Can I use my phone during the confinement period?

New mothers who are in confinement can play with their mobile phones. Sometimes playing with mobile phones can help new mothers relieve boredom, and they can also master the professional knowledge of parenting education, so that new mothers will not be too overwhelmed. But you should be careful not to look at your phone for a long time. The confinement period should be focused on repairing the body. If you look at the phone for a long time, it may cause fatigue around the eyes and discomfort in the hands and elbows. So, what are the many things that new mothers need to pay attention to when using their mobile phones during the confinement period? Let’s discuss it.

1. Watching the phone should not affect your work and rest schedule. If you get less rest during the confinement period, it is easy to cause the new mother to suffer from back pain, increased bleeding, poor mental state and other adverse effects after giving birth, which will have a great impact on the new mother's body recovery after giving birth.

2. During the confinement period, when playing with mobile phones, you should develop good habits of protecting your eyesight. Your eyes should be kept at a certain distance from the screen, not too close, and the color of the mobile phone screen must be gentle, not too bright, to avoid irritating your eyes. Mobile phone radiation is relatively large, so you should not affect your baby when looking at the phone, because the newborn's nerve development is not yet complete, and if you encounter improper stimulation, it will be bad for the baby's happy growth.

3. Be sure to control the time you play with your mobile phone. It should not exceed 4 hours a day, and it is best not to exceed 1 hour each time. You can't keep the same posture when playing, you need to give yourself a break after playing for a while. Because the confinement period is still dominated by rest.

4. Don’t play with your mobile phone immediately after a meal, as this can easily lead to decreased gastrointestinal blood flow in pregnant women and affect their digestion and absorption. Don't squat for a long time when looking at the phone. Lie down more often, stand up and walk moderately, use less hair dryer, and don't lift heavy objects.

During the confinement period, it is recommended that new mothers should be moderate in their use of mobile phones. If you don't control your phone use, it will have no good effect on your body's recovery, especially on your eyes, arms, etc. Therefore, new mothers should focus on rest and recuperation when their bodies have not yet recovered.
