I delivered about a month back and im breastfeeding. My family wants me to add millets to my diet for recovery but im not sure which ones are ok right now. Is little millet good post delivery? anyone added it?
Since i watched my sugar after delivery too, little millet was a great swap for white rice for me. It's lower GI and kept me full. If you're managing any sugar levels postpartum, it's a smart pick, just keep portions sensible.
We give samai a lot to new mothers at home, it's gentle on the stomach and fills you up. My mother made it as a soft pongal style dish in my confinement days. As long as your digestion is comfortable, it's a wholesome choice.
Yes little millet is lovely postpartum, i ate samai during my breastfeeding days and it's light and nourishing. It's easy to digest and gives good energy when you're up all night feeding. Just have it warm and well cooked, my body really liked it.
Those early postpartum weeks were such a blur for me, and warm millet meals were so comforting. Little millet is good and easy on the tummy when everything feels overwhelming. Eat what settles well and be gentle with yourself.
