New mothers expend a lot of energy and physical strength during childbirth, plus they lose blood, and they have to breastfeed after delivery, so they need to supplement a lot of iron. Brown sugar water is very suitable for the first meal after delivery. It can not only promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but also replenish blood and promote the discharge of postpartum lochia. But you can't drink too much brown sugar water over time. It will be harmful to your body instead of beneficial.

Postpartum lochia can cause menstrual blood stasis, and eating brown sugar can help promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. However, most of them are first-time mothers, and their uterine contractions are generally good. The color and amount of lochia are generally normal. If you consume brown sugar for too long, it will increase the amount of lochia, leading to chronic hemorrhagic anemia, and it will affect the recovery of the uterus and the health of the mother. Generally speaking, it is best to drink brown sugar water for 7 to 10 days after delivery, and then you should eat more nutritious and diverse foods.

The total daily calorie intake of a new breastfeeding mother is about 1/3 more than that before pregnancy. This 1/3 can be 100 grams of meat, 1 cup of milk and half a steamed bun, or it can be 1 bowl of thick chicken soup, 1 egg and 1 serving of vegetable fried rice.

In addition, if the gastrointestinal digestion function is better after delivery, you can start eating eggs from the second meal after delivery, such as boiled eggs, steamed egg custard, and poached eggs. You can eat them in different ways. Because the nutrients rich in eggs can help new mothers restore their strength, maintain the health of the nervous system and reduce depression. Eating 2 to 3 eggs a day is enough, and it is best to divide them into two meals.

Millet is rich in vitamin B1 and vitamin B2, and is also high in dietary fiber. You should eat more millet after giving birth. It can help new mothers recover their strength, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, and increase appetite. However, millet porridge should not be cooked too thin, and millet should not be the staple food during the confinement period.

After giving birth, female friends should not only eat some nourishing foods appropriately, but also ensure adequate rest, so that the body can recover better. They can also do some postpartum gymnastics or suitable postpartum yoga at appropriate time, which is very beneficial for physical recovery and can also enhance the body's immunity.
