Women enter the puerperium after delivery, commonly known as confinement. The confinement period is a process in which the maternal body and genitals return to non-pregnancy state, which generally takes 6 8 weeks. During this period, the uterus gradually contracted to the pelvic cavity, and the height of the uterus generally decreased by 65438 0.2 cm every day, and basically returned to normal about 42 days after delivery. And there are postpartum lochia, first bloody lochia, which usually ends in about 3 days, then serous lochia, 10 days, and finally white lochia, which ends in about 3 weeks. Therefore, diet and nursing during confinement are very important. Diet recipes include: ① brown sugar walnut millet porridge: it plays the role of promoting blood circulation and lochia; ② glutinous rice porridge: diuresis and detumescence to prevent postpartum self-urination; 3 hemp pig liver rice: promoting lochia; ④ Danggui Fish Soup: Tonifying blood and nutrition; 5 stewed peanut trotters: promote milk production.
