What to eat after confinement

What is the best thing for women to eat during the confinement period? You should know that every woman will do some postpartum recovery and health care after giving birth, and the confinement period affects the physical condition and health of both women and children. Therefore, what to eat during confinement is a question that everyone is concerned about, and it is also a question that women must understand. We will introduce it in detail below.

First of all, you should eat healthily during the confinement period, and natural maintenance is the healthiest. Here are some foods that women should eat during confinement: gradually transition from liquid food to a normal diet. After delivery, it takes some time for the digestive system to recover, so you can choose some foods that are easier to digest in the first few days after delivery. You can transition from porridge and noodles to rice porridge, and then to rice and pasta.

Moreover, we need to drink brown sugar water appropriately to supplement iron and act as a diuretic. Brown sugar is high in iron, as well as a variety of trace elements and minerals, which can promote waste excretion and prevent urinary incontinence. However, drinking too much can cause new mothers to sweat more and lose salt from their bodies. Therefore, it should not be consumed for too long, and should not exceed 10 days at most. It is best to eat mainly natural foods and not take too many nutritional supplements. During the confinement period, you should mainly eat natural green foods, and try to consume less or no artificial supplements. You can also choose to consume some mother's milk powder, multivitamins or calcium tablets designed specifically for pregnant women, because mothers in confinement, especially those who are breastfeeding, need to supplement more calcium, iron, vitamins and minerals.

Another thing to note is that pregnant women’s diet should not be too light. New mothers need to drink a lot of water when they sweat after giving birth, which will lead to the loss of salt in our body. Therefore, we can add a little less salt to our meals, but we cannot eliminate salt at all. We also need to ensure the intake of calcium and iron supplements, which are very important aspects.
