All novice mothers know that confinement is a critical period for recuperating the body, and confinement diet is the top priority.
Many people know that confinement recipes require more nutrition and are more about matching than daily recipes, but it is unclear what the best confinement recipes are like.
Let's start with food taboos during confinement.
What are the dietary taboos during confinement? Taboo 1 for postpartum diet: Avoid eating cold, raw and cold foods. After childbirth, the new mother is relatively weak. If she does not pay attention to her diet, it will be detrimental to postpartum recovery.
If there is raw and cold food in the postpartum diet, it will not be conducive to the recovery of the maternal blood and blood, may also easily lead to digestive and absorption dysfunction, and is not conducive to the discharge of congestion and lochia.
Especially in the summer, one should avoid eating ice cream, drinking ice water, and fruits and vegetables taken out of the refrigerator should be eaten only when they are warm.
Additionally, fruits like watermelon and pears should not be consumed.
Taboo 2: Avoid eating stimulating and spicy foods. Spicy food can cause content and make the new mother too weak, which can lead to symptoms such as mouth sores, constipation and even hemorrhoids.
Moreover, spicy and stimulating food can also cause the baby to get angry through milk.
Therefore, avoid eating peppers, leeks, fennel, alcohol and other foods and seasonings.
Avoid spicy, stimulating and raw, cold and cool ingredients in the recipe for confinement. Taboo 3: Avoid big tonic food. Some people think that food with big tonic food is needed to help the mother recover quickly. In fact, big tonic food after confinement is not appropriate.
Because individual physiques vary, post-natal nutritional needs will also vary.
Appropriate supplements are indeed conducive to postpartum recovery, but excessive supplements are not conducive to health.
Even if you only take Chinese angelica, American ginseng, astragalus and other medicinal materials that enrich blood and qi, it is best to wait until postpartum lochia is eliminated before taking them. Otherwise, the blood circulation effect of these medicinal materials will increase the situation of postpartum hemorrhage.
Additionally, there is a substance in longan that can inhibit uterine contractions. Overconsumption of longan prematurely or excessively may not facilitate the expulsion of postpartum blood stasis.
The function of the maternity diet in the postpartum period. What are the benefits of the maternity diet for the new mother? The maternity diet should contain a blood-enriching component.
In the postpartum diet plan, foods that can replenish iron are recommended for women who have lost a significant amount of blood during childbirth. This includes lean meats, animal liver, and spinach.
In the maternity diet, there should be foods that help with calcium absorption.
Eating more calcium-containing foods can increase the calcium content in milk and is very beneficial to the development of your baby's bones and teeth.
Eggs, milk, and soy products are not only rich in protein, but also a large amount of calcium, which can be added to postpartum recipes.
Recipes for confinement need to have the effect of lowering milk and smoothing milk.
During the confinement period, it is also the beginning of the lactation period. At this stage, the mother needs to milk and open up the breast.
Therefore, a portion of the postpartum diet will have this effect.
Pig's trotters, crucian carp, etc., all have a good effect on reducing milk.
Making soup or cooking with this kind of food can promote appetite and secrete milk.
Postpartum recipes need to have a laxative effect.
Pregnant women need to stay in bed for a long time, and they dare not use force to defecate due to injuries during childbirth, so they are prone to a situation of secret bowel movements.
In confinement recipes, traditional Chinese medicine contains fresh vegetables and fruits to achieve the effect of relaxing the intestines.
Caesarean section confinement recipes diet recommendations Caesarean section confinement recipes have more matters to pay attention to. New mothers who have cesarean section have more requirements in their confinement diet than new mothers who have natural labor, especially after 6 hours after delivery. Some liquid foods that help exhaust gas can help restore gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote exhaust gas and reduce abdominal distension, such as millet brown sugar porridge, radish soup, tangerine peel porridge, etc.
Since exhaust gas is needed, it is best to eat less or not eat gas-producing foods that can easily cause abdominal distension.
For example, soy milk, soybeans, milk, starch foods, etc.
In addition, the postpartum recipe for caesarean section also plays the role of helping the maternal wound heal.
Liver is the best solid food for post-delivery women, which can help expel lochia and nourish the blood.
Additionally, fish and vitamin C can help wounds heal.
Finally, it should also be remembered that gastrointestinal function can only be restored about 24 hours after caesarean section. After gastrointestinal function is restored, give liquid food, such as egg soup and rice soup, for 1 day, and avoid milk, soy milk, large amounts of sugar and other flatulence food.
After intestinal gas is exhausted, switch to semi-liquid foods such as porridge, noodle soup, wonton, etc. for 1-2 days, and then switch to a normal diet.
From the above introduction, I believe that novice mothers and expectant mothers have already understood the role and importance of confinement recipes.
If you want to recuperate well and provide high-quality "food rations" to your baby, mothers and relatives around you must work hard on the confinement diet.
