What should a postpartum woman eat?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The postpartum woman has experienced significant blood loss and needs to supplement iron to produce red blood cells in the blood. Lean meat, animal liver and blood, as well as certain vegetables, are rich in iron and can help replenish blood. In addition to being rich in protein, milk, tofu, eggs, fish and shrimp also contain a large amount of calcium.
