It's important to ensure that we get adequate amount of water intake during the confinement period. And no, i dont mean plain water. My old folks say it's not good to take plain water, especially cold water. Has lots of "wind" in it. Bad for old age. Though the young may argue and go against it, the old folks' advice is that you'll know when you are old. Up to you whether you want to continue with drinking cold water or try some of these "warm" nourishing daily confinement drinks.
I'm grateful that my Mother-in-law was there to help with the cooking and daily confinement food preparations. As i'm all for exclusive breastfeeding, these nourishing daily confinement drinks will ensure that i have sufficient nutrient and liquid in me to produce lots of breastmilk for baby. Here are just some of my favorite nourishing daily confinement drinks:
Dates Tea
Fried Ginger Rice Tea
Dang Shen Tea
Pepper and Dang Shen Ginger Tea

About
As of time of writing, my youngest kid is already about to turn two years old. My eldest is nearly five. Both boys. You wont find any pics here on this blog. I know nuts about blogging when my kid was born and never thought that i'll make a blog for Chinese Confinement Foods one day. The Chinese Confinement Food recipes here are what my mother-in-law cooked for me after the birth of my two kids. All tried and tested recipes.
It's important for women to rest well right after childbirth. Confinement Foods will provide all the nourishment needed to replenish a spent body, making it strong again. I believe i deserve to rest and eat well during the confinement period. I've seen many of my friends who dont believe in confinement foods and end up white and pale even three months after the birth of their baby. Dont be like them. Take care of your body well after childbirth. Important for old-age and also if you intend to have more children.
Do give some of these Chinese Confinement Food recipes a try. They are not only meant for confinement period. Most of these Chinese Confinement Foods are very good and nourishing.
