What are the methods for breastfeeding women with Qi and blood deficiency?

Pregnant women with qi and blood deficiency will have poor physical condition, weak body resistance, and poor digestive function, all of which will affect their normal health.

People with Yin deficiency are often thin and tall, with reddish complexion, irritable personality, dry mouth and throat, prefer cold drinks, feel hot in limbs or hands and feet, have constipation, and short, red urine.

Postpartum women are deficient in qi and blood, so their diet should be nutritious and easy to absorb, and they can have 4 to 5 meals a day, which should be warming and nourishing. Do not overeat greasy, cold, or spicy foods to avoid damaging the spleen and stomach and affecting qi, blood, and breast milk. Drinking more soup and fresh fruits can keep your bowels and bladder smooth. Joint pain is also prone to occur after childbirth, which is more common in the cold and humid seasons of winter and spring. Although October in the new calendar is not winter, you should still pay attention to keeping your limbs warm after childbirth. You can take ginger soup, ginger vinegar, and wine in moderation to warm the blood and dispel wind and cold.
