Confinement, as a traditional custom of "Chinese mothers only offering", there are many old rules that are often complained about. However, the young mother can't stand to listen to her mother's words:
Mom is mom, she said, "Oh, the traditional rules definitely have their reason, you can't take a bath!" ”
The mother-in-law is also a mother, and she said: "This is for your own good!" Can't turn on the air conditioner, confinement is affected by the wind to get confinement disease. ”
In fact, confinement does have to listen to the words of "mother" - mother-in-law and mother-in-law are mothers, but don't forget, confinement you, is also a mother!
Scientific confinement, their own body to decide, to take good care of the body, is the greatest responsibility for themselves and the baby.
"Confinement can't wash your hair, take a bath and brush your teeth, otherwise you will have headaches and toothaches later!" You have to learn to live in harmony with the smell of your body..."
After listening to the old man's words with a smile, he turned around and took a good shower to relax
If you don't want to be "magically attacked" by the smell of sweat and milk and other sour smells during the month, your mother still has to take a normal bath to wash your hair and brush your teeth during confinement, and it is recommended not to take a bath.
In fact, personal hygiene should be paid more attention to during the month. During the month, new mothers have to excrete lochia, breastfeed, sweat more than usual, these situations are actually more than usual need to pay more attention to cleaning. Therefore, the perineum and breasts should be carefully washed when bathing, otherwise germs will invade and may increase the risk of puerperal infection.
Brushing teeth is also a good habit to maintain, if you do not brush your teeth will produce a series of oral diseases, including plaque, breath, gum bleeding, etc., new mothers or obediently brush their teeth every day!
"Confinement should be covered, can not turn on air conditioning, electric fans, can not blow the wind, otherwise the confinement disease and you for a lifetime!"
After listening with a smile, back to the bedroom, the window should be opened for ventilation, the air conditioning fan is also open if you want to open, the temperature should not be adjusted too low, and the air outlet should not be blown at yourself and the baby.
In fact, if you think about it, you know that the idea that you can't blow the wind is groundless: Isn't there an air conditioner in the hospital when you give birth? Especially in the summer confinement, no ventilation, no air conditioning, but also long clothes and pants to wear hats?!
This is the rhythm of heat stroke! Every summer, there will be news that a pregnant woman will be heat stroked and enter the hospital because of the custom of "confinement cannot blow the wind" - this bad habit of "covering the confinement" is not a pit daddy, but a pit mother!
"Confinement is about sitting, you can't get out of bed, you can't go out, otherwise you will have back pain!"
After laughing and listening, get out of bed and hang out, or let your husband accompany you, go out for a walk for a while, breathe.
"Lying flat" at home during the "confinement"? Watch out for blood clots in your lower extremities! In order to reduce blood loss during childbirth, the body of a new mother will produce some changes, so that the blood in the body is in a state of hypercoagulation before and after childbirth.
This is originally the mechanism of the body's self-protection, if you stay in bed for a long time, the lower limbs are easy to form blood clots, once moved with the blood to the heart and lungs, it will even be life-threatening.
"You can't add salt to the meals in the month, and if you eat salt, you will get back to your milk!"
Insist on a light diet, and occasionally let your husband buy a salt-baked chicken to come back to relieve his hunger.
A light diet is right, but less salt doesn't mean no salt! New mothers sweat a lot, the body salt is easily lost, and the appropriate amount of salt supplementation helps the body recover after childbirth. The salt put in normal stir-fry cooking will not affect the milk.
So, let the new moms go and let them eat well. The postpartum diet only needs to pay attention to not eating raw food, do not supplement, and eat seafood to pay attention to whether there is an allergy problem.
During the month, the family is busy with the baby.
New mothers are in the midst of a shift in role, nursing, caring for their babies, and physically and mentally exhausted. At this time, the help of the old man was really a charcoal in the snow. They sacrificed their leisurely old age to help with the baby and take care of the mother's confinement, and we should be truly grateful.
Although some of the elderly's confinement experience may be inappropriate, their starting point is also well-intentioned. Therefore, on the one hand, parents must have scientific confinement knowledge reserves, on the other hand, they must also use wisdom to gently resolve differences with the elderly. A good family atmosphere is also conducive to the recuperation and rest of new mothers.
The time of "confinement" is often the "run-in period" when a family adapts to how to "harmonize but different" and respect each other's habits and work together to take care of the baby.
Just remember the common goal: the mother rests well, the baby takes good care of it, and the "confinement" can also be warm and comfortable.
