Patient's question:
After my cesarean section, I am now able to breathe normally. The doctor said I can eat, but since we are away from home, we don't know what to eat. What to eat after a cesarean section to promote milk production and how it helps: Why do many people have low milk supply after a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
If you have already passed gas, you can have a bowel movement. It's best to start with a liquid diet. You can add a few eggs to your congee or drink some crucian carp soup or pork trotter soup, but avoid adding too much salt—just a light seasoning is fine, as it helps with milk production. It's also recommended to drink a lot of brown sugar water daily, which helps remove waste blood from your body and promotes uterine contractions. You can also eat plenty of fruits, but make sure to blanch them in hot water before eating. During the postpartum period, you should avoid cold foods, as they may lead to stomach pain later.
