Confinement is an important part for Chinese mothers, and the body can recover faster when the confinement is seated. Many new mothers obediently follow the traditional Chinese customs of confinement, but they do not know that some concepts have been out, and even affect the health of mothers and babies. So, what do you need to pay attention to in science confinement?
▍Confinement diet should not be too greasy, and the meat and vegetarian combination should be reasonable
According to the traditional Chinese confinement, it is inevitable that big fish and big meat, but the new mother who has just given birth is not suitable for eating too greasy.
After giving birth, it is too greasy to eat, not only adults can't stand it, but even babies who eat breast milk also suffer. Because eating too greasy food, the digestion of the mother and the baby will be affected, and it is easy to cause the mother's breast duct to block, causing breast blockage, milk stasis, and even mastitis and other problems.
The diet of new mothers in the confinement can be biased towards foods that are easily absorbed, high in protein, and high in nutrients. The diet during confinement should be reasonable with meat and vegetables, and it should be easy to digest, and it should also eat some fruits, and avoid eating raw and cold, irritating foods.
In the first two weeks of confinement, you can drink some porridge, such as millet porridge, rice porridge, etc., and the side dishes are mainly eggs, fish, meat soup and vegetables. Two weeks after confinement, staple foods can eat rice, dumplings, etc., and side foods can add soup dishes and stir-fry dishes.
▍Confinement rest environment do not be too noisy, visitors should be as few as possible
For a mother who has just given birth, what she needs most is rest. Having a clean environment allows the new mother to get a fuller rest. However, many places have the custom of visiting the mother and baby during the confinement period, either to show concern or to return the favor. For whatever reason, visiting the mother and baby during confinement can affect their rest. If you are confinement and encounter holidays such as New Year's Day and National Day, it is even more difficult to think of quietness between relatives and friends.
In order to allow the mother and baby to rest better, visitors should be rejected as much as possible during the confinement period. If it is really difficult to refuse, try to let the guests look at the baby a little, do not let the baby contact too many people. Especially during the season when the flu is high, in case your baby is infected.
In fact, newborns spend most of their time sleeping, when guests visit, they can let the elders and husbands receive, and the mother can accompany the baby in the room. Usually, the mother and baby are sleeping, and the guests will not insist on waking them up.
▍Confinement do not cover too much, pay attention to ventilation in the bedroom
According to the concept of the older generation, confinement must be covered, the doors and windows of the home must be closed, and the mother and baby cannot blow the wind.
Although neither the mother nor the baby can blow the wind, the confinement room must be regularly opened for ventilation and ventilation, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria, which is not good for the health of the mother and the baby.
In addition, the mother and baby should also be dressed moderately, and cannot be covered, otherwise it is easy to cover up the disease. Mothers-in-law or mothers-in-law who are always worried about the cold of the mother and baby have ever thought that if they wear too much and too thick, they will also be hot. Especially for pregnant women, it is easy to sweat after childbirth, it is easier to sweat if it is too tight, and if it is not dried in time after sweating, it is easier to catch a cold. Maternity clothing should be based on the principle of wide, soft, warm and comfortable, try to choose clothes with good breathability, sweat absorption and warmth, and clothes should be changed and washed frequently.
▍Confinement do not lie too much, proper exercise is very important
Confinement is about resting more! However, more rest does not mean lying still all day long. Some women are basically uncomfortable during confinement and lie on the bed, thinking that this is the best rest, in order to make the body recover faster.
On the contrary, lying in bed for a long time and not moving down, it is not conducive to lochia discharge, and it is not conducive to physical recovery. After giving birth to the baby, as long as you can get out of bed and move around, the medical staff will encourage you to get out of bed and move around more, because walking more is more conducive to the discharge of lochia, more conducive to blood circulation, in order to make the body recover faster.
As the body recovers, postpartum mothers can gradually exercise, not just walk around. However, after childbirth, mothers should not exercise because they are in a hurry to lose weight, and the confinement period is actually not the time for you to exercise to lose weight. During the month, your first task is to restore your physical energy as soon as possible, so that the organs of the body can recover faster, and you can start losing weight earlier and let the body recover faster.
▍ If conditions permit, you can choose the confinement center
Like in third- and fourth-tier cities such as Jiujiang, the price of confinement centers ranges from thousands to tens of thousands, and the choice of monthly search is basically tens of thousands, and the confinement centers have professional postpartum repair and baby care teams, scientific and healthy confinement meals, rich confinement activities, etc., which are incomparable to confinement sisters-in-law. Moreover, going to the confinement center can also avoid some family mother-in-law contradictions to a certain extent. Therefore, the confinement center has become the first choice for most young people to sit in confinement.
