Precautions for postpartum women

1. After giving birth, you need to stay in bed for 14 days. Except for eating and going to the toilet, it is best to stay in bed for the rest of the time, which is conducive to wound recovery and uterine contraction.

(Still try to rest after 14 days, but avoid getting cold, otherwise it will leave a root cause for headaches and joint pain in the future)

2. Eat mutton liver soup and barley rice to clear the waste from the uterus

3. Avoid certain foods:

● Do not eat ginseng and leeks, otherwise milk will stop flowing

●Dietary taboos: Do not eat wolfberries. The only time in your life when you should not eat wolfberries is during the confinement period, because wolfberries can increase your vital energy, making you excited and restless, unable to rest peacefully.

●Be careful when bathing and washing your hair.

According to tradition, women are not allowed to take a bath or wash their hair during the confinement period. In fact, it is allowed to wash your hair and take a bath during the confinement period, but you cannot use yin and yang water (this refers to a mixture of hot and cold water that has not been boiled. Because the water is not boiled, it may contain bacteria. The capillaries of the mother's body are open during the confinement period, and bacteria can easily enter the mother's body and cause trouble). Instead, use boiled water (cooled to a suitable temperature) or alcohol heated in a water bath to take a bath or wash your hair.

● Do not eat raw, cold, sour, salt, and MSG because they are not easily metabolized and will increase the burden on the internal organs.

4. Try to hold your baby as little as possible during the confinement period, neither while sitting nor standing (since the joints are open during the confinement period, holding the baby will add burden to the joints and leave the root of future diseases)

5. If you are swollen during confinement, drink red bean porridge
