Postpartum Diet

Postpartum Diet
Complement your diet with essential nutrients for postpartum recovery
 

• ​Immunity and physical strength drop rapidly after giving birth. Immediately after giving birth, breastfeeding provides nutrition to the baby, so it is recommended to eat a variety of nutrients and eat foods that are easy to digest.

 

• ​Protein strengthens the mother's basic physical strength and increases muscle mass, so you should pay attention to your protein intake for one month after giving birth.Proteins in meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, etc. help restore the mother's energy and help in breast milk production. Proteins delivered to the mother through breast milk play an important role in building cells, including the brain of the child.

​

• Iron needs to be continuously replenished to prevent anemia after childbirth, just like during pregnancy, so you should frequently consume lean meats, egg yolks, fish, green leafy vegetables, and other foods with vitamin C.

​

• Calcium and collagen return to normal at least 3 months after childbirth, when the joints and muscles of the mother's body become loose. If you combine parenting and housework while your body is not fully recovered, you may experience postpartum pain if you overuse your joints or don't take good care of them. Eating foods rich in calcium and collagen is recommended for joint and bone health.

​

• Eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains rich in vitamins and minerals.
