How long after giving birth can you eat cold drinks? Don't eat too early

Before pregnancy, female friends cannot avoid eating cold drinks, but they cannot eat cold drinks for a long time after pregnancy or even after giving birth, especially in summer when the weather is relatively hot and humid. The confinement period is even more irritable. Various taboos can really make mothers feel suffocated. So how long after giving birth can you eat cold drinks? Let us find out together.

1. It is best to eat it after the confinement period. According to scientific theory, women's bodies are in a state of deficiency of qi and blood after giving birth, so they should eat more warm and nourishing foods, which will be very effective in restoring the body's qi and blood. If you eat raw or cold food during the confinement period, it will not help replenish the qi and blood in your body. It may easily lead to spleen and stomach digestion and absorption disorders, and it will not be conducive to the discharge of blood stasis.

2. Moreover, some raw and cold foods have not been sterilized at high temperatures and may contain bacteria. If eaten during the confinement period, it may easily cause gastroenteritis in the mother. During the confinement period in summer, if the mother sweats a lot and feels particularly thirsty, she can drink mung bean soup and tomatoes, or eat some fruits to cool off. However, she should stay away from ice cream, frozen drinks, etc.

3. Gradually transition from liquid food to normal diet. After delivery, it takes some time for the digestive system to recover, so you can choose some foods that are easier to digest in the first few days after delivery. You can transition from porridge and noodles to rice porridge, and then to rice and pasta.

4. Eat small meals frequently. Whether it is during pregnancy or the confinement period, you should follow the principle of eating small meals frequently, and remember not to overeat. Because new mothers' bodies are still very weak during the confinement period, and their gastrointestinal functions have not fully recovered. If you overeat at this time, it can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort and indigestion.
