5 misconceptions in eating after birth many Vietnamese mothers believe miserly

Abstain from sour food

Some people believe that after giving birth, mothers should abstain from acidic foods, fear of later bowel movements, babies with diarrhea and other diseases.

In fact, this problem of abstinence is not entirely true, sour foods often contain vitamin C, which is good for mothers after recovery after birth. Supplementing these foods in moderation does not harm the mother or baby.

You just need to avoid foods that are too acidic or too salty because they can cause digestive disorders.

Eat salty warehouses

The concept of postpartum should only eat meat, salted braised fish to "heal" is completely wrong. The fact that she only eats only one kind of food, and the salt store will make her lack of nutrition, the body recovers slowly, children are not enough nutrition and slowly gain weight.

Eat foods high in fat

Many people think that eating fatty foods will have a lot of milk and healthy babies. However, eating a lot of fat only makes mom gain weight "dizzy" without increasing the nutritional value of breast milk.

Eat more carbs

This is the conception of many Vietnamese mothers, who believe that eating lots of starches will allow them to breastfeed. In fact, starch is not a dairy food, but it also increases the risk of obesity and diabetes. Starch diets of newborn mothers do not need to change anything compared to before birth.

Postpartum mothers should eat a balanced balance of 4 groups: starch, fat, protein and vitamins instead of focusing on starches. In addition to a healthy diet, moms need to rest and exercise regularly and do not forget to drink plenty of water about 8-9 glasses of water a day.
