"Confinement" is a critical period to help mothers successfully go through the physical and psychological transitions of life.
Modern medicine believes that after giving birth, a woman's body undergoes major changes, and various systems need to be adjusted and restored; Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a woman's body is in a state of "insufficient blood and qi deficiency" after giving birth. During the confinement period, many mothers blindly believe in the traditional method of confinement and fall into confinement disease. If you can stick to your bottom line and have a scientific confinement, you will be able to get through this torturous period comfortably.
Stick to breast milk and start breastfeeding as early as possible
When the baby was born, Wu Li did not have much breast milk, the baby was also hungry, and the mother-in-law was even more distressed and wanted to feed the baby milk powder, but Wu Li was not forced to give up breast milk under pressure, but continued to let the baby suck, but did not expect that in less than ten minutes, the baby drank breast milk smoothly.
Mothers should remember that the best time to open milk is within half an hour after giving birth, and let the baby suck fully, which can not only stimulate milk secretion, but also help the uterine contraction and postpartum body recovery.
Brush your teeth properly and bathe properly
After giving birth, the mother's hormones have not fully recovered, the gums are very easy to bleed, and the mother will take a lot of food during the confinement period, if you do not take good care of your teeth, it is easy to breed bacteria, caries or periodontal disease. Otherwise, there are too many mothers who go to see their teeth after confinement. Mothers can brush their teeth during confinement, but choose a special toothbrush for mothers, if not, choose a soft bristles, and use warm water to rinse your mouth when brushing your teeth.
Many old people say that they can't take a bath during confinement, and when the body is really weak after giving birth, it is very easy to catch a cold, but the doctor told us that after seven days of normal delivery, after the wound of caesarean delivery is completely healed, as long as the warmth measures are done enough, it is easy to take a bath, and it is easy to cause genital infection if you do not take a bath for a long time, and it is easy to bring germs to the child through breastfeeding, causing diarrhea in the baby.
Get out of bed in time
There was a message from a mother, saying that she listened to the old man and lay on the bed after giving birth, but after lying down for 10 days, she felt pain at the root of her left thigh, and the examination was a deep vein thrombosis, which would be dangerous if it developed into pulmonary embolism.
Mothers who give birth spontaneously can get out of bed to urinate and defecate 6~8 hours after giving birth, and can get out of bed slightly after 24 hours, and mothers with episiotomy can get out of bed later, and move in bed after 3 days according to the situation.
Mothers who have had a caesarean section should be absolutely bedridden for 24 hours after giving birth, and on the third day, they can move in bed according to the situation.
Eat eggs and drink brown sugar in moderation
Brown sugar and eggs are essential foods for mothers, and some mothers have to eat more than 20 eggs a day during confinement, and they want to vomit when they hear eggs during confinement.
Depending on the health of the body, it is enough for the mother to eat 3 eggs a day after giving birth. Eating too much will increase the burden of digestion, and in severe cases, it may also lead to protein poisoning syndrome, which is harmful to your health.
The brown sugar is warm, beneficial to qi, blood circulation and stasis, it is best to drink it in the first ten days after giving birth, and you can stop drinking it after the blood deficiency condition improves.
Don't get angry
Confinement is not a person's business, many people in the family will come to take care of it, say anything, plus the concept is different, as the so-called people talk a lot, it is inevitable that there will be things that make the new mother uncomfortable, at this time you must think more about the child, don't be angry! I have seen many people get angry during confinement, resulting in the return of milk, but also the disease of breast nodules.
Every mother is great, and she has endured so much pain for her baby, so as a family member, whether it is during pregnancy or after childbirth, you should give your mother enough care and care, so that her mother will feel more secure in her heart, and her mood will naturally improve.
