1, avoid eating more monosodium glutamate
In order to avoid zinc deficiency, new mothers should avoid eating too much monosodium glutamate. Generally speaking, it is beneficial and harmless for adults to eat monosodium glutamate, but if the mother eats a high-protein diet while breastfeeding, it will be harmful to the baby, especially the baby within 12 weeks. Because sodium glutamate in monosodium glutamate will enter the baby through milk.
Excessive sodium glutamate has a serious impact on the development of infants, especially those within 12 weeks. It can specifically combine with zinc in the baby's blood to produce glutamic acid that cannot be absorbed by the body, but zinc is excreted with urine, resulting in zinc deficiency in the baby. In this way, babies are not only prone to poor taste and anorexia, but also have adverse consequences such as mental retardation and growth retardation.
2. Avoid taking ginseng in a hurry.
Some new mothers are eager to take ginseng after delivery and want to make up for their health. In fact, it is harmful for the new mother to rush to supplement her body with ginseng. Ginseng contains a variety of effective components, which can have a wide range of exciting effects on human body, among which the exciting effect on the central nervous system of human body can lead to insomnia, irritability, anxiety and other adverse reactions. However, the new mother who has just given birth has great energy and physical strength and needs to stay in bed. If she takes ginseng at this time, she will find it difficult to sleep because of excitement, which will affect her energy recovery.
Ginseng is a medicine for invigorating qi, promoting blood circulation and accelerating blood flow. This is very bad for a new mother who just gave birth to a baby. Because the blood vessels of internal and external genitalia are often damaged during childbirth, taking ginseng may affect the self-healing of damaged blood vessels, causing bleeding and even massive bleeding.
Therefore, new mothers should not take ginseng within one week after delivery. Seven days after delivery, the new mother's wound has healed. Eating some ginseng at this time will help the new mother recover. But don't take too much. Ginseng is hot, which will cause the new mother to get angry or the baby to eat hot. It is the best way for new mothers to eat a variety of foods to supplement nutrition.
3. Avoid drinking a lot of boiled water.
Generally, new mothers are usually edema at the end of pregnancy, and confinement after childbirth is the golden period of physical recovery. During this time, the accumulated water in the body should be drained as much as possible. If you drink a lot of water, it may not be conducive to physical recovery.
If the mother of cesarean section may need to take some medicine, she still needs to drink a proper amount of water, but don't drink a lot of water at a time, but drink it in moderation.
4, avoid sour and salty food
Acidic salty food is easy to accumulate water, which affects the elimination of water in the body. In addition, sodium ions in salty foods are more likely to increase the consistency of blood, thus affecting metabolism and slowing blood circulation. It is best for new mothers to avoid sour and salty food during confinement.
Some new mothers drink vinegar to lose weight in order to lose weight quickly. Actually, this is not good. Because the new mother is weak in all parts of her body, she needs a recovery process, in which she is easily injured. Acidic food will damage her teeth and make them sore in the future. Vinegar contains about 3% ~ 4% acetic acid. If it is only used as a condiment, it will not cause any adverse effects on the body if it is in contact with teeth for a short time, and it can also promote appetite. Therefore, vinegar as a condiment is not taboo. Too salty food has the effect of returning milk. Today, when breastfeeding is advocated, the taste of new mothers should be light.
5. Avoid eating too many eggs
Medical research shows that it is best not to eat eggs for a few hours after delivery. Because in the process of childbirth, the new mother is physically exhausted, sweats a lot, lacks body fluids, and her digestive ability decreases. If you eat eggs immediately after delivery, it will be difficult to digest and increase the burden on the stomach. It is advisable to eat semi-liquid or liquid diet within a few hours after delivery. During the whole puerperium, according to the National Nutrition Standard for Pregnant Women and New Mothers, the protein is about 100g per day, so eating 3 ~ 4 eggs per day is enough. Eating too many eggs will also increase the burden on the stomach and even easily lead to stomach problems.
6, avoid hard and rough and cold food.
The new mother's spleen and stomach function has not fully recovered. Too cold and frozen food will damage the spleen and stomach, affect digestion, and cold things will easily cause blood stasis, which will cause abdominal pain and postpartum lochia of new mothers. In addition, new mothers try not to eat leftovers that have been stored for a long time. It is also best for new mothers not to eat seafood and other foods that are easy to cause allergies, otherwise it will easily cause allergies or bacterial infections, which will directly affect the health of babies who receive breast milk. But fresh fruit is not a "taboo". Fruit can stimulate appetite, help digestion and excretion, because you don't need to eat it if it is too cold. Moreover, fruits generally placed indoors will not be cold enough to stimulate the digestive organs of new mothers and affect their health.
7. Avoid eating more brown sugar
Brown sugar is rich in nutrition, fast in energy release, high in nutrient absorption and utilization rate, and warm. After delivery, the new mother lost too much blood and was weak, so she needed a lot of trace elements such as iron, calcium, manganese, zinc and protein. Brown sugar also contains "motherwort" component, which can promote uterine contraction, discharge blood stasis in postpartum uterine cavity and promote the early recovery of uterus. After giving birth to the baby, the new mother was weak. Eating brown sugar has the effects of benefiting qi and nourishing blood, strengthening spleen and warming stomach, dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
However, new mothers must not blindly eat more brown sugar because it has so many benefits, thinking that the more the better. Because drinking too much brown sugar water will not only damage the new mother's teeth, but also the brown sugar is warm. If the new mother drinks too much brown sugar water in summer, it will definitely accelerate sweating, weaken her body and even suffer from heatstroke. In addition, when drinking brown sugar water, you should boil it before drinking it, and you can't use boiled water, because brown sugar is easy to produce bacteria during storage and transportation, which may cause diseases.
