For the postpartum confinement, the Chinese people have always attached great importance to it. However, there are still a few people who will feel that the taboo in the confinement is too pretentious. They not only use the elderly to work after giving birth to children to support their own views, but also take the women of the european and American countries next door not to sit in confinement to step on. What is even more interesting is that for some purpose, there is even a saying that "confinement disease should be cured".
Friends said that after she gave birth last year, because there was no one to take care of her, many things were done by herself during the month. As a result, I now have a sore waist and a lot of pain.
Usually, I did not spend less money on treatment, but the effect was very small. After the mother-in-law knew, she said that she was a confinement disease, so that she could have a second child, and the confinement could be cured by good conditioning.
Presumably, mothers have heard this kind of saying, and even half-doubted whether the confinement disease can be cured during the month. Here to give the mothers a wake-up call, the old saying of confinement disease confinement treatment, the premise is that you must be able to recuperate. Otherwise, not only can not maintain the body well, but even aggravate the symptoms of confinement disease.
Therefore, instead of thinking about making amends after the fact, it is better to sit safely and steadily. Regarding the taboos in the confinement, in fact, mothers have also heard about it. Some of the older generation's claims do have a scientific basis, and they are not willing to listen to it. But the following few things, during the confinement period, do not be strong, otherwise even if you sit for 42 days of confinement, it will not help, this month is considered to be wasted.
Feed your child
During confinement, in order to avoid falling back pain, mothers must maintain the correct feeding posture. When sitting and feeding, take a pillow pad on the back of the waist to avoid hanging in the waist and exerting long-term force.
If you are sitting on a sofa or chair to feed, it is best to prepare a slightly lower stool. When feeding your child to the right breast, put your right foot on the stool. This makes it easier for children to eat milk and reduces the force on the waist.
In addition, when holding your child to breastfeed, try to use your arm as hard as possible, and don't always use your wrist to hold the baby, otherwise it is easy to suffer from tenosynovitis. Each feeding time should not be too long, usually about 20 minutes.
Coax your child to sleep
After giving birth, the mother's body is in an extremely weak stage, and it is necessary to get sufficient rest during the month. But if you run into a child who is sleeping upside down, it is simply torturous, and you have to stay up until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night almost every night. If the child still eats night milk frequently, then the mothers really watch all the moons in the early morning.
Feeding the child cannot be replaced by others, but at least the family can help coax the child to sleep. Mothers should not be too strong, motherly love is overflowing, and all the work with the baby is borne by themselves.
Wash your face with cool water and blow cold air
During confinement, mothers are prone to sweating. If you encounter a hot summer again, it is a kind of torture. As a result, there are always some mothers who want to covet a momentary coolness. Not only did he wear short-sleeved shorts, but he also adjusted the indoor temperature very low, and confinement shoes and socks were even more reluctant to wear. As for washing your face, you also have no scruples and use cold water directly.
Here we should remind mothers, don't be reckless, cold in the month, it is easy to cause osteoarthritis. Not only will it aggravate the weakness of the body, but also there will be symptoms such as joint pain, fear of cold and fear of wind.
In addition, although they also have to be active often during the month, mothers should not be forced to do housework and do heavy work. If the work can be pushed back, don't rush to take over for the time being. As for the diet in the confinement, be sure to be regular and nutritious, and don't wronged yourself. Otherwise, symptoms such as anemia, fatigue and chest tightness are easy to occur.
