Avoid these dietary misunderstandings and supplement pregnant women with multivitamins to help you have a better confinement

Confinement is an established custom of the Chinese people, and confinement meals are an important source of recuperation for mothers. By mastering the principles of balanced nutrition, you can eat nutritiously and healthily during the confinement period. Confinement is very important for both mothers and babies. Elders often ask us to follow the ancient methods, but are the ancient methods really correct?

1. Drink too much brown sugar water

Brown sugar can nourish qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach for pregnant women. It can help supplement carbohydrates, promote the discharge of lochia, and help the uterus to reset. However, drinking too much brown sugar water is not a good thing for pregnant women. It will not only damage their teeth, but also cause excessive sweating, making the body weaker. Drinking too much brown sugar water will increase the amount of blood in the lochia, which will cause anemia.

2. Eating gas-inducing foods after cesarean section

Nowadays, many people choose cesarean section, which is more convenient, but it will stimulate the intestinal muscles, damage intestinal function, and slow down intestinal peristalsis. If you eat too much milk, sugar, soybeans, starch and other foods right after the operation, these foods will promote intestinal gas production, cause abdominal distension in the mother, and are not conducive to wound healing.

3. Drinking tea

Tea should not be consumed during confinement. This is because tea contains tannic acid, which will combine with iron in food and affect the intestinal absorption of iron, thus causing anemia in the mother. Tea also contains caffeine, which will stimulate the brain and make it difficult for people to fall asleep, affecting the mother's sleep. Caffeine enters the baby's body through breast milk and can also cause the baby to cry.

4. Drink lots of soup

In order to help mothers recover as soon as possible after childbirth, many people will stew a lot of nutritious soups during the confinement period, such as crucian carp soup, pig's trotter soup, pork rib soup, chicken soup, etc. In fact, even after a long time of stewing, the nutrition in the soup is not richer than meat, and the fat content in the soup is also relatively high. If mothers drink too much, it will easily cause obesity, and the fat amount in breast milk will also increase. The digestive function of the newborn is not yet complete, and drinking this kind of breast milk will affect the stomach and intestines.

Excessive tonic

During the confinement period, you should also take proper amounts of tonic food. For example, ginseng supplements contain ginsenosides, which have a cardiotonic and stimulating effect, which will affect your rest after childbirth. Foods such as fish are rich in organic acid EPA, which has the effect of inhibiting platelet aggregation and is not conducive to postoperative hemostasis and wound healing. Try to eat them in small amounts within two weeks after childbirth.

The above are some common dietary misconceptions during the confinement period. So what should the correct diet be like during the confinement period?

Nourishing the body does not mean eating a lot of fish and meat. A proper diet is very important after childbirth. Scientific data shows that you should eat small meals frequently after childbirth, and the menu should also consider nutritional balance. Try not to be picky about food, especially to consume more protein and vitamins.

In addition to being one of the three major energy sources for the human body, protein is also an important component of all cells and tissues in the human body. It is very helpful in helping postpartum women recover and improving their body's immunity.

Vitamins are indispensable nutrients for the human body. After giving birth, the vitamins in the mother's body will be seriously affected, and the baby's nutrition is also obtained through breast milk. The vitamin demand after childbirth is more than twice that of non-pregnant women. It is difficult to get enough vitamins from food alone. Mothers can take a moderate amount of By-Health multivitamin tablets designed for them.
