Frequent massage of the uterine fundus can stimulate and contract the uterine muscles, which is very beneficial for the recovery of the uterus. Therefore, it is recommended that new mothers massage the uterine fundus more often after delivery.

2. Appropriate exercise during the postpartum period: It is generally recommended that new mothers get out of bed and move around 6-8 hours after delivery, after the skin has healed. This is beneficial to the recovery of the body's physiological functions, uterus and physical strength, and helps the uterus recover. Therefore, new mothers should not stay in bed for a long time after delivery. If possible, it is better to get out of bed and move around more.

3. Breastfeeding stimulation: In order to avoid many problems such as sagging breasts, many new mothers are unwilling to breastfeed, but choose milk powder. In fact, breastfeeding is not only beneficial to the growth and development of the baby, but also stimulates the female nipples to help the contraction of the uterus, which is very beneficial for the recovery of the uterus. In addition, nipples can also be stimulated by massaging and applying heat to the breasts.

4. Pay attention to personal hygiene: It is very important for new mothers to maintain good personal hygiene after delivery. It is not suitable to take a tub bath after delivery. It is recommended to bathe instead. This can avoid bacteria in the wounds of the vulva and the appendages. At the same time, it is very helpful for the blood circulation and healing of the vulva wounds.

5. Urinate in time: Usually new mothers need to urinate as soon as possible after delivery. During the delivery process, the bladder will be compressed and the mucosa will be in a state of congestion, which will lead to bladder congestion, causing stress on uterine contraction and causing postpartum hemorrhage or cystitis. Therefore, urinating in time after delivery can play a preventive role and help the uterus recover.
