After giving birth, if there is significant bleeding, it is important to promptly determine the cause and deal with it accordingly. Only addressing the specific cause will be effective. Once the bleeding has stopped, one can consider whether the mother can consume brown sugar based on her condition post-delivery. If the birth was vaginal, drinking brown sugar water is permissible as it can replenish energy, aid in recovery, and help with blood formation. However, if the birth was by cesarean section, due to the anesthesia used which affects gastrointestinal motility, particularly in the initial days following the surgery when normal gas expulsion has not resumed, consuming brown sugar is not advisable.
