How many days after childbirth can one drink chicken soup?

Generally, it is recommended to start consuming chicken soup in moderation around one week after childbirth.

In the early postpartum period, a woman's body is relatively weak and gastrointestinal function has not fully recovered, so the diet should be light and easily digestible. Chicken soup is rich in nutrients such as protein and vitamins, which can aid in postpartum recovery. However, consuming it too early may affect milk production and breast health due to its high fat content. Additionally, the soup shouldn't be overly greasy; it's better to use skinless chicken breast or lean meat for cooking and avoid excessive seasoning, which may irritate the stomach and intestines and affect digestion and absorption. For mothers who have had a cesarean section, due to the effects of surgery, they may need to wait until after passing gas and when intestinal function has returned to normal before starting to consume chicken soup.

If there are special conditions such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or other diseases, dietary adjustments should be made under a doctor's guidance. Also, the amount of chicken soup consumed should be moderate to avoid indigestion. Efforts should be made to remove chicken skin and fat during cooking to reduce fat content. Postpartum diets should be diverse to ensure balanced nutrition.
