How long after giving birth can you eat meat?

Because women consume a lot of physical energy after giving birth and need to breastfeed their babies, their nutritional intake is very large. It is most common to supplement nutrition by eating some nourishing foods. However, there are many dietary taboos for postpartum women. After all, they have to breastfeed their children. If they eat some spicy foods, it may be harmful to the fetus. So the following is a detailed introduction on how long after giving birth you can eat meat.

Women don’t need to pay special attention to eating meat after giving birth, they can eat it at any time.

Dietary considerations for lactating mothers include the following: 1. Postpartum women who are breastfeeding need to supplement calcium in time to avoid calcium deficiency in themselves and their babies; 2. Eat a balanced diet and reasonably supplement various nutrients, including carbohydrates, high-protein foods, vegetables and fruits; 3. In addition to a normal diet, you can appropriately increase your nutritional intake, such as carp soup and pig's trotter soup.

Generally speaking, the confinement period is more particular. Try not to eat spicy or irritating foods, etc. However, you can eat meat, milk, and eggs, especially fish, which helps with milk production. Of course, you need to eat them in moderation. As for fruits and vegetables, they are indispensable.

Postpartum dietary taboos:

1. Avoid dieting immediately after giving birth

Dieting immediately after giving birth is harmful to your body. Especially breastfeeding mothers should not diet, because the weight gained after delivery is mainly water and fat, and if you breastfeed, these fats are simply not enough. A new mother needs to absorb at least 2,800 kcal of calories per day to meet her needs.

Second, pregnant women should avoid drinking brown sugar water for a long time

Drinking brown sugar water in moderation is good for both mother and baby. But drinking it for a long time is not good for the recovery of the uterus. Because 10 days after delivery, lochia gradually decreases and uterine contractions gradually return to normal. If you drink brown sugar water for a long time, the blood-activating effect of brown sugar will increase the amount of lochia, causing the mother to continue to lose blood. The best time to drink brown sugar water after delivery is generally 7 to 10 days.

3. Avoid drinking high-fat soup after childbirth

Drinking high-fat thick soup can easily affect appetite and body shape. At the same time, a high-fat diet will increase the fat content in breast milk, which will make it impossible for newborns to tolerate and absorb it and cause diarrhea. Therefore, mothers should drink low-fat, nutritious meat and vegetarian soups, such as fish soup, vegetable soup, noodle soup, etc., to meet the needs of mother and baby for various nutrients.
