Postpartum care precautions for mothers who have undergone a C-section
The biggest difference between a cesarean section and a vaginal delivery is:
There is a wound
The recovery process will be different, requiring more care and patience.
1. Postpartum intestinal peristalsis is slow.
You must wait for the child to pass gas before you can eat.
This isn't shyness, it's medical procedure.
2. You can start supplementing two days later.
-
Fish, Chicken essence, Milk, High-protein Meats
It helps repair wounds and accelerates recovery.
3. Take good care of your intestinal peristalsis.
Eat more vegetables and fruits
Fiber supplementation
Preventing constipation (constipation after a C-section is truly hell...)
4. Avoid these foods in the first month:
-
Raw and cold food
-
Ice cream
-
Coffee and tea (will make your body feel colder)
-
Spicy foods such as chili peppers and alcohol
High-protein meat
It helps wounds repair and speeds up recovery.
C-section involves significant blood loss, and breast milk is made from blood; therefore, iron deficiency affects:
Mother's recovery, milk supply, newborn nutrition
5. Increase your iron intake.
6. Sufficient nutrition + sufficient rest = The best quality breast milk
Poor recovery can affect breast milk quality, so mothers who have had a C-section need extra care.
