What can't you eat during the confinement period?

The confinement period refers to the period when a woman's body recovers after a miscarriage or premature birth due to various reasons. The health of a woman's body is very critical during the confinement period. She needs to pay more attention to her diet during this period. She should not eat spicy or stimulating foods during the confinement period as they are not conducive to her body's recovery.

What can’t you eat during confinement?

1. Spicy food. The body is very weak after the short confinement period. At this time, you should pay attention to eating light food. There is a wound on the uterus. If you eat spicy food, it will easily cause the wound to become inflamed and infected, which will be difficult to heal completely. Only by eating light and nutritious food can the body recover.

2. Stimulating food. For example, coffee, strong tea, garlic, etc. are all irritating foods. They can easily damage the stomach, causing constipation, and then lead to intestinal cramps and cause congestion, edema and other problems, making people feel particularly uncomfortable.

3. Raw and cold food. People should not eat ice cream, cold drinks, crabs and all other cold foods, otherwise it will cause blood stasis in the body that cannot be eliminated, and it will be difficult for the body to recover.

What should you pay attention to when doing confinement?

1. During the confinement period, you cannot drink cold water, eat raw or cold food, touch cold water, wash your hair or take a bath, or be blown by cold wind. Rinse the vulva with warm water every day, change underwear frequently, use hot water to wash your face, hands and feet, and drink hot water that is not hot enough to burn your mouth.

2. Although they need a lot of nourishment, mothers who have just given birth do not need to breastfeed, so try not to drink soup (any kind of soup) before their milk supply stops. When eating stir-fried dishes, remember to add ginger slices. If possible, use black sesame oil to stir-fry.

3. Just like during the confinement period, you should use your eyes less, keep warm, and rest in bed more. However, you should also get some exercise and walk around more at home. Try not to go out. It will be troublesome to get a headache if you are exposed to cold wind.

4. Do not have sex during the confinement period. Many people feel that they have just lost a child and want to have another one immediately. This idea is not a good idea. Women should get sufficient rest and their uterus should get sufficient rest before having a baby, so do not get pregnant within six months.
