It is extremely hard for women to go through the process of pregnancy and childbirth. After giving birth, their vitality is already greatly damaged. If they do not pay attention to maintenance during the confinement period, they are likely to catch a cold.

What should I do if my arms get cold during confinement?

If your arms get cold and you experience symptoms such as joint pain, it is best to choose Chinese medicine for syndrome differentiation and treatment, because Western medicine does not have a good way to treat diseases caused by not paying attention to rest during the confinement period or catching cold.

Suggestions: While using TCM to regulate your body and prescribe medicine, it is recommended that you also pay attention to keeping your body warm and doing appropriate activities. For example, you can do some physical exercises to improve the normal function of your arms, which is also beneficial for strengthening your physical fitness and driving away the cold in your body.

What should you pay attention to when eating after confinement?

During breastfeeding, women should avoid eating foods that can reduce milk production, such as leeks, malt, etc. Many women think that ginseng is very effective in nourishing the body, but ginseng can cause milk to dry up in postpartum women, so it is best not to eat it while breastfeeding. In addition, foods with high estrogen content, such as pigeons, old hens, etc., can also easily cause milk dryness.

Women should avoid consuming foods containing caffeine during breastfeeding, as caffeine can stimulate the nervous system. It is likely to enter the child's body through breast milk, causing damage to the child's nervous system and heart, and causing indigestion.

It is very important for women to keep warm and pay attention to daily life during the confinement period to avoid stroke. The dietary requirements during the confinement period are also relatively high. Many women think that everything will be fine after the confinement period. As long as women are still in the breastfeeding period, they should pay more attention to avoid affecting the baby's milk and their own health.

Can I take care of my baby at night during the confinement period?

During the confinement period, mothers must ensure adequate sleep at night. If they do not get enough rest, it may cause inflammation and affect their health. It is recommended that family members take care of the children together. Allow mothers to have enough time to rest, because the body's resistance is low during the confinement period and it is easy to get sick. Therefore, it is best not to take care of the baby by yourself during the confinement period.

What to do during confinement

1. Take rest

Rest is the top priority during confinement. After giving birth, you must rest at home, pay attention to sleep, and don't let yourself get too tired, but also be careful not to lie in bed for the entire month. Usually, on the second day after the baby is born, the mother should walk around and exercise her body to help with postpartum recovery.

2. Keep a happy spirit

Due to physiological changes, women after childbirth are more mentally fragile, and coupled with increased stress, they are likely to develop postpartum depression. Therefore, it is important to maintain a happy atmosphere at home, especially the husband should be more considerate of his wife and give her support both spiritually and in life.

3. Arrange your diet properly

In the first few days after delivery, the mother's body is very weak. She needs to recover her own physiological functions while taking into account breastfeeding. Therefore, she needs to replenish the body with sufficient heat energy and various nutrients. At the same time, she must also take into account the gastrointestinal function that has not yet fully recovered and maintain a light diet with balanced nutrition.

4. Keep clean and hygienic

From the second day after delivery, the mother can comb her hair, brush her teeth and rinse her mouth as usual. Combing your hair will get your blood flowing and help to refresh yourself. If you have some problems with your gums, you can wrap your fingers with gauze and rinse your mouth first. This can promote blood circulation and strengthen teeth.

5. Exercise properly

Persisting in necessary physical exercises during the confinement period and doing some postpartum gymnastics can help restore your physical condition and body shape.

6. Absolutely avoid sexual intercourse

It is best for mothers to start sexual life only after postpartum examination to determine that their bodies have fully recovered, and it is best to take contraceptive measures within one year after delivery to provide time for the uterus to fully recover.
