A young friend who I knew well recently had a good son, his son was born with a weight of 8.8 kg and had a caesarean section. It is said that she has a lot of contact with me on weekdays, especially when she listens to my dietary guidance many times during pregnancy, it should not be "nutrition blind." But unfortunately, her postpartum diet is completely "controlled" by the mother who is waiting for her confinement. The maternity meal she eats can be summed up in a completely unrecognizable way: 6 eggs per day, almost porridge with meals, meat, fish and shrimp are listed as Taboo, eat vegetables and not fruits.

　　 The most basic nutritional knowledge is that women should eat a balanced diet, and on the basis of a balanced diet, increase the intake of animal foods such as fish, meat, eggs, milk, etc., especially after caesarean section. It should be so. Eggs are one of the important sources of high-quality protein. Maternal women should also eat eggs, but eating 6 eggs a day is too much, and it interferes with the intake of meat, milk and fish. High levels of easily absorbed calcium in milk, high levels of easily absorbed iron in meat, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and zinc, which are rich in fish and shrimp, cannot be replaced by eggs. So eating a lot of eggs will lead to nutritional imbalance. The practice of eating a large number of eggs during the confinement period is obviously formed under the condition of low productivity-in the poor past, milk, meat and fish and shrimp were not eaten. Eggs are almost the only convenient source of high-quality protein.

　　 The reason for drinking porridge for meals is actually "digestible". Porridge is indeed easy to digest, and it is not wrong for mothers or others to eat easily digestible food. But this is not absolutely necessary. Maternal digestion function is generally not abnormal, just like ordinary people can digest most of the daily food. Even if it is a caesarean section, only the first one and two must eat liquid food (such as porridge, custard, etc.), and then should transition to a normal diet-caesarean section, cesarean section, rather than gastrointestinal, gastrointestinal function will not be damaged by this of. All in all, the food that can be digested by ordinary people can be digested by women. Drinking porridge with meals and drinking a lot of liquids will lead to insufficient food intake of solid foods-it is impossible to meet the nutritional needs of the human body by liquid foods alone (except for specialized enteral nutrition).

The nutritional imbalance caused by partial eclipse (eggs), too much porridge soup leads to insufficient energy and nutrient intake, which not only affects the physical strength and immunity of the mother, increases the chance of infection, but also affects postpartum recovery, And cause insufficient lactation-many confinement women rely on so-called "down milk" foods (such as hoofs, eel, etc.) to promote milk secretion, do you know that a balanced diet is the best "power" for milk secretion? ". Of course, those foods that have a "lower milk" effect can be eaten (whether they can promote milk secretion, you will know it after eating it), but if eating these foods affects the normal dietary balance, it is definitely worth the loss.

　　 In one sentence, the most important dietary principle of a woman during confinement is: balance.
