An important part of confinement is the confinement meal, because mothers not only need to supplement their own consumption during pregnancy and childbirth, but also supplement enough nutrition so that the mother can secrete sufficient milk to feed the baby, and research shows that , Appropriate dietary supplements can restore maternal physical and mental health well, and can effectively prevent postpartum depression.
But mothers who have a caesarean section have a relatively weak digestive ability due to fasting before and after surgery, so they must make a gradual and transitional diet arrangement, so today I will tell you what should a caesarean section mother eat on the first day?
After a caesarean section, you should strictly follow the doctor’s instructions, fast for 6-8 hours after the operation, and wait until the exhaust gas and the doctor confirms that you can eat.
So how to help the exhaust? When it comes to exhaust gas, my mother’s first reaction may be radish soup, but the radish soup must be filtered out of the shredded radish. In addition to this, we can also use multigrain rice oil. These two kinds of food should be delivered in 6 times before the mother is not exhausted, with 150-200 ml each time, until ventilation.
How to make multigrain rice oil? Multigrain rice oil is made from brown rice/white rice/millet in half and half, without adding alkali.
What are the dietary principles for the first week postpartum? Pregnant mothers store a lot of water in their bodies, and they need to slowly excrete the water after giving birth, but the first week after giving birth is a critical period for “reducing water and swelling”, so mothers should not eat too salty food or foods containing a lot of condiments Food, avoid eating pickled food and canned food, so as not to cause water retention in the body and should not be discharged. In addition, mothers should follow these principles:
The purpose of the diet in the first week after giving birth is to remove lochia, dispel cold, dilute water and reduce swelling, and promote milk secretion. After giving birth, lochia should be discharged first, and then qi and blood should be replenished. The more lochia, the less it can be replenished. The diet should focus on promoting metabolism and expelling excess water from the body.
What should mother eat on the first day after ventilation? After ventilation, the mother’s diet can gradually transition from liquid food to semi-liquid food. During the whole process, it is suitable to eat nutritious and easily digestible food, such as rotten porridge, soft noodles, noodle soup, etc., and then gradually transition to normal diet according to the maternal constitution .
But on the first day, you should avoid egg/milk/sugar/soy products to avoid flatulence. The following is a day’s recipe for mother’s reference:
Breakfast: thin millet porridge/fried potato shreds
Snack: red bean and barley porridge
lunch: Clear Chicken Soup with Longxu Noodles
Snack: Vegetable soup cooked in brown rice oil
Dinner: Rice and vegetable porridge/small flower rolls/vegetarian fried white radish.
On the first day or even the first week after giving birth, mothers need to fast from seafood and separate oil from chicken soup. The meat should be smooth and tender, and the ribs should be soft and chewy.
