If the new mum can not solve the “water retention” issue during the decisive first week but drink water without scruples, it will have a negative impact on metabolism, then it would be difficult to lose weight in the next three weeks to achieve the targeted weight loss after delivery.
2.Proper Diet plan:
The main focus of first-week confinement is to reduce “water retention “, but also to grasp the concept of progressive selective food intake. During first 2 weeks, the lochia (the normal discharge from the uterus after childbirth.) will occur, the diet should focus on the promotion of metabolism, excretion of excess water on the body.

Until the lochia taper off (3rd to 4th weeks, the new mum can begin to eat “sesame chicken”, to tonicity blood and “qi”. It is no wonder some new mum gain weight as they take” sesame oil chicken” , from the first day to the last day of the confinement.

In addition, although new mum should avoid laborious work, moderate exercise to burn the fat surrounded the waist, buttocks, restore elasticity is necessary.In general, the new mother can start abdominal contraction, sit-ups and other sports 14 days after delivery. Those who like aerobic exercise can start six weeks later. In short, to have remarkable results, ones should persevere in the postpartum exercise.
4.Breastfeeding:
In order to produce milk, the fat accumulated during pregnancy will be used up little by little. To produce milk, the body will consume 500 to 800 calories daily, and after a month, it consumes 15000 to 24000 calories more than a mother who does not breastfeed, Converted into fat, then that is nearly 2 kg of fat. Therefore, many medical studies have shown that mothers who breastfeeding can regain body shape early, reduce the risk of breast cancer & ovarian cancer.
