How do expectant mothers do confinement in summer?

　　How to eat during the summer confinement period?

　　1. Drink brown sugar water appropriately to supplement iron and diuresis. Brown sugar has a high iron content and also contains a variety of trace elements and minerals, which can promote the discharge of lochia and prevent and treat urinary incontinence. However, drinking too much can cause new mothers to sweat more and lose salt in the body. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink it for too long, no more than 10 days at most.

　　2. Slowly transition from a liquid diet to a normal diet. Postpartum , the function of the digestive system takes some time to recover, so you can choose some foods that are easier to digest in the few days after delivery. You can transition from porridge and noodles to porridge, and then eat rice and pasta.

　　3. Eat small meals frequently and don’t be gluttonous. Because new mothers spend most of their time lying in bed during the confinement period, they should not eat too much at each meal. They can only eat when they are hungry.

　　4. It is best to eat mainly natural foods and avoid taking too many nutritional supplements. At present, there are many health foods on the market. Some people think that the process of pregnancy and childbirth takes a lot of energy out of women, and they should eat more health products to replenish their energy. This idea is wrong. During the confinement period, you should mainly eat natural and green foods, and try to eat as little or no synthetic supplements as possible. You can also choose to take some mother's milk powder, multivitamins or calcium tablets specially designed for pregnant women, because mothers during confinement, especially those who breastfeed, need to supplement more calcium, iron, vitamins and minerals.

　　5. Drink more warm boiled water and avoid cold drinks. Beverages and alcoholic drinks are not suitable for new mothers during confinement. They should drink more warm boiled water to replenish the water lost in the body during heavy sweating. Never drink ice water or consume large amounts of cold drinks because of the hot weather or fear of sweating.
