Traditional wisdom + Ayurvedic support from Nuskha
Motherhood brings joy, but also challenges — especially during recovery. Nutrition plays a huge role in healing the body, boosting energy, and producing breast milk. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions (and our expert answers) to help guide new moms on what to eat and avoid after childbirth.
1. What should I eat to heal faster after C-section?
After a C-section, your body needs soft, healing foods rich in protein, calcium, and healthy fats. Nuskha recommends:
Gond laddoos – rich in protein, iron, and edible gum for bone and uterine recovery
Panjiri – warm, wholesome, and loaded with nuts, seeds, and ghee
Haldi milk – anti-inflammatory and perfect for faster internal healing
Soups and khichdi – light and easy on digestion
Tip: Avoid raw salads or heavy spices for at least 10–15 days.
2. What is the best diet for breastfeeding mothers?
To support lactation and maintain your energy, your meals should be balanced and natural. Include:
Shatavari Herb Mix – balances hormones, boosts milk production
Jeera Herb Mix – improves digestion and lactation
Ragi Laddoos – rich in calcium, iron, and great for milk quality
Daliya (roasted) – loaded with fiber and energy
Plenty of fluids – especially ajwain water, haldi milk, and coconut water
These foods not only improve breast milk quantity but also make it more nutritious for your baby.
3. What foods should I avoid after delivery in the Indian diet?
Certain foods can slow down recovery, cause gas, or affect milk supply. Avoid:
Cold or refrigerated items – may disrupt body’s internal warmth needed for healing
Raw vegetables or uncooked sprouts – hard to digest
Heavy, deep-fried, spicy foods – can cause acidity, gas, and discomfort
Packaged or processed foods – poor nutrient value, high in salt/sugar
At Nuskha, we believe food should heal — not harm.
4. How can I increase breast milk naturally at home?
Nature has powerful herbs to support lactation, and Nuskha uses these age-old ingredients in modern blends:
Shatavari – supports hormonal balance and milk flow
Jeera (Cumin) – improves digestion and helps in milk secretion
Methi (Fenugreek) – enhances quantity and quality of milk
Haldi (Turmeric) – supports immunity and inflammation control
Ajwain (Carom seeds) – aids digestion and reduces colic in babies

5. Can I have dry fruits after delivery?
Yes! Dry fruits are highly recommended — they provide energy, protein, and essential fatty acids needed for recovery and breastfeeding.
Include:
Almonds – for brain and body strength
Cashews & Walnuts – rich in healthy fats and zinc
Raisins & Figs – to relieve constipation and increase iron
Dry fruit laddoos – perfect for snacking and nourishment
Tip: Start with soaked almonds and gradually include roasted or powdered nuts into your meals.
6. How do I regain energy and strength after childbirth?
Recovery is slow without the right fuel. Traditional Indian remedies work best when they’re nutrient-dense and gentle on the stomach. Nuskha recommends:
Multigrain laddoos – for stamina and gut health
Roasted daliya – rich in fiber, keeps energy stable
Ajwain water & Haldi milk – for internal strength and immunity
Iron-rich foods – jaggery, dates, leafy greens
With the right daily routine and Ayurvedic support, your strength comes back faster than expected.
