What should you pay attention to during confinement? This is scientific!

Women who have gone through the pregnancy and childbirth process are the weakest, and the confinement period is the best time to nourish the body. However, nourishing the body also requires scientific methods. It is not enough to just supplement. Scientific conditioning requires a combination of meat and vegetables. Avoid blindly supplementing, wash your hair and bathe properly, abandon the old concept of not being able to wash, hold the baby less, rest in bed more, exercise properly, prevent leg swelling, breastfeed as early as possible, eat more milk-producing foods, and avoid being exposed to the wind and cold, but also do not wear too thick clothes. As long as you can stick to these six points, female friends can get a good supplement for the losses during the delivery period and their bodies can recover quickly.

1. Eat a combination of meat and vegetables, and avoid eating too much tonic

After giving birth, the functions of the mother's stomach, kidneys, internal organs and other organs have not yet recovered. If she blindly takes supplements at this time, it will cause a certain burden on her body. Therefore, in addition to eating tonic foods such as chicken soup, new mothers' diet should also include vegetables, fruits, etc., so as to balance the nutrition, promote digestion and prevent postpartum constipation. If you are worried that vegetables and fruits are cold in nature, add some shredded ginger when cooking vegetables, and choose warm fruits such as apples.

2. Wash your hair and take a bath properly, and abandon the old idea that you can’t wash your hair

After a long labor, a lot of sweat is produced. Elderly people often say that during the confinement period, you cannot touch water, brush your teeth, wash your face, wash your hair, or take a bath. These old sayings often make new mothers miserable. In fact, a very important point during the confinement period is to pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and prevent gynecological diseases. Brushing your teeth and washing your face are definitely allowed. Otherwise, if you don’t brush your teeth for a month, even a good set of teeth will become diseased. When brushing your teeth and washing your face, it is best to use warm water before washing, so as to ensure that the new mother will not be cold. The same principle applies to washing your hair and taking a bath. When washing your hair and taking a bath, you might as well boil ginger slices into ginger soup and let it warm before washing, which will help drive away the cold.

3. Hold your baby less and rest in bed more

During the confinement period, the most important thing for new mothers is to get enough rest. Therefore, let family members help with taking care of the baby. Except for breastfeeding, mothers should hold the baby less and lie in bed more often to rest.

4. Exercise properly to prevent leg swelling

Of course, new mothers cannot lie in bed all day long. Proper exercise is necessary. New mothers may wish to walk around the room after meals to promote digestion. It can also prevent swelling of the legs caused by blood circulation problems due to lying down for a long time.

5. Feed as early as possible and eat more milk-producing foods

As soon as the baby is born, he should be allowed to suck the nipple as soon as possible to promote milk secretion. Mothers with less milk need to let their babies suck the nipple more often. Eating more milk-producing foods is very helpful in promoting milk secretion. New mothers may wish to drink more white fish soup. In addition, peanut and pig's trotter soup also has a certain effect. However, mothers who are afraid of greasy food may not like it.

6. Don’t get cold in the wind, but don’t wear too thick clothes either.

The most feared thing for new mothers during the confinement period is to catch a cold due to the wind, so the older generation always requires new mothers to wrap themselves tightly. However, if they wear too thick clothes, they will sweat and may even suffer from heatstroke. So just dress appropriately and don’t let yourself get too hot for fear of the wind, as it will be counterproductive.
