Is it harmful to get angry during confinement?

Just after giving birth, the mother's emotions will become excited due to endocrine disorders, and the baby's crying and restlessness will easily lead to people's irritability. Therefore, many mothers often encounter various problems and become easily angry. Therefore, they should pay attention to their own recovery, try to be less angry, take personal precautions, and adjust their mentality, because frequent anger will cause many unnecessary complications.

What happens if you get angry during confinement?

After a woman gives birth, her uterus enters a process of self-recovery, and the hormones in the new mother's body continue to adjust, slowly returning to normal levels. We all know that during pregnancy, women's estrogen secretion is higher, and women will become more emotional and more maternal. On the contrary, after a sharp drop in estrogen, women will become more irritable and even violent. Once the hormone levels in her body stabilize, she will no longer be moody.

1. Rest more after giving birth.

After all, giving birth is a strenuous job. After giving birth, the mother must have sufficient sleep and rest time. This is the key for the new mother to ensure physical recovery. At the same time, insufficient rest can also cause the new mother to have a bad temper. During the rest period of confinement, the expectant father and his family should not only take good care of the baby, but also try to reduce unnecessary disturbances, especially visits from relatives and friends. For example, in some places it is not suitable to visit a mother during the confinement period, which is also out of consideration for protecting new mothers.

2. Identify yourself as a mother as soon as possible.

Some new mothers have shared that in the first week after the baby was born, their mother-in-law took care of the baby because they did not have the energy to take care of the baby. So they felt upset when the baby cried and did not want to see the child at all. But after taking care of the baby myself, the more I looked at him, the more I couldn’t bear to let him go.

This is actually a kind of cultivation of the mother's role. New mothers can spend more time with their babies, discuss the feelings of being a new mother with their mother-in-law or mother, and actively breastfeed. These can help new mothers eliminate the mentality of thinking they are incompetent.

Being angry can reduce your milk supply

Because mother's milk is actually blood, when a person gets angry, the qi stagnates and the blood circulation becomes poor, so there is less milk. Not easy to recover. If you want to be considerate to the new mother, it is best to let her stay with her mother during the confinement period. Frankly speaking, no matter how good your mother-in-law is, she is not as familiar as your own mother.

Your own mother knows her daughter's living habits and eating preferences very well. She knows what she wants to eat and what she doesn't want to eat, and whether she gets angry or yells at you occasionally. Her own mother is always infinitely tolerant and they can communicate without any scruples. When the new mother is in a good mood, she will be more patient and responsible in taking care of the baby, which can reduce the probability of suffering from postpartum depression.
