How to Make Barley Congee for Postpartum Women

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How can I make millet porridge suitable for postpartum women?

Doctor's answer:

Sesame seeds have the effects of diuretic edema, strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, relieving muscle pain, clearing heat and draining pus. After childbirth, eating some sesame seeds can help remove waste from the body and reduce edema and aid in weight loss. However, do not eat too much at once, as sesame seeds are cooling.
Dear mother: It is essential to provide adequate nutrition and good rest conditions for the mother after childbirth. When feeling that milk production is insufficient, the frequency, duration, and intensity of infant suckling should be increased, paying particular attention to whether the latch-on position is correct. Rest well, maintain a balanced diet, stay in a good mood, and consume soup and water-based foods. Herbal remedies can also be used to boost milk production if necessary.
