Should pregnant women take a lot of supplements after giving birth?

　　Things to note during confinement:

　　one, Postpartum It is not advisable to take heavy supplements in the first and second weeks

　　The main goal in the 1st and 2nd weeks after delivery is to "digest water and reduce swelling" so that lochia can be eliminated. Therefore, you must not take large amounts of supplements. The correct concept of supplementation is: remove lochia first, then replenish qi and blood. The more lochia, the less it can be replenished. In the first two weeks, because the lochia has not been eliminated, it is not advisable to take supplements. The focus of the diet should be on promoting metabolism and expelling excess water from the body. In the first week, you can eat sesame oil pork liver or pork liver (suitable for eating in the morning and noon), yam pork ribs soup, red dates and white fungus soup to help Uterus Remove lochia and other waste products； You can drink some egg soup, fish soup and other lighter soups ； You can also eat light meat foods, such as sliced ​​meat and minced meat. Lean beef, chicken, fish, etc. are stir-fried with fresh vegetables for a refreshing taste and balanced nutrition. Appropriate amounts of oranges, grapefruits, kiwis and other fruits also have an appetizing effect. The focus at this stage is on appetizing rather than nourishing. Only when you have a good appetite will the food be tasty and absorbed. In the second week, use sesame oil pork loin, peanut stewed pork trotters, fish soup, etc. to activate blood circulation and prevent back pain. In addition, add 2000-2500 ml of water every day. By the 3rd and 4th week, the lochia will disappear and enter the tonic period. Add rice wine appropriately when cooking to promote blood circulation and help restore physical strength.

　　2. It is best to drink less oily soup. If there is too much oil in the soup, the amount of fat in the milk will also increase. The digestive function of newborns is not yet complete. Too much fat in the milk may cause your Baby has diarrhea。

　　3. Brown sugar should generally not be consumed for more than 10 days: Since brown sugar contains much more glucose than white sugar, drinking brown sugar will warm the whole body of the mother. The high iron content in brown sugar can replenish the mother's blood. Brown sugar contains a variety of trace elements and minerals, which can be a diuretic, prevent and treat postpartum urinary incontinence, and promote the discharge of lochia. Brown sugar also has the effects of lactation and pain relief. But don’t eat too much. Generally, it shouldn’t be consumed for more than 10 days. Excessive time will increase bloody lochia, and in summer, the mother will sweat more and lose less salt in her body. If a mother drinks too much brown sugar water in the summer, she will definitely sweat more quickly, making her body weaker and even suffer from heatstroke.
