Many new mothers are also looking forward to recovering their figure immediately after giving birth, so they especially work diet, hoping to restore their pre-pregnancy slimness. However, postpartum recovery is a gradual process, and improper methods are not only detrimental to recovery, but also have adverse effects on maternal health and breastfeeding. If you want to eat well in the confinement, these 3 major misunderstandings about the confinement meal, none of them can be touched:
1. Confinement meal supplement special supplement
This situation is common in the elderly to take care of the confinement, they will generally advise the mother to eat more, especially the pig's foot soup, the old hen soup or the wine stuffed eggs. But in fact, these high-nutrient, high-fat, high-sugar dishes are not recommended for the first week after childbirth, otherwise it will affect lochia discharge, cause tooth decay or cause fat accumulation.
2. Low calorie weight loss, try to eat less
In addition to exercise, many pregnant women tend to count calories when eating, vegetables and fruits are low in calories and buried in their heads, and staple foods, meat, and dairy products are absolutely not touched when they are high in calories. In fact, the postpartum diet should be comprehensive and scientific, and women should not be picky and partial. Dieting that lacks protein and fat will lead to no milk, and if you eat cool vegetables and fruits during the confinement period, it will also affect the mother's constitution.
3. Eat vegetables in the month, the lighter the better
In the past, many people believed that pregnant women could not eat salt in the first few days after childbirth, otherwise it would cause body puffiness and let the milk also be mixed with salt, affecting the health of the baby. However, the mother sweats more after childbirth, and the sodium in the body is lost a lot, so although the confinement meal needs to be light, it must be appropriately supplemented with salt.
