In order to prevent mothers from suffering from confinement diseases, confinement care methods are particularly important. So how should we take care of ourselves during the confinement period? It is said among the people that if we do a good job in confinement period, it is a woman's chance to be reborn. So in order to ensure that women recover quickly after giving birth, how should postpartum care and postpartum recovery be carried out?

1. Pay attention to proper work and rest. Due to the exertion during childbirth, the mother consumes a lot of physical energy and feels very tired after giving birth. Therefore, within the first 24 hours after delivery, the mother should rest in bed, and then she can get up and move around a little indoors. This can promote the discharge of lochia, help the uterus recover as soon as possible, and also help with smooth defecation and urination after delivery. The mother should get enough sleep and rest during the entire postpartum period and should not engage in physical labor. Also, don't lie in bed all day because you are afraid of vaginal pain. This is not conducive to your body's recovery.

2. Pay attention to the nutrition of your diet and avoid overnutrition. This is an important condition for the mother's physical recovery. Eat more soupy foods and pay attention to the reasonable combination of vegetables, meat and fruits. At the same time, don't neglect to supplement enough dairy products!

3. Protect the breasts. After delivery, the baby should be allowed to suckle early to promote early and increased milk secretion, which is also beneficial to the health of the breasts and the contraction of the uterus. You also need to choose the correct breastfeeding posture to prevent nipple diseases. Breastfeed on demand according to the baby's needs, and empty the milk after each feeding; wash the breasts with warm water at least twice a day to keep the breasts clean and hygienic, increase the elasticity of the suspensory ligaments, and prevent breast sagging. Choose a bra that is appropriately tight to give it the best support. The breastfeeding period should not be too long. Consider weaning when the child is 10 months old. In addition, new mothers should pay attention to rest, maintain a good spirit, enhance the body's resistance, and reduce the occurrence of mastitis.

4. Pay attention to the hygiene of the perineum. After childbirth, especially during the postpartum period, there is a lot of secretions in the perineum, so special attention should be paid to hygiene. You can rinse the vulva 1-3 times a day with warm water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, keep the perineum clean and dry, and change sanitary pads frequently.

5. Pay attention to urination. Soon after delivery, the urine volume is generally large, and you should urinate as soon as possible to avoid bladder expansion and hindering the recovery of the uterus. If the mother still has not urinated 6 to 8 hours after delivery, you can encourage and help her to get out of bed to urinate.

6. Prevent constipation. Most women have undergone enema during childbirth, and the stool has been emptied, so there may be no bowel movement within 2 days after delivery. Due to bed rest after childbirth, intestinal motility is weakened, and the pain in the perineum and the unwillingness to defecate often lead to constipation. Family members can encourage and help the mother to defecate. If necessary, they can use enema to insert into the anus to help defecation. Pregnant women with hemorrhoids should avoid constipation.

7. Face, hair, eyes, and teeth: Postpartum women are physically tired and have to take care of their babies, so they will not get enough sleep, which will cause their facial skin to become loose. Therefore, they should ensure that they get at least 8 hours of sleep a day. After delivery, you should also pay attention to a diversified diet and replenish protein, vitamins and minerals in time to help hair growth. Keep brushing your teeth, take appropriate calcium supplements and appropriate amounts of vitamins A and B to make your eyes bright.

8. Pay attention to maintaining your body shape: Women may develop "reproductive obesity" after childbirth. They should pay attention to a reasonable diet, not overeat, eat small meals frequently, and have a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables, and eat less animal fat and sweets. At the same time, we should actively adhere to proper exercise to prevent obesity.
