After Xiaoyue gave birth to her child, she began an unforgettable "eating egg" experience.
For a whole month, Xiaoyue claimed to have eaten all the eggs in her life, so much so that, twenty years later, she was still quite resistant to eating eggs.
In fact, in our country, there are still too many mothers who suffer from the "pain" of "eating eggs" during their "confinement period".
Someone asked: I know eggs are nutritious, but no matter how nutritious they are, I can’t eat them for a month.
In fact, this tradition of "eating eggs during confinement" originated from the past when people did not have access to more nutrients.
In those times when supplies were scarce, women in confinement needed a large amount of nutritional supplies. Even eggs might have to be collected by several families one by one.
But this habit became a custom and was passed down.
Only then did modern people experience confinement and being tricked into eating more than a dozen eggs every day.
However, times have changed, and there are quite a few foods we can eat that have the same nutritional content as eggs.
We no longer need to worry about eggs, but can provide nutrition to mothers in various ways.
For example, if the following three foods are eaten by postpartum women, they will not only get more nutrients, but also provide more adequate milk for the baby.
1. Millet As the first choice of food for nourishing the stomach and maintaining health, postpartum women should eat more millet. This has been the case since ancient times.
Although millet belongs to the category of whole grains, it is more suitable for the absorption and digestion of our body than other whole grains, and it also has the effect of replenishing qi and blood.
For women whose organs are recovering after childbirth, women who are weak and women who have heavy postpartum bleeding are both advantages.
With it, we don’t have to eat so many eggs a day. Isn’t it best to eat them with millet?
2. Lotus root. Originally, it was not easy to eat lotus root in the Northeast, but times have changed. There are only things on the market that we can’t imagine, and there is no delicacy that we can’t buy.
Therefore, if we see lotus roots, we must buy them for our mothers to eat.
Because it is not only beneficial to postpartum women’s milk production, but also has beauty and beauty effects!
We can’t think of more delicacies that can satisfy both of these, right?
3. Fish and red beans. If they can be eaten together, it is highly recommended. The dish is steamed mandarin fish and the staple red bean porridge.
The former has the effects of delaying aging, antioxidant, diuresis and replenishing deficiency. In addition, it has the effect of stopping bleeding and activating blood circulation.
As for the latter, it is rich in iron, which is the basis for blood replenishment. All women after giving birth are suffering from ischemia and calcium deficiency to varying degrees, and red beans can supplement both of these aspects.

Yes, red beans also have the ability to pass through breast milk, and can also help breastfeeding mothers eliminate the feeling of fullness.
In addition to the above three foods, we can focus on eating more, but at the same time, don’t forget to occasionally intersperse some other foods. As long as they can help us eliminate lochia, repair tissues, and enhance physical fitness, they are the most appropriate foods during confinement.
