Hen contains a certain amount of estrogen, and consuming a large amount of hen within 7-10 days after delivery may increase the estrogen content in the mother’s body, while inhibiting the secretion of prolactin, resulting in insufficient milk. It is recommended to consume hen after 10 days of delivery, when milk is more adequate, to improve maternal resistance and strengthen the body. As maternal body is relatively weak after childbirth, it needs to supplement a lot of nutrition to maintain its own needs and those of the baby. But because most of the postpartum maternal gastrointestinal digestive function is temporarily weak, and hen is relatively fatty, if you eat hen too early, maternal may not be digested and absorbed properly, plus hen contains a certain amount of estrogen, may also affect the secretion of milk, but not conducive to maternal recovery, but also not conducive to the baby to get enough breast milk. Generally about 10 days after giving birth, the digestive function of the mother can gradually return to normal, moderate consumption of old hen will help promote recovery. In addition, it should also be noted that during the menstrual period, you should not eat spicy, cold food, should eat more warm food, conducive to the discharge of dew and remove blood.
