Why do some people eat hen soup for weaning, but they can eat brown sugar eggs?

After the pregnancy and childbirth, the new mother is in a weak state and needs to strengthen her nutrition to promote her faster recovery. Moreover, the new mother will feed the baby after delivery. All the nutrients for the baby's growth and development are provided by breast milk, and the nutrients in breast milk are provided and transformed by the mother's nutrition.

Therefore, new mothers should pay more attention to a balanced and adequate diet during the second month.

Why do some people eat hen soup for weaning, but they can eat brown sugar eggs?

Indeed, when I was pregnant, my mother-in-law raised a lot of cocks in the country and said that she would stew soup for me in confinement, and then the baby would not worry about having no milk to drink. However, I personally like to drink more hen soup, but my mother-in-law said that hens will return to milk, and the local confinement pays attention to stewed chicken soup, so I don't eat hens.

Why "hen soup is weaned and male chicken soup is lactating"?

Let's talk about the "lactation mechanism" of the new mother: what is in the blood after the new mother gives birth to the baby? The concentrations of progesterone and estrogen will decrease, and then prolactin will be secreted. Prolactin is secreted by the baby's sucking to stimulate the new mother's brain, and its role is to promote breast milk secretion.

Then, when the new mother drinks hen soup or eats hen chicken, the estrogen contained in the hen will increase the estrogen content in the blood of the new mother and indirectly inhibit the secretion of prolactin. If prolactin is reduced, it will cause insufficient milk supply and even cause milk return.

On the contrary, what if it is a new mother? Eating chicken soup or chicken can relatively promote the secretion of milk, because the cock contains a small amount of androgen, which helps to reduce the estrogen content in the new mother.

So this statement is analyzed from the perspective of hormones contained in chicken.

What is the reason for "brown sugar and egg lactation"?

Let's talk about eggs first. Eggs are very nutritious, rich in high-quality protein, and also contain fat, lecithin, riboflavin, calcium, iron and so on. In addition, eggs are relatively cheap, so many people choose eggs to supplement nutrition.

Especially in many areas, you can eat dozens of pounds of eggs a month. Although this "monthly eating method" is unscientific, from another perspective, it shows that eggs are very popular.

In addition, although eggs are born by hens, they do not contain estrogen, so they have no effect on prolactin. On the contrary, because eggs are nutritious, they are very helpful for milk secretion.

Let's talk about brown sugar again Like eggs, brown sugar belongs to "Moon Star Food". In many places, new mothers will drink a bowl of thick brown sugar water after giving birth to their babies. I used to be an intern in a hospital and transferred to obstetrics and gynecology, so I often met the maternal family members, and asked me to help pass the brown sugar water to the new mother to replenish her physical strength.

However, some people pay attention to "brown sugar promotes the recovery of uterine contraction and helps the lochia to be discharged". Generally, they start drinking in the second week after delivery and drink for about 5-7 days.

In addition, brown sugar also contains iron, calcium, manganese, zinc, carotene and other elements, and contains the basic raw materials for synthesizing hemoglobin. Although small iron can be synthesized, it can help new mothers from the perspective of Chinese medicine? Tonifying qi and blood, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis? Yes

Therefore, according to this analysis, these two kinds of food are matched to make "brown sugar eggs", which can supplement protein and iron to some extent. In addition, these two foods are rich in nutrition, which is helpful for new mothers to supplement nutrition, and it is naturally beneficial to promote the synthesis of milk. 1 brown sugar eggs are nutritious, but it is not recommended to eat more. After all, brown sugar is sweet, and it is easy to get fat if you eat too much. Pregnant mothers with high blood sugar are likely to lead to elevated blood sugar;

2 eggs have high nutritional value, so it is not recommended to eat more. Instead of eating eggs every meal, it is better to eat reasonably. It is enough to eat two eggs a day, and then save your stomach to eat other kinds of food, which can better ensure the balance of nutrition;

Eggs don't have to be cooked with brown sugar, but they can also be eaten with other foods, so that new mothers are not easy to get tired of eating, such as tremella egg custard, fermented egg drop soup and poached eggs.

4 In addition to drinking brown sugar in brown sugar water, you can also cook millet porridge and make it into brown sugar ginger tea and red bean brown sugar porridge. However, Ma Jing personally thinks that brown sugar is not as magical as the legend, so it is not advisable to drink more. If you want to use brown sugar water to supplement iron, it is better to eat lean meat and animal liver.

⑤ In order to have enough milk, besides a balanced diet and various nutrients, the mood and sleep of the new mother will also affect the milk secretion, so eating well, sleeping well and being in a good mood are the basic guarantees for "sufficient milk".
