Features: After a long and difficult delivery, new mothers expend a lot of energy and nutrients, and their organs are extremely fatigued, leaving their bodies weak. Therefore, new mothers need more than ever to have adequate nutrition—not only for their own recovery but also to promote milk production and ensure the healthy growth of the newborn. This book is divided into three parts—Recovery Recipes, Breastfeeding Recipes, and Postpartum Corresponding Recipes—and features hundreds of dishes, all highly targeted, scientific, and practical. As the saying goes, "After giving birth, the body is like a hollow tree." After prolonged, intense contractions and delivery, the mother expends a lot of energy and nutrients, her organs are fatigued, her blood becomes thin, and her body becomes extremely weak, often experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, thin white tongue with pale tip, and weak pulse, indicating a deficiency of qi and blood and insufficient kidney energy. Subsequent breastfeeding only adds to the strain. Therefore, women need more nutrition after giving birth than during pregnancy—not only for their own recovery but also to replenish energy, promote milk production, and ensure the baby's healthy growth. This book is organized into three main parts—Recovery Recipes for Postpartum Mothers, Breastfeeding Recipes for Milk Production (including increasing and weaning), and Postpartum Corresponding Recipes—based on the characteristics of delivery, the healing and recovery process, milk production, and the principles of "avoiding cold after childbirth" and "postpartum three highs." It provides detailed information on hundreds of dishes, including ingredients, preparation methods, and their effects, making it highly targeted, scientific, and practical.
