Taboos of postpartum care

In fact, in daily life, you need to pay special attention to your body after giving birth, and there are many taboos after childbirth. Such taboos need to be paid attention to, otherwise it is likely to lead to bad effects, especially after normal delivery, you cannot touch cold water, and you must pay attention to keeping warm. Let us learn about the taboos of postpartum care.

Avoid not brushing your teeth

Many older generations say that you should not brush your teeth for a month during the confinement period, otherwise all your teeth will fall out. Within one month after giving birth, the mother's body functions have not yet recovered, so she should not stick to cold or frozen things, otherwise it is easy to develop diseases. However, if the oral cavity is not effectively cleaned during the confinement period, it is easy to cause problems such as pregnancy gingivitis and periodontal disease, so it is necessary to brush your teeth.

Avoid fatigue

After giving birth, a woman may suffer a perineum tear, and the best way to recover is to keep her legs together and rest more. Modern doctors will first cut the perineum of the new mother during delivery and then suture it, so new mothers should also "sit on the month of confinement". Although it does not mean lying completely in bed without moving, they should still rest as much as possible, avoid climbing stairs, and avoid overwork.

Avoid eating too much MSG

In order to prevent the baby from suffering from zinc deficiency, mothers should avoid eating too much MSG. Generally speaking, it is beneficial and harmless for adults to eat MSG, but it is not good for infants, especially those under 12 weeks old, if their mothers who are breastfeeding consume too much MSG while taking a high-protein diet. Because the sodium glutamate in MSG will enter the baby's body through breast milk. Excessive sodium glutamate has a serious impact on the development of infants, especially those under 12 weeks old. It can specifically combine with zinc in the infant's blood to produce glutamate that cannot be absorbed by the body, while the zinc is excreted in the urine, thus leading to zinc deficiency in the infant. In this way, the infant is not only prone to poor taste and anorexia, but also may suffer from adverse consequences such as intellectual impairment, growth retardation, etc.

Avoid taking ginseng in a hurry

It is harmful rather than beneficial to rush to use ginseng to nourish your body. New mothers who have just given birth have consumed a lot of energy and physical strength and need to rest in bed. If they take ginseng at this time, they will find it difficult to fall asleep due to excitement, which will affect their energy recovery.

The above article has given you a detailed introduction to the taboos of postpartum care. I believe that everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding, so in daily life, you still need to pay attention to this aspect, otherwise it will easily lead to poor health in the future.
