They should also strengthen gastrointestinal digestion and promote sugar metabolism. The confinement diet can be found below.

2. Scientific diet for postpartum women with high blood sugar

1. Eat small and frequent meals.

Many new mothers after childbirth eat a lot of meat and fish during the confinement period, and are forced to eat a lot of nutritious foods, but in fact, new mothers after childbirth should not eat too much food at one time. Because the enlarged uterus during pregnancy presses on the mother's stomach and intestines, it takes some time for the gastrointestinal function to recover after delivery. Therefore, during the confinement period, since the gastrointestinal function has not yet recovered, you should eat small meals frequently to avoid burdening the gastrointestinal digestion. This will not only ensure that the new mother has adequate nutrition, but also give the stomach and intestines room to recover, so that the body will recover faster.

2. Combine coarse and fine foods for balanced nutrition.

When arranging confinement meals for new mothers, the principle to be implemented is a combination of coarse and fine foods and balanced nutrition. New mothers after childbirth need more nutrients and comprehensive nutrition, so the confinement meals should not be full of meat and fish all day long, but should include some coarse grains, such as millet, oats, etc. Of course, fish and meat should also be eaten, and more foods rich in calcium and iron should be eaten, which can promote the replenishment of bone calcium and replenish blood and qi for new mothers. In addition to fish, meat and whole grains during the confinement period, vegetables and fruits are also indispensable. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can supplement the vitamin content in breast milk and improve the baby's resistance. The fiber in vegetables can also help new mothers promote digestion and prevent constipation.

3. Replenish appropriate amount of water.

During the childbirth process, women will sweat a lot no matter what method is used. New mothers will often sweat due to the accelerated metabolism after childbirth. They also have to breastfeed their babies, and most of the breast milk is still water. Therefore, new mothers should drink some water appropriately after giving birth. If you don’t like drinking water, drinking soup is also a good choice.
