Patient's question:
After giving birth, I stayed home to rest and recuperate. My mother-in-law said that it's very important for women to rest properly after childbirth. She didn't let me eat anything, saying it wasn't good for my health. I was already a food lover, but I had to endure it for a whole month. After the postpartum period, I wanted to eat hot pot, but she still didn't allow it. So, can I eat hot pot after giving birth?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm very happy to answer for you. Yes, but you can't eat spicy food because spicy foods like chili should not be consumed during breastfeeding. They can easily damage body fluids, deplete qi and blood, worsen qi and blood deficiency, and easily lead to internal heat, constipation, and when they enter breast milk, they are also harmful to the baby, and are not good for the baby's health. After giving birth, it is especially important to pay attention to warmth and diet, with a light diet as the main focus, and to eat more fruits and vegetables.
