In the early days of her pregnancy, she had already found a confinement center, but her mother-in-law changed her mind.
The mother-in-law swore and said: "I gave birth to two children myself, and I helped your sister serve the confinement and take care of the children, and the experience is much richer than that of the confinement sister." It is also convenient to take care of you and your children at home, and it is more warm and pleasant at home to help you recover."
So, Minwen went home after giving birth.
On the first day of her mother-in-law's confinement service, Minwen was stunned. For the first meal at home, my mother-in-law made four soups, namely crucian carp tofu soup, black chicken soup, soybean hoof soup, loofah soup, and six boiled eggs.
Minwen said that she couldn't eat, so her mother-in-law said: "You are not eating for yourself now, eating is for milk, if you don't suffer, the child will suffer, watch it yourself!"
With tears in her eyes, she drank the greasy soup in one gulp, and after a while, she spit it out with a "wow-" in one gulp.
As soon as my husband came back, my mother-in-law began to complain: "Your daughter-in-law is too squeamish, I have tried my best to cook some food, meat and vegetables are matched, the nutrition is balanced, and I vomited it out after two sips......!
For breakfast the next day, my mother-in-law made millet porridge, boiled eggs, and boiled vegetables, which was mainly light, but there was not a grain of salt in it, and my mother-in-law said that it was not good for children to eat salt.
Minwen picked up the food and tasted it, but it was really hard to swallow. Minwen took a picture of the meal and posted it to Moments.
The next day, Minwen thought that her husband had gone out to work, but she didn't expect that he took Minwen's own mother over, asked her to help take care of the confinement, and drove her mother back to her hometown.
"Confinement feud" is a knot that many families can't let go
I often hear some netizens say that "confinement hatred" can not be forgotten for the rest of my life, and when my mother-in-law is old, don't expect me to take care of her. The days of confinement are the most difficult, the weak body needs to recover, and the spirit is particularly fragile, and it is the time when the family needs to take care of it the most.
First, some mothers-in-law do not care for their daughters-in-law, and always compare themselves with the situation of their own confinement decades ago, hoping that the hardships they have endured will be re-experienced by their daughters-in-law, so that she can also understand that it was not easy for her at the beginning.
There is also a kind of mother-in-law who loves her daughter-in-law very much, but the knowledge is very lacking, the diet is either big fish and meat or all kinds of soup, and nursing newborns is also old-fashioned, and it is really difficult to integrate with the views of young people nowadays, and it is expected that conflicts will occur.
Some people are willing to hire a confinement nanny, and some people live in expensive confinement centers, but most women still feel more secure at home.
Whether it is a mother-in-law or a mother-in-law, you should learn some knowledge of maternal and newborn care in advance in order to better take care of your family.
After a pregnant woman gives birth, the whole confinement period can be divided into four stages, and we should adjust the structure of her diet according to the recovery of the mother's body, and we should have a focus.
The first stage is the lochia discharge period of 1~3 days postpartum.
1~3 days after giving birth, it is not suitable to immediately use some chicken soup and hoof soup to tonic, because the mother has just given birth, the body is very weak, and the gastrointestinal digestion function is not good, which is more suitable for a light and easy-to-digest diet.
For example, millet porridge, barley porridge, lighter fish soup, softer vegetables, steamed eggs. Some lactation-boosting soups are not suitable for drinking, and are mainly based on well-absorbed nutrients.
In the second stage, 3~5 days after giving birth, replenish qi and blood.
The recovery of the maternal body is a relatively long process, after three days after giving birth, the physical strength has recovered, you can eat more things to replenish qi and blood, such as millet, eggs, brown sugar, noodles, etc., you can also add some vegetables and proteins, such as animal liver, which is conducive to replenishing qi and blood.
Of course, we should try to adjust the diet according to the taste of the mother.
The third stage, 5~7 days postpartum, prepares for breastfeeding.
With the passage of time after childbirth, the mother's physical condition is also improving, with a great recovery, and the diet can also be appropriately changed. When babies are breastfed, the amount of food they eat is also increasing, and mothers can add some foods that are conducive to lactation, such as chicken soup, crucian carp soup, bone broth, and hoof soup (pig, sheep, cow, etc.).
These foods are rich in protein, which can skim off the fat on the surface and make breast milk fuller. You can also add some fresh vegetables and fruits according to the taste of the mother to supplement vitamins.
The fourth stage, 7-30 days postpartum, is the physical recovery stage.
One week after the mother gave birth, her body has changed a lot, and she can continue to maintain the previous nutritious diet, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and balanced nutrition.
However, we also pay attention not to eat cold, spicy, stimulating food, eat vegetables, fruits must be fresh, if it is a relatively cold fruit, it is recommended to take it out of the refrigerator, blanched with hot water for a while, good for the stomach.
30 days of confinement, it is very difficult for the mother, the care and understanding of the family is very important, scientific maintenance can make the body recover quickly, a happy mood is also a guarantee of health, the harmony and hard work of the family, is the happiest.
