I believe everyone knows that there is a very important period after giving birth, which is the confinement period. The confinement period is also a period for the mother to replenish her body. There are many taboos during the confinement period, whether it is life or diet. Many mothers want to eat watermelon because of the hot weather. So, can mothers eat watermelon during the confinement period? What effect will eating watermelon have on the body of a pregnant woman? The fruits you eat during the confinement period should be rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, which can fully meet the needs of the mother and the newborn. For example, apples, fresh oranges, and bananas. If it is summer, you can eat watermelon. Eating watermelon in moderation will not hurt the spleen and stomach, and it can also promote appetite, which is good for your health. However, don't eat too much, because watermelon is cold in nature. During the confinement period, the mother is weak and should not eat too much. It is better to eat less. Although you can eat watermelon during the confinement period, it is important to remind you that you should not eat iced watermelon during the confinement period. Because the gastrointestinal mucosa in the postpartum period is particularly sensitive to cold stimulation. Overly cold food can cause gastrointestinal cramps, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms, and may even affect uterine contraction, causing excessive lochia or poor discharge. Because watermelon is a cold food, if you feed your baby with milk after eating too much, the baby will easily have diarrhea. You can eat a small amount when the weather is hot.The above is the relevant content about whether mothers can eat watermelon during confinement period. After giving birth, the mother's body functions have not yet fully recovered, and watermelon is a cold fruit, so it will definitely have a certain impact on the mother's body. Therefore, it is not recommended for mothers to eat watermelon during the confinement period. If you really can’t help it, try not to eat frozen watermelon. |
