1. Don’t be greedy for cold and raw food

Most mothers after childbirth are weak and have low blood circulation, so they need to eat warm and nourishing foods to restore their strength. If you eat cold and raw food after giving birth, it will not be conducive to the recovery of qi and blood, and it will easily lead to spleen and stomach digestion and absorption dysfunction, and it will not be conducive to the discharge of lochia and the removal of blood stasis.

2. Don’t eat spicy food

Eating spicy foods, such as chili peppers, during breastfeeding will not only aggravate qi and blood deficiency and easily lead to constipation, but it will also be bad for the baby after entering the breast milk. Stimulating foods, such as alcohol, strong tea, coffee, etc., will affect sleep and gastrointestinal function and inhibit milk secretion. These foods will also have an impact on the baby when they enter the baby's body.

3. Don’t eat too much salty food

Too salty food, such as pickled foods, contains too much salt, which can easily cause water retention in the mother and also affect the baby's taste. However, it does not mean that you cannot eat any salt after giving birth. Because you urinate more and sweat more, you excrete more salt. You need to supplement a certain amount of salt to maintain electrolyte balance. You should also add a small amount of salt when cooking and making soup.

4. Don’t eat too much hard food that is difficult to digest

The gastrointestinal function of the postpartum woman is weak, and she does not exercise much. If she still eats hard, fried, greasy and fatty foods, it will be difficult for her to digest and absorb, and it may easily lead to indigestion and breed hemorrhoids. It will also make the breast milk greasy and affect the baby's digestion.

5. Don’t overeat

The gastrointestinal function of postpartum women is relatively poor, and eating too much will hinder their digestive function. Even if you have a small appetite, new mothers should limit their intake. It is best to eat small and frequent meals, 5-6 meals a day.
