Although pregnancy is a natural process, it still puts strain on your body. The body also needs to

expend energy for healing after birth, and if there has been significant blood loss, iron and other

nutrients must be replaced. Furthermore, breast milk production, believe it or not, requires even

greater caloric intake than does pregnancy. This is because you are continuing to provide primary

nourishment for a rapidly growing baby undergoing not only enormous physical development, but

also tremendous brain development in the first six months after birth.

General Postpartum Care

During the first few days postpartum, many women are nervous about having a bowel movement

soon after birth. Avoiding constipation and difficult elimination is the key to healthy digestion. Eat

plenty of fruits and vegetables, drink ample quantities of water and keep away from hard-to-digest

foods.

This is definitely not an appropriate time to diet. Your body, especially if you are nursing, naturally

will lose weight after birth. However, returning to your pre-pregnancy size usually takes several

months, at least. A healthy diet and moderate exercise over time will ensure this. Dieting only serves

to deprive you and the baby of essential nutrients. If you have gained excessive weight during

pregnancy, or simply want to be trimmer than you are now, having just given birth, an excellent

balanced diet is the best way to meet your goals. Speak with your doctor for information on how to

eat right for breastfeeding, or seek the assistance of a qualified nutritional consultant. Adjusting your

diet to include healthful, high-quality foods protects your nutritional status, allows you to produce

abundant milk and helps get your weight under control.

The confinement period lasts for forty days after the day of delivery. These are the points which can

be taken care of during this period

1. Covering of head: During the confinement period, in Indian tradition, the mother’s head is

covered with a scarf during day time. This is to prevent the loss of body heat through the

head and it also helps to avoid catching ear infections or cold

2. Body massages: Daily hot oil body massage is given to the mother. In the case of a C-

section, oil massage will be done only after the stitches are healed. Massages are done with

nourishing oils such as Olive oil, Coconut oil, and Sesame oil. Massage with Sesame oil is

the traditional method as the property of this oil in controlling stress and pressure and its

cooling effect. Coconut oil is usually used for head massage. As it is quickly absorbed by the

skin, the stretch marks are found to reduce when this oil is applied in the belly area

3. Bath: Hot water is poured in the lower abdomen and pelvic area. Usually, Neem leaves are

put along with water while boiling. Neem leaves, as we all know, are antiseptic. Soaps are

replaced with Chickpea powder mixed with milk cream

Post-partum Diet

The food items given during confinement period as per Indian tradition are rich in ingredients that

promote lactation, digestion and resistance against infections. It mainly includes of ladoos, parathas,

and kheers. Ghee is added to almost every item that are prepared for the mother. Turmeric milk is

given on every morning. This is prepared by adding a pinch of freshly ground turmeric to milk while

boiling. Garlic milk which increases lactation is also given. Broken wheat porridge (Daliya) is given

as it reduces the chances of constipation. Roti made with millet is included in the diet as it is a rich

source of fiber aids digestion. Khichdi made of moong dal and rice is served as it is a rich source of

carbohydrates. Ajwain parathas which are good for lactation is a dinner option. Water is boiled with

Saunf seeds and is given to mother frequently to increase the breast milk.

Postpartum Care (As suggested in Ayurveda)

According to Ayurveda good health depends up on the balance of three forces – vata, pitta and

kapha. Imbalance (dosha) of one of them causes ill health. Delivery related problems are due to the

vata dosha. This imbalance is treated in Ayurveda through rest, massages, food and herbal

preparations.

• Diet during confinement period: Diet during confinement period in Ayurveda is designed

in such a way to balance the vata dosha. The digestive system is also very sensitive during

this period so Ayurveda insists of start with eating easily digestible food and gradually go

back to regular diet towards the end of confinement period.

o Warm, fresh and oily food that tastes sweet.

o Sweetness providing food like honey, rice, fresh fruits or even yam, sour and salty

are focused

o Cold foods are avoided as they are hard to digest and will draw water from the body

causing constipation and promote gas formation

o Salads are also not recommended in Ayurveda during confinement period as they

create gas

o Timing and quantity of meals are another important factors. Breakfast around 8 am,

lunch around 1 pm, and dinner around 6 pm. Notice the 5-hour gap between each

meal. Breakfast and dinner should be light but the lunch should be heavy.

o Dried fruits can be taken but should remember to peel the skin of almonds

o Kashayams, lehyams and arishtams will be given to the mother to rebuilt the

resistance power, increasing the lactation, and rejuvenate the body after delivery

Remember, if you are not healthy and happy after delivery, it’s your child who will suffer more.
