How to improve your physical fitness after childbirth?

After giving birth, women’s physical condition will be weaker and they will be more prone to illness. If they are not well taken care of, they will have lifelong illnesses. Therefore, many women have the custom of confinement after giving birth, which is very important for women. So how do you improve your physical fitness after childbirth? Let’s take a look at the content of the article below.

1. Don't do housework, even if it's as small as peeling melon seeds, or your fingernails will hurt. Don't do things like folding clothes. It is best to have your mother-in-law or mother take care of you during the confinement period. If they don’t have time, then hire a confinement nanny. Anyway, there is nothing I can do.

2. Also, eat small meals frequently and eat more nutritious foods, such as pork kidneys, because lying in bed for a long time is not good for the waist.

3. Drink brown sugar water instead of plain water.

5. Don’t be blown by the wind. If it is winter, it is best to wear a woolen hat at home.

6. Don’t watch TV, it will cause eye discomfort.

7. When you first start confinement, it is best not to eat rice. You can eat noodles or porridge. You can eat noodles in a variety of ways, such as chicken noodle soup, shredded pork noodles, kidney noodles, etc. After about two weeks, you can eat soft cooked rice. You can't eat spicy food such as chili peppers. You can’t eat anything like melon seeds or fried foods, and you can’t eat anything crispy either, as they’re bad for your teeth.

8. Try not to wash your hair or take a bath in winter as you may catch a cold easily. The water used for washing face, brushing teeth, washing feet, etc. must be boiled water that has cooled to a moderate temperature before use. Be sure not to mix cold water with boiling water, as that is not good.

9. When you put your baby to sleep, don’t put his head on your shoulders or hands, as this will cause pain in your hands.
