The diet during confinement should be supplemented in stages according to the physical condition. Generally, the first two weeks of each month are the lochia period for pregnant women. At this time, we should pay great attention to diet to avoid affecting the discharge of lochia. The last two weeks of confinement are the time to replenish qi and blood for prolactinists. At this time, it is necessary to increase tonic. Pregnant women's tonic is divided into three stages, the first stage is the first week after delivery, the second stage is the second week after delivery, and the third stage is three or four weeks after delivery.

So don't eat too much in the first week to avoid lochia loss. Chinese medicine suggests that the staple food can be mainly pig liver, eating about 300 grams a day. Pig liver can tonify liver, improve eyesight and invigorate qi and blood. In the first week after delivery, the new mommy is weak and has a bad appetite, so she can eat some light meat.
2. In the second week, the amount of lochia decreased and the color became lighter. Symptoms of postpartum backache should be relieved in time. It is recommended to eat sesame oil kidney flower to relieve the discomfort of backache. Eucommia ulmoides Oliv Sesame oil can be added to stir-fry kidney flower to improve the effect.
3, the lochia has been exhausted in the third week after delivery, and this is the time to vigorously replenish qi and blood. The most commonly used ingredient of tonic is sesame chicken.
