Therefore, your postpartum diet should pay attention to balanced nutrition and easy digestion. Usually you can eat small meals frequently, establish a regular routine, and eat less raw and cold foods. The types of food you consume every day will also affect the secretion and quality of breast milk. Therefore, you need to eat five major nutrients every day, including carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. You should also pay special attention to the absorption of calcium and iron, which can be obtained from milk, soy products, lean meat, blood products, liver, etc. Of course, some commonly used lactation recipes are also helpful.

2. During breastfeeding, it is also very important to replenish enough water in time. Since you easily feel thirsty when breastfeeding, you can keep a cup of warm water on hand to replenish water at any time, or drink more fish soup, chicken soup, fresh milk, warm fruit juice and other soup drinks. Only when water is adequately replenished can the milk supply be both sufficient and nutritious. If you're in a rush to lose weight in order to get back in shape, you may end up with insufficient milk supply. Therefore, it is better not to rush to control your diet to lose weight. In fact, breastfeeding will consume a lot of your calories. As long as you don’t eat too much and do some postpartum exercise, you can avoid fat accumulation.

3. It is best to let your baby suck your nipple as soon as possible, within half an hour after birth. Because the baby's sucking reflex is strongest about 20 to 30 minutes after birth. At this time, the baby most wants and needs to suck your nipple. Early sucking has many benefits for both you and your baby. Early sucking can help the baby eliminate the tension and stimulation he endured during the delivery process, adapt to the new environment more quickly, and also allow him to eat precious colostrum. Early sucking not only helps you to produce milk smoothly, but also helps the uterus to contract, reduce postpartum bleeding, and speed up the recovery of the uterus after delivery.
