After delivery, women's bodies still have a lot of excess water accumulated during pregnancy. If the postpartum food contains more salt, it will aggravate the situation of water and sodium retention in the maternal body, which is easy to cause edema and even induce hypertension. But don't avoid salt, because postpartum urine, sweat, discharge salt also increased, need to add a certain amount of salt.

Five, monosodium glutamate

New moms should avoid eating a lot of monosodium glutamate, which will be passed on to the baby through breast milk. Sodium glutamate in monosodium glutamate may lead to zinc deficiency in the baby. Generally speaking, it is beneficial and harmless for adults to eat monosodium glutamate, but it is unfavorable for infants, especially those within 12 weeks, if their mothers eat excessive monosodium glutamate while eating a high-protein diet during breastfeeding. Because sodium glutamate in monosodium glutamate will enter the baby through milk.

Six, chocolate

Chocolate can prevent postpartum depression, but it is better for pregnant women to eat less chocolate. Chocolate contains a lot of sugar, but other nutrients are insufficient. Eating it in large quantities will lead to maternal obesity. Studies have also confirmed that if you eat too much chocolate, it will have a negative impact on the development of nursing babies. This is because theobromine contained in chocolate will penetrate into breast milk and accumulate in babies, which can damage the nervous system and heart, relax muscles and increase urine output, resulting in indigestion, crying and unstable sleep for babies.

Seven, brown sugar

New mommy should never think that brown sugar has many benefits, so she always eats it fiercely, thinking that the more the better, which is wrong. Because drinking too much brown sugar water will not only damage the new mother's teeth, but also the brown sugar is warm. If the new mother drinks too much brown sugar water in summer, she will definitely accelerate sweating, make her body weaker and even suffer from heatstroke. In addition, when drinking brown sugar water, it should be boiled before drinking, and it should not be washed with boiled water, because brown sugar is easy to produce bacteria during storage and transportation, which may cause diseases.
