Women during the confinement period can drink pigeon soup, and patients after surgery are also suitable to drink it. Pigeons contain more branched-chain amino acids and arginine, which can promote the synthesis of protein in vivo and accelerate wound healing. If it is caesarean section, it is best to drink pigeon soup after delivery. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pigeon meat is easy to digest, and has the functions of nourishing and benefiting qi, expelling wind and detoxifying, and has a good nourishing and therapeutic effect on physical weakness, dizziness, mental fatigue, amenorrhea due to blood deficiency, and memory loss after illness.

Principles of diet during childbirth and confinement:

1, food should be soft and delicious, easy to digest and absorb.

Many pregnant women have loose teeth after delivery. On the one hand, excellent food is not good for teeth, on the other hand, it is not good for digestion and absorption. Therefore, pregnant women should cook their meals soft and eat less fried or hard-shell foods.

2, a small number of meals, should be mixed with meat and vegetables.

More use of soup food is good for breastfeeding. The secretion of milk is one of the reasons for the increase of postpartum water demand; In addition, most pregnant women sweat more, and the water on the body surface volatilizes more than usual, so they should drink more soup and porridge.

3, should not eat raw, cold, hard food.

Postpartum women have weak constitution and poor resistance, which is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroenteritis. Try not to eat cold fruits, such as watermelon and pear, in the first week after delivery.

4, it is not appropriate to make up quickly, so as not to lose more.

Most of the mammary ducts of lying-in women are not completely unobstructed, so don't rush to drink prolactin soup two or three days before delivery, otherwise you may feel like crying during lactation, and you may easily get mastitis and other diseases. You can drink light soups such as egg soup and fish soup, and the soup should not be too salty.
