Patient's question:
I've been postpartum for 2 days and can already eat normally. Can the doctor eat raw fruits?Doctor's answer:
If you are breastfeeding during the postpartum period, it is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is also best not to eat cold foods, and attention should be paid to diet to enhance nutrition. Postpartum women are still relatively weak, so their diet needs to be gradually adjusted. They should still avoid cold, spicy, and irritating foods, and consume more protein and vitamin-rich foods. Since breastfeeding is required, it is necessary to drink more soup to promote milk production.Avoid excessive MSG consumption. If a postpartum woman eats too much MSG, the baby may develop zinc deficiency. Generally speaking, MSG is harmless to adults, but for babies, especially those under 12 weeks old, if the lactating mother consumes a high-protein diet along with excessive MSG, it can be very detrimental.
