Post-natal Food

|


   
In India, postpartum/ post natal food and drinks are given much importance. In konkani, post-partum woman is called as "balanti " (बाळंती).
In this page, I would like to mention the traditional post-natal foods and drinks followed in typical Konkani households. Some sweets and drinks are really help full for women , to ensure sufficient lactation, strengthening of the bones, and help reinvigorate and revitalize the mothers to experience a successful joy of motherhood. 

I have collected some from my mother in-law and mother. So thought of sharing with you all.

For Lactation:
Dudh miri.
Kashaya
Metti porridge.
Khiri

To Strengthen the bones and regain energy:
Hatvan/rando
Laddoos:Dinka Laddo,Aaliv laddo. Eating one ladoo daily from 11th day is considered to be good for health.

Other ladoos :Rava laddo,Wheat flour laddo,Besan laddo are also considered to be good for health.
