The third week after delivery: The parturient can take the tonic stewed with Eucommia ulmoides, such as Eucommia ulmoides.

During confinement, mother can eat some sesame chicken in time to supplement some nutrition. Because sesame oil has sufficient protein, it has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. But doctors recommend eating a chicken for about two to three days, and it is not necessary to eat it for a long time or even every day. This will not only make the mother feel disgusted with eating chicken, but also cause overnutrition and weight gain.
In addition to healthy diet and nutrition supplement, doctors also suggest that new mothers should have enough rest during confinement, which is slightly longer than usual for one or two hours, but they must cooperate with moderate exercise to exert their absorption function.
