What should I pay attention to in postpartum diet?
Under normal circumstances, pregnant mothers will gain weight sharply after delivery. At this time, many people will go on a diet immediately in order to restore their slim figure. This is actually very harmful. On the one hand, it is not only harmful to the body, but also very unfavorable to breastfeeding. Women gain weight after childbirth, mainly for water and fat. If they feed their babies, they will inevitably consume a lot of water and fat in their bodies. Therefore, pregnant mothers not only can't go on a diet, but also eat more nutritious food, and they must ensure the calorie intake of 2800 kilocalories every day.
After giving birth to a child, in order to supplement nutrition and make milk secretion sufficient, women pay special attention to postpartum nourishing, and often keep chickens and eat fish every day. In fact, this will not only waste money, but also lead to obesity because of overnutrition. Obesity can cause metabolic disorder of sugar and fat in the body and cause various diseases.
If pregnant mothers eat too much, it will inevitably increase the fat content of milk. If the baby's gastrointestinal absorption is good, it is easy to cause obesity; If the baby's gastrointestinal digestive function is poor and cannot be fully absorbed, fatty diarrhea will occur. If it is chronic diarrhea for a long time, it will cause malnutrition. Angel Confucius Center advises pregnant mothers that in order to avoid this situation, they must have a balanced nutrition and a combination of meat and vegetables.
Drinking more high-fat thick soup after delivery will not only affect the appetite, but also make people fat, so that the fat content in milk is too high, which makes the newborn baby unable to tolerate and absorb, causing diarrhea.
