How should a new mother eat? Actually, there is no standard answer to this matter. The actual fact is that every woman’s body condition is different, the climate conditions and eating habits of each place are also different, so there is no need to get stuck on a precise recipe, just know some basic principles, and then eat according to digestive capacity and their favorite taste. This is actually quite important, because only when the mother eats the food she likes, she will feel good, and the mood is good, which is more conducive to lactation. The first thing that I would like to do is to summarize the principles of the postpartum diet, which is: soft, thin, mixed. 1, soft: best to fine soft mainly refers to the days just after the birth, the maternal body is weak, poor digestive capacity, it is appropriate to eat very easy to digest food, semi-liquid or soft food, eat less fried, hard food. For example, millet porridge, brown rice porridge, soft noodles, etc. are suitable. After a few days, the basic recovery of maternal digestive capacity, you can eat normally. 2, thin: more water Lactation of breastfeeding mothers need to consume a lot of water, in addition, new mothers sweat more, the evaporation of water from the body surface is also greater than usual, the body will easily be dehydrated, so it becomes especially important to replenish water, it not only helps to relieve fatigue, excretion of waste, but also can make sufficient milk, it is recommended to drink 3 to 4 cups of water, milk, soy milk or soup more than usual every day. However, when drinking soup, it is not recommended to drink the layer of oil on top of the soup because it is fat and it is best to remove it before drinking it, otherwise the fat will grow on the mother and the baby will be easily obese, and if the fat content in the milk is too much, it will not be easily absorbed by the baby and will cause diarrhea in the newborn. Mom in pregnancy has stored enough fat, just when breastfeeding can be used, because the diet of fats and energy is not enough, the body will automatically take out some fat, secreted into the milk supply to the baby, so breastfeeding mothers rest assured that good, breastfeeding will not be detrimental to the body, but conducive to the recovery of the body. 3, miscellaneous: meat and vegetables with a variety of species For postpartum mothers, the most needed nutrition is protein, vitamins and minerals. According to the food sources of these nutrients, the postpartum diet should focus on a balanced diet, not only to ensure the supply of meat, fish, eggs, milk, but also to consume sufficient vegetables, fruits, and coarse grains. In some places, mothers are not allowed to eat fruits and vegetables during the menstruation period, which is very inhumane for mothers, because the dietary fiber intake is too little is easy to constipation, the mother will be very painful. Afraid to eat cold? Vegetables cooked and eaten are perfectly fine. In addition, coarse grains and fine grains should be eaten together, such as millet, corn, brown rice, they contain several times more vitamins than refined rice and flour, especially vitamin B1, which can promote lactation. In the past, northerners drank millet porridge, in fact, there is a very scientific reason, millet in the vitamin B1 and iron, exactly what the mother needs. The best way to cook is also to use more steam, stew, stew, boil, and less frying, frying methods.
