Prepared to be told I'm wrong. So, is food with salt allowed after a c-section? Assuming there are no hypertension problems or other problems.

I can't see why not, and I've had two sections. No one has told me not to. Confused

Why do you think you would you not be able to? Unless you have some medical reasons etc., its totes fine.

I mean, they made me wait about 12 hours after mine before I could eat anything I wanted, but there was no restriction about salt.

My sil had a baby yesterday. I made her chicken soup today and sent it in with my dad. My brother just bought it back and said she can't eat it because its got salt in it and the doctors have told her not to eat salt as it will infect her section scar. Hmm

I sent in a whole bag of unused clothes of my ds's aswell. No thanks or anything.

I thought salt was a disinfectant?

Salt in wounds hurts like hell, but it cleans it!

Isn't salt good to ward against infections?

Salt is great for wounds.

That is true. When you have oral surgery they tell you to gargle with salt water to prevent infection.

She's a cow.

Yes. Salt is a preservative and prevents things from going off. I was going to send in my arnica tablets too, but I'll let the bitch suffer the pain now.
