As we all know, the mothers who have just given birth to their children will be very weak and need to pay special attention to nutritional supplementation. But is it really good to blindly supplement? What do new mothers need to pay attention to in their daily diet?
Doctor Xiya reminds that the mother's physical deficit in the early stage of confinement should not be largely supplemented, and it needs to be gradually arranged and then supplemented.
First of all, the entire confinement diet can be divided into three stages.
Appetizing first week after childbirth: Reject the greasy taste and be refreshing
In the first few days after childbirth, the body's various systems, including gastrointestinal function, are not fully restored, and together with the consumption of childbirth, they are often weak and weak. Therefore, the first meal after childbirth should be preferred to digestible, nutrient-rich liquid foods, and wait until the next day to eat some soft foods. 5-7 days after childbirth, rice porridge, soft rice, rotten noodles, egg soup, etc. should be the main food.
Therefore, the focus of this stage is on appetizing rather than tonic. You can also eat more oranges, grapefruit, these appetizing fruits and some light seasonal vegetables.
Blood replenishment is the second week after childbirth: eat more blood supplements and supplement vitamins
After week 1, the new mom's appetite should improve significantly. At this time, you can start to eat as much blood supplementary food as possible, regulate qi and blood and supplement vitamins. However, it is not advisable to eat a large amount of blood replenishing food, which will increase the amount of bleeding and make lochia more than once. Such as cinnamon balls, red dates, brown sugar, red beans, ginseng, etc., so it is best to eat in moderation after the lochia is reduced or cleaned.
Week 3: Milking is key.
At this time, baoma's breast ducts have basically been unblocked, and you can drink some milk soup appropriately, which is not only helpful for milking, but also not easy to get mastitis. At the same time, in order to improve the quality of breast milk and enable the baby to grow up healthily, new mothers also need to supplement foods rich in high-quality protein, DHA, vitamins and minerals, especially high-quality protein, because protein has a great help in the secretion of milk.
How to adjust the postpartum diet?
1. Don't eat too many acidic foods. It is easy to make pregnant women have indigestion, and excessive intake of acidic food leads to excessive internal fire, affecting health and mood.
2. Rehydrate at any time. Postpartum mothers like to sweat, and always feel dry mouth, no appetite, these symptoms can be better alleviated by timely hydration.
3. Eat more foods with high calcium content. During breastfeeding, the mother needs to supply the baby's growth needs through the calcium in the milk. If there is a lack of calcium, it will be prone to symptoms of waist and leg pain, loose teeth, muscle spasms, and may also lead to a decrease in the calcium content in the milk, affecting the nutrition of the baby.
4. Full intake of nutrients, it is best not to pick your mouth, be sure to do meat and vegetarian collocation.
5. Rational use of table salt. Postpartum women are not unable to touch any salt, and adding some edible salt to the dish can reduce the fatigue of mothers.
Finally, Dr. Xiya reminds you that after childbirth, you must pay attention to the necessary dietary taboos, such as hot, dry, cold, sour food, which may lead to spleen and stomach deficiency, internal organ disorders, unclean food that may lead to allergies or foods containing special ingredients, and it is more prudent to take and avoid taking!
