My One Month Postpartum Recovery Photo Journal: Day 2

Nurse Jess

For breakfast, I had oatmeal again. There are berries, nuts, apples and banana. Great for milk production. There’s also a goji berry tea. For lunch, I had a soup. It’s made with lotus root… 山藥 (shen yao) translated as yam but it’s not the same as a sweet potato. Sparerib soup with red dates and seaweed. For dinner, we used the same soup base and added lamb, tofu, and udon noodles.
