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

Because food was scarce in the past, everyone's food was basically grown or raised in their own homes, but more often, the livestock they raised were not for other things or for holidays. The best source of nutrition for women in ordinary families is eggs.

However, with the improvement of living standards, pregnant women have a great choice of food to eat in confinement, even if they are at worst, they still have meat to eat.

It's easy to get tired of eating meat all the time. In addition to chicken and eggs, in fact, when the parturient is discharged from 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 has no nutrition at all. It's better to drink egg soup.

Do women really don't need porridge, just egg soup?

During confinement, it is easy to get bored if you drink egg soup or greasy chicken soup every day, which will also easily 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 does not refer to 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 and beef porridge. As long as you learn to cook nutrition porridge, you can provide nutrition for the parturient, but also replenish qi and blood and promote digestion.

In fact, we now have a deep understanding of scientific confinement, and we can't eat this or 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 know how to confinement, but you should know how to cherish yourself and let your 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.
