The tradition usually waits until about day 12

“Feeding is hard work. Keep the soup coming.”

What the tradition says

The tradition holds that this is 驅風驅寒、幫助上奶.

After a caesarean

開刀21日後, day 21 after a caesarean, against day 12 after a vaginal birth. The same practitioner strand also says to avoid ginger entirely after a caesarean and substitute 陳皮, which would remove the dish altogether; record both positions. No evidence was located that culinary ginger impairs wound healing.
