Can I take some calcium tablets during confinement?

What to eat during the confinement period is a question that many pregnant women are very concerned about, and there are many taboos in women's diet during the confinement period. If postpartum mothers do not pay much attention to conditioning in daily life, it will greatly affect women's health. Postpartum mothers also need to pay attention to the absorption of iron and calcium in daily life. Below, the content is some content compiled by the editor about what women in confinement should eat and how to arrange diet during the confinement period.

What to eat during confinement

1. Drink appropriate amount of brown sugar water to supplement iron and act as a diuretic. Brown sugar is high in iron, and contains a variety of trace elements and minerals, which can promote the discharge of lochia and prevent urinary incontinence. However, drinking too much can cause new mothers to sweat more and lose salt from their bodies. Therefore, it should not be consumed for too long, and should not exceed 10 days at most.

2. Gradually transition from liquid food to normal diet. After delivery, it takes some time for the digestive system to recover, so you can choose some foods that are easier to digest in the first few days after delivery. You can transition from porridge and noodles to rice porridge, and then to rice and pasta.

3. Eat small meals frequently and don’t overeat. Because new mothers spend most of their time lying in bed during the confinement period, they should not eat too much at each meal and can eat when they are hungry.

4. Avoid spicy and gas-producing foods. Constipation is a common problem after childbirth, so you should have a rich diet and eat more vegetables and fruits rich in plant fiber.

5. Drink more warm boiled water and avoid cold drinks. Beverages and alcoholic drinks are not suitable for new mothers during the confinement period. They should drink more warm boiled water to replenish the water lost in the body during excessive sweating. Never drink ice water or consume large amounts of cold drinks just because the weather is hot or you are afraid of sweating.

It is very hard for a mother to be pregnant for 10 months, so the editor reminds postpartum mothers to pay more attention to diet conditioning in daily life. You still need to choose to eat some light food. You cannot often stay up late or be very tired during this period. You need to pay more attention to rest. Generally, you can get out of bed and walk about 3 days after delivery.
