What should you pay attention to in your diet after the confinement period?

We all know that pregnant women have a very hard life, so they must be fully taken care of during the confinement period, and when they are out of the confinement period, we must also pay attention to their nutrition. If some people don’t know how to arrange a diet reasonably, they can refer to the following content.

A. The most important thing about confinement meals is balanced nutrition. Mothers can ensure they take in about 100 grams of protein every day by eating more meat and eggs. Two to three eggs a day are enough, and it is best not to fry them. You can drink brown sugar water to supplement iron, but the time should not be too long, generally within 10 days. Mothers should pay attention to balanced nutrition and eat some vegetables and fruits, but avoid eating vegetables containing oxalic acid such as bamboo shoots and onions, and also avoid eating irritating vegetables. Don't eat raw or cold fruits, especially watermelon and lychee. Mothers should also consume about 6 grams of salt every day, and a small amount of salt should be added to their food.

B. Eat small and frequent meals, and avoid foods that should be avoided. After giving birth, pregnant women’s appetite will increase during the confinement period, but eating more does not necessarily mean better. You should also eat small and frequent meals. Maintain nutritional balance by having one meat, one vegetable and one soup for each meal. It is not easy to eat high-protein, high-calorie foods such as pigeons and turtles early. Foods such as ginseng, longan, and lychee can only be eaten after the lochia has been discharged.

C. It is best to cooperate with physiological functions and adopt phased dietary supplements. The first stage: The first week is the golden period for mothers to discharge lochia. At the same time, prenatal edema and excess water in the body will also be discharged at this time. Therefore, do not eat too much in the first week to avoid complete discharge of lochia. Chinese medicine practitioners recommend that expectant mothers eat more of the following foods, which are effective in increasing milk production and replenishing blood.

The above are some dietary issues that you should pay attention to after leaving the confinement period. When we see our baby being born, we must be very excited, but at this time, don’t forget that the mother also needs care very much, so I hope that everyone who has read this can start to pay attention to these issues in the future.
