Can I have cake and dessert on Confucius Day?
You can eat cake in confinement.

During confinement, you can't simply supplement a certain kind of nutrition. What we pay attention to is balanced nutrition and diversified diet. It is recommended to eat more protein and drink more digestible food, so as to restore the body to the prenatal state as soon as possible. Cake contains a lot of sugar, protein, vitamins and minerals, so it is ok to eat it properly.

Sweet food will make us feel very happy. It's okay to eat less cake when we are greedy, but don't eat too much. During confinement, women's gastrointestinal function is also relatively weak. If you eat a lot of sweets and some cold and spicy foods, it may stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and cause indigestion, even diarrhea, so it is necessary to focus on light and digestible foods during confinement.

Why does mother want to confinement?

Confinement is one of the important contents of healthy culture in China. This is a process in which the whole body and mind of postpartum mother are fully nursed back to health and recovered. Women's reproductive system, endocrine system and psychology can not be nursed back to health in time and scientifically, which will leave a series of serious sequelae.

Prenatal pregnant women are responsible for the nutrition needed for fetal growth and development, and a series of adaptive changes will occur in various maternal systems. Uterine muscle cells are enlarged, proliferated and elongated, and the burden on the heart is aggravated, and the burden on the lungs is also aggravated. During pregnancy, the kidney is slightly enlarged, the ureter is thickened, the muscle tension is reduced, and the peristalsis is weakened. Others such as intestinal endocrine, skin, bones, joints and ligaments will change accordingly.

When the fetus is delivered after delivery, the maternal organs will return to the prenatal state. Wounds of uterus, perineum and vagina will heal, uterus will contract, diaphragm will droop, heart will recover, and loosened skin, joints and ligaments will return to normal. Whether these shapes, positions and functions can be restored depends on the aftercare and health care of lying-in women during confinement. If properly maintained, it will recover quickly and there will be no future trouble; A little carelessness, nursed back to health, will slowly recover.
