Foods to Include In a Wholesome Confinement Breakfast for New Mommies

Breakfast, the first meal of the day, is also the most important one. A wholesome confinement breakfast is especially recommended for new mothers who need to stay healthy and active to tend to their newborn.

Giving birth to a baby is undoubtedly very exciting, but it can cause extreme weakness too. Childbirth can lead to loss of blood as well as energy, so it is imperative for the mothers to get back their strength and restore energy.

Post-pregnancy is a very tough period for a mom to take care of her as well as the baby since the mother’s health directly affects the baby too. Proper nourishment helps to feed the baby adequately to keep both of them healthy and nourished.

Needless to say, the mother’s wellness majorly depends on the food that she consumes. So it is important that she eats healthy always.

And since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, they must focus on healthy foods right from breakfast!

A very common question is, what should a confinement breakfast ideally contain?

Let us take a look at the top 5 foods that you can include for healthy nourishing breakfast.

Salmon Salmon is rich in protein and has the correct amount of zinc that is good for the mom’s health and well-being. Zinc is said to be extremely beneficial for new moms to fight against postpartum depression. Not just that, it contains healthy fat and brain-boosting

DHA which passes to the baby and helps the baby to grow up healthier. The salmon can be consumed baked or steamed with other green vegetables.

Oatmeal Oats can be boring at times but it provides energy to the mother since it is rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and protein. It keeps the tummy full for long and helps to enrich the baby’s nourishment. Several fruits, cookies, and nuts can be added for a fun oat breakfast.

Pork Liver Pork liver is a hub of iron and vitamin A but eating other parts like pork stomach and intestines must be avoided as it contains high cholesterol. It tastes better with ginger and sesame oil.

Chicken Rice Wine Rice wine helps the mother’s body to stimulate blood circulation and keeps the body warm so it can also be counted under confinement breakfast lists.

Kiwi and oranges Fruits like oranges, lemon, tangerine, and kiwi are a great source of Vitamin C which help the body increase the production of collagen; that helps healing stitches and wounds on the body. Vitamin C in the body helps to soak zinc quickly so the citrus fruits help in two ways. Generally, doctors suggest consuming them as smoothies and not as juices for better pulp and fiber.

It is very important for the mothers to not only consume healthy dietary breakfasts but also to make it a habit. Skipping meals is out of the question, no matter how busy you get!

Having a balanced diet is the best way to keep both the baby and the mother to stay healthy and nourished.
