In China, women have a traditional habit of confinement after giving birth. This is because childbirth consumes a lot of physical strength and energy, and family members usually prepare nourishing food to help them recover. As a common tonic, chicken is deeply loved by people because of its fresh and tender texture and delicious taste. However, pregnant women should pay attention to some problems when choosing chicken as nourishing food.

Choose rooster

On postpartum 10- 15 days, when milk secretion is sufficient, it is a good choice to eat rooster stew in moderation. Male chicken is tender and nutritious, and will not affect the normal function of prolactin.

Be careful to eat hens.

Hens' ovaries contain estrogen. Eating stewed hens too early may increase the level of estrogen in the body, affect the normal function of prolactin, and lead to insufficient milk secretion. Therefore, pregnant women need to be cautious when choosing chicken as nourishing food.

Moderate consumption

While enjoying delicious food, pregnant women also need to pay attention to moderate consumption. Excessive consumption of chicken will lead to protein overdose, which will increase the burden on kidneys and affect health.

pay attention to the diet

Maternal diet will be passed on to the baby through breast milk, so we should pay attention to avoid spicy and irritating food, so as not to affect the baby's health.
