Patient's question:
My wife just gave birth to a child, and it was a normal delivery. I don't know what to eat, and I don't understand either. Everyone says that postpartum people shouldn't eat randomly. I'm also worried about eating the wrong things and causing trouble. How long after a normal delivery can one start eating?Doctor's answer:
During childbirth, avoid spicy, greasy, and cold foods such as strong tea, coffee, carbonated drinks, and chili peppers. Instead, eat fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as high-protein foods like eggs, milk, and lean meat. Engage in appropriate activities and rest as much as possible to ensure you don't catch a cold. Arrange your work and rest time reasonably and avoid staying up late. Pay attention to personal hygiene and change your underwear frequently, opting for pure cotton. You can drink more soups, such as pig trotter soup and crucian carp soup, as they are beneficial for milk production. Try to avoid cold or irritating foods as much as possible.
