Is postpartum generally fat or thin?

Patient's question:

I'm about to finish the postpartum period, but I'm getting thinner and thinner every day, my mood is getting worse and worse, and I can't eat every day, feeling like I'm being controlled by my mother-in-law.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's best to eat less sunflower seeds during the postpartum period, as consuming too many can easily cause internal heat, which may affect breast milk and subsequently impact the baby. Therefore, it's recommended to consume nutritious supplements like bone broth and fish soup during this time. Eating too hard foods is not good for your teeth and may cause toothache. Additionally, it's important to get adequate rest, and appropriate exercise can help with uterine contractions. Pay attention to keeping warm. In terms of diet, focus on foods that replenish qi and blood to warm the body and aid uterine contraction.
