New Mommy's Dining Order

In the first few days after delivery, the gastrointestinal function of the new mommy has not returned to normal, and the food should not be too greasy. It is better to eat light, digestible and nutritious food.

Because at this time, most of the new mammy's mammary ducts are not completely unobstructed, so don't drink lactagogue's soup in a hurry. If you eat a lot of tonic, the milk will get stuck in the breast and you won't get out. Plus, the baby eats less, and the sucking power is small. The breast expansion period in the first two or three days after delivery may make you want to cry.

Fourth, several matters needing attention in postpartum tonic

1, avoid drinking a lot of soup too early.

It is ok to drink tonic soup properly, but if the baby just landed, it will make the new mother drink a lot of soup, which will easily make the new mother secrete a lot of milk. However, the newborn baby has a small stomach capacity, poor sucking power and eats less. Too much milk will stagnate in the mammary duct, leading to breast swelling, which will not only cause the new mother pain, but also affect normal breastfeeding. If the situation is serious, it may lead to acute mastitis.

2, avoid drinking a lot of boiled water

Generally, new mothers usually have edema at the end of pregnancy, and confinement is the best time for women to rejuvenate. During this time, all the water accumulated in the body should be discharged as much as possible. If the new mother drinks too much water, it will not be conducive to physical recovery.

The new mother who has just given birth to a child has great energy and physical strength consumption, so she needs to stay in bed. If she takes ginseng at this time, she will find it difficult to sleep because of excitement, which will affect her energy recovery. Therefore, new mothers should not take ginseng within one week after giving birth.
