Can I take calcium tablets during the confinement period?

Women who have been pregnant know that there are many important points to pay attention to during the confinement period, otherwise it will leave a root of illness, which is definitely not worth the loss. Many women who have just given birth have a question in their minds, that is, can they take calcium tablets during the confinement period? We have also consulted professionals about this, let’s listen to what they say! I hope the following introduction can help everyone.

In fact, there is no need for the mother to be so "grand" in her confinement period. If she gives birth naturally, she can actually get out of bed and move around after giving birth. In terms of diet, postpartum women should not eat too refined food, because if the food is cooked too finely, it may cause loss of nutrition. Secondly, eating only refined grains, eggs, milk and other too refined foods can easily lead to constipation in postpartum women.

Therefore, on the basis of ensuring a certain amount of grain, you should eat a combination of coarse and fine grains and eat more fiber-rich foods, because the crude fiber in coarse grains can lower cholesterol; and the fiber in vegetables can promote intestinal peristalsis, which is not only beneficial for digestion but also can prevent constipation.

In addition, to ensure that the mother's nutrition is comprehensive, a normal diet is sufficient; if you want the mother to have sufficient milk, you can eat more dairy products and protein-rich foods, but do not ignore fresh vegetables and fruits. In addition, mothers who drink fish soup to increase their milk supply should not just drink the soup without eating the fish. You should know that the nutrition in the soup is limited after all, while the fish is rich in gelatinous fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis.

In addition, although my country has always had the habit of eating eggs to increase milk production, medical research shows that it is best for mothers not to eat eggs within a few hours after giving birth. Because during the delivery process, the mother consumes a lot of physical energy, sweats a lot, and lacks body fluids, her digestive ability will also decrease. If you eat eggs immediately after giving birth, they will be difficult to digest and will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

Therefore, semi-liquid or liquid food should be eaten within a few hours after delivery. It is recommended to drink some brown sugar water, because brown sugar contains higher nutritional value and richer minerals and trace elements.

So how can we supplement it with diet?
