For those that follow a special diet after giving birth what do you guys eat? I remember eating homemade chicken soup after I had my son and I wasn’t allowed to eat it after 3 days because the chicken was too old. Really looking forward to my moms cooking again 😊
@mommyof4plus2, I’m Mexican on my moms side. Some of them are extremely strict on things you should do especially the old school grandmas. One of my moms friends was not allowed to get out of bed period unless to go to use the bathroom for a few weeks. Couldn’t walk around barefoot. Always had to be covered with a blanket or sweater. Some even stuffed cotton balls in their ears. Their theory is once you give birth everything in your body is open so you have to be treated like a newborn basically. Back then the doulas would be caring for them or family. It sounds crazy but watching people walk around the mall with a 2 week old is pretty crazy to us lol
I breastfed and it was hard to eat bkz I wasn’t hungry so I lost a lot of weight from not eating and from breastfeeding . Lol I wasn’t on a diet or anything wenever I tried to eat I would take a few bites and be full
I breastfed with all my babies and It kept me hungry burning carbs and stuff. I want to diet and lose weight in the weeks of Maternity but idk how to with out messing up my supply.
