What are the precautions and diet after childbirth?

Regardless of whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, women will suffer great harm during the process of giving birth. If it is a natural birth, it will leave wounds on the uterus and belly, so it is easy to experience wound pain after delivery. If it is a natural birth, the vagina will be damaged to varying degrees. Some women even need an episiotomy to give birth, which will also leave wounds in the vagina. Therefore, you must pay attention to relevant matters after meals and master the correct dietary principles.

Postpartum precautions and diet:

Now on average there are babies born in every city. With the arrival of the baby, the mother's body is very weak and she sweats all the time. You cannot eat right after giving birth, just like you can start eating liquid food two days after a caesarean section. If it is a natural birth, you can start eating on the same day.

Today, I will tell mothers in advance how to replenish their bodies after giving birth and what foods they can eat after giving birth. All mothers who have given birth need to observe the confinement period after childbirth. The so-called confinement period is actually a recovery process for the mother's reproductive system. Sometimes the mother needs to breastfeed the baby during her recovery, so special attention should be paid during this process. If you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period, you will suffer from confinement diseases when you leave. Whether it is a caesarean section or a natural birth, mothers' bodies will experience some changes after giving birth.

Therefore, mothers should pay attention to the following points during the confinement period. 1: During confinement, the room temperature should be kept at around 25 degrees. 2: The room where the mother lives after giving birth must be kept ventilated and cannot be closed all the time, so you must pay attention to the house when the weather is good. 3: During the confinement period, doctors will tell mothers when they can take a bath. They can use warm water to bathe, but not a tub bath. 4: Mothers should pay more attention to their diet during the confinement period. They should avoid irritating and cold foods. 5: In terms of daily life, you must keep yourself clean and hygienic. You need to brush your teeth, take a shower, and wash your hair every day, but the water temperature cannot be too low. You must use a hair dryer to dry your hair after washing it. (Moms who had a caesarean section should take note that they should wait a little more than a month after the caesarean section before they can start taking a bath.)

Postpartum mothers need to take good care of their own bodies and have enough breast milk for their children. The quality of breast milk is closely related to the mother's diet. If mothers want to maintain sufficient breast milk, they must ensure daily nutritional intake. Only when you eat well and have enough nutrition can you give your baby high-quality breast milk. Now let me tell you what mothers need to drink when they are recovering from childbirth and breastfeeding their children.

The first dish is brown sugar millet porridge. How to make brown sugar millet porridge: rinse the millet with water, put it in the pot, add appropriate amount of water and start cooking. Roll the millet for a little longer, until it becomes thick, then add brown sugar when serving. Brown sugar millet porridge can not only replenish qi and blood but also produce milk. It can be drunk on the day after delivery. (This is suitable for mothers who give birth naturally. Mothers who give birth by caesarean section must wait until the baby is ventilated before drinking it.)

The second dish was lotus root and peanut soup. Lotus root and peanut soup is a beauty-enhancing food that mothers can eat about 2 weeks or half a month after giving birth. The method of making lotus root and peanut soup is: wash the lotus root and cut it into small pieces, peel the peanuts, take out the wok and put appropriate amount of oil in the wok. After the oil is hot, you can add lotus root pieces and peanuts and stir-fry. After stir-frying for a while, add water and cook in the pot for a while. After cooking, add a small amount of salt. This lotus root and peanut soup not only replenishes iron and blood, but also helps produce milk.

The last dish is rice soup with sesame seeds, which is something I have never heard of among the older generation. They say that if you don’t have enough milk or no milk after giving birth, you should drink rice soup with sesame seeds. The method of making rice soup with sesame seeds is: use a spoon to take half a spoon of rice, add water to the rice, put it in a pot and start cooking until the rice is cooked. After cooking, take out the soup and set it aside. Then put it in a wok, put it into the dry pot without adding oil, pour in sesame seeds, turn the heat to low and stir-fry, then sprinkle brown sugar evenly and start to simmer slowly on low heat. Then serve the soup, sprinkle sesame and brown sugar on it, stir evenly and you can start drinking it.
