But when choosing fruits, we must be based on our own physique.
For example, a mother with a cold constitution can appropriately choose some hot fruits and eat less fruits such as watermelon, grapefruit, oranges, and cantaloupe.
New mothers with a hot constitution should eat less fruits such as lychees and apples.
According to their different physical conditions, to choose the best fruit, so that not only can timely supplement nutrition, but more importantly, to promote the recovery of the body.
02. What are the benefits of a new mother eating fruit?
In fact, many mothers are also half-aware of the benefits of eating fruit, so let's take a look at it today.
First of all, eating fruit can help us recover after childbirth.
This is because there are more nutrients in the fruit, including vitamins, fiber, minerals, etc., and the new mother's body can maximize the acquisition of these nutrients, so as to recover faster.
Secondly, constipation can be prevented.
Many new mothers have postpartum constipation due to the growth and development of the fetus during pregnancy, in fact, after giving birth to the baby, they can improve the constipation by eating more fruits.
This is because the fruit is rich in fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, effectively improve gastrointestinal function, and avoid constipation.
Finally, it is to help the baby grow up healthily.
This is because fruit can maximize the appetite of new mothers, promote appetite, help milk, and better promote the healthy development and growth of babies.
03. What are the precautions for new mothers to eat fruit?
Women who have just given birth to a child, and before pregnancy, the changes in the body are huge, so things as simple as eating fruit also need us to carefully remember some precautions.
The first is not to eat fruits that are too cold and too hot.
We all know that things must be reversed, so no matter whether our constitution is cold or hot, in the choice of fruit, we can't be too cold, too hot.
And if it is breastfeeding, the fruit we eat is too cold and too hot, which will also affect the establishment of the child's intestinal flora, which is not conducive to the formation of stool.
Second, the new mother to eat fruit must be cleaned, just mentioned that the new mother's body is more delicate, fragile, so once the fruit in order to preserve freshness, the merchant added some additives, it is easy to harm the mother, so cleaning is very important.
In addition, you must not eat fruit taken directly from the refrigerator, because after all, it is cold and it is easy to hurt Baoma's body.
Third, new mothers are better off not eating fruit that is too hard.
Before women give birth, the body will secrete laxin, so just after giving birth, we will feel that the teeth become loose and weak, so at this time, we must pay attention to the protection of the teeth and do not eat hard fruits.
04. Does the new mother have time to eat fruit?
Under normal circumstances, we eat fruit before meals are better, this is because if it is eaten after meals, then there will be food blockage, then eating at this time, it will bring a burden to the digestive function, increase the feeling of fullness, and thus affect the absorption of nutrients in fruits.
So if the new mother wants to eat fruit, she can put it before the meal, and if the weather is cold, she can blanch it in boiling water.

Some people say that confinement is the second rebirth of women, although there are exaggerated components, but the confinement period since ancient times, is very important for women, whether it is diet and nutrition, or work and rest sleep, should arouse our attention.
Only by ensuring all aspects can we promote the faster recovery of the body and make women better and more beautiful after giving birth.
