Cinnamon is considered a spice rich in nutrients necessary for a healthy body, which helps reduce the chances of contracting diseases, especially those related to the immune system. Therefore, it is important to consume it in appropriate quantities. In the following report, Dalili Medical reviews the most prominent benefits of cinnamon after childbirth, in addition to the side effects resulting from excessive consumption, according to what was reported on our website.

**The best drinks after a cesarean section**

 

- **Milk**: Milk is considered the primary drink for breastfeeding women, and it is useful after a cesarean section, as it contains a group of important nutrients such as calcium and vitamin D, which help protect women from osteoporosis and maintain dental health. Milk is also considered a fluid that supports milk production. If a woman does not prefer drinking milk, she can drink it in the form of a cocktail with bananas and honey to obtain additional benefits.

- **Caraway**: Caraway is an excellent nutritional meal for women after a cesarean section, as it contains fiber that prevents constipation, in addition to a group of nutrients such as iron, zinc, magnesium, and phosphorus, which are transferred to the child during breastfeeding.

- **Coconut water**: Coconut water provides a woman after a cesarean section with a group of nutrients that enhance milk production and maintain her general health, such as potassium, natural sugars, and sodium. It also contains fiber that reduces the risk of constipation and indigestion, which helps in losing weight after childbirth.

**Plum juice**: Plum juice is considered one of the best drinks after a cesarean section, as it contains important nutritional elements such as potassium, which maintains dental health and prevents osteoporosis. It also replaces blood lost during the procedure because it contains iron. Its high fiber also helps treat constipation and promotes a feeling of fullness.

- **Spinach juice**: Adding dark leafy vegetables, such as spinach juice, to the diet after a cesarean section is beneficial, as it provides the body with high concentrations of iron necessary to replace lost blood. It also contains vitamin A, which is transferred to the infant during breastfeeding.

**Drinks after cesarean section to increase milk production**

 

The amount of breast milk is affected by several factors, including psychological factors. There are many drinks that can enhance milk production after a cesarean section, including:

- **Boiled fenugreek**: Fenugreek is considered one of the best drinks for producing milk, as it works to increase the concentration of estrogen in the blood, which enhances the secretion of the hormone prolactin, which is responsible for milk production.

- **Fennel drink**: Fennel helps increase milk secretion thanks to its galactogenic properties, which enhance the hormone prolactin in the blood.

- **Anise**: Anise also has galactogenic properties, which stimulates milk production, in addition to being a soothing to the nerves and alleviating cramps and bloating that a woman may suffer after a cesarean section.

- **Ginger**: Although there are not sufficient studies on the effect of ginger on milk production, it is recommended to consume it after a cesarean section, as it is believed to help enhance milk production and contribute to rapid recovery.

- **Garlic yogurt**: Yogurt is considered beneficial for the health of both the mother and the child after a cesarean section. Adding garlic to milk may change the taste and smell of breast milk, but it contributes to milk supply and has been used for years to stimulate milk production.

**Drinks to promote rapid recovery after cesarean section**

 

1. **Boiled or infused cinnamon**: Cinnamon is considered a traditional drink that is beneficial for women after childbirth, as it enhances blood circulation and helps blood flow to all parts of the body. It also plays an important role in combating infections that may result from a cesarean section, and contributes to tissue repair, which speeds up the healing process, so it is considered one of the best options after a cesarean section.

2. **Chamomile**: Chamomile helps relieve colic that a woman may suffer after a cesarean section, including spasms in the uterine muscles. It also relieves the symptoms of gas, nausea, and vomiting. In addition, chamomile has sedative and antidepressant properties, which helps reduce anxiety that a woman may experience after giving birth.

3. **Raspberry juice**: Fruit juices are generally considered very beneficial after a cesarean section, but raspberry juice is distinguished by its wonderful benefits, as it contains high concentrations of vitamin C and antioxidants that contribute to accelerating recovery from the operation and wound healing. It also contains fiber, which supports digestion and helps prevent postpartum constipation.

4. **Bone broth**: Chicken broth is considered beneficial for women’s health after a cesarean section, as it contains a group of amino acids that support body health. It also helps speed up healing and repair wounds thanks to its richness in collagen.

5. **Carrot juice**: Carrot juice plays an important role in accelerating the healing of wounds, because it contains vitamin A and vitamin C, which help get rid of free radicals and stimulate the production of new cells in the skin. Therefore, obtaining sufficient amounts of these vitamins contributes to a faster recovery after a cesarean section.
