What are the things to pay attention to during the confinement period?

You should pay attention to and understand the various taboos and precautions during the confinement period to avoid causing greater harm to your health. You cannot drink cold water or take cold showers during the confinement period, and you should also pay attention to your diet. It does not mean that you can just take a lot of supplements.

1. During the confinement period, you cannot drink cold water, eat raw or cold food, touch cold water, wash your hair or take a bath, or be blown by cold wind. Rinse the vulva with warm water every day, change underwear frequently, use hot water to wash your face, hands and feet, and drink hot water that is not hot enough to burn your mouth.

2. Although they need a lot of nourishment, mothers who have just given birth do not need to breastfeed, so try not to drink soup (any kind of soup) before their milk supply stops. When eating stir-fried dishes, remember to add ginger slices. If possible, use black sesame oil to stir-fry. The food you eat during confinement is different from that of your family. If your family eats the same thing as you, they will develop high blood pressure after a few days because they are too nutritious. If you can buy pork kidneys, eat more of them. Remember to remove the white tendons in the kidneys, otherwise they will smell fishy. Eat more pork liver, eggs, fish, lean meat, and vegetables (cabbage, bitter gourd, green vegetables, winter melon and other cold vegetables should not be eaten), and eat brown sugar eggs for breakfast for a few days.

3. Just like during the confinement period, you should use your eyes less, keep warm, and rest in bed more. However, you should also get some exercise and walk around more at home. Try not to go out. It will be troublesome to get a headache if you are exposed to cold wind.

4. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during the confinement period. It is generally recommended to wait 6 to 12 months after a miscarriage to have a baby so that the uterus can be fully healed. So please take good contraceptive measures during this period. Do not get pregnant within 6 months of pregnancy, as it is irresponsible to yourself.
