"I secretly took a bath while my mother-in-law was not at home, and wanted to roll happily ~ ~" This is a sentence said by a mother who is confinement. Traditionally, women are required not to bathe or wash their hair for one month during confinement, and winter can make do. This summer is coming. Do you know what will happen if they don't take a bath for a month? I hate stink myself! ! !
Scientific confinement, healthy summer
"confinement" has a history of more than two thousand years. With the development of science, most traditional confinement customs have quietly retired.
1, Wu?
In the traditional confinement, people think that women should close the doors and windows when confinement, and women are afraid of the wind when heatstroke occurs. Therefore, even in the summer, the doors and windows of the house should be closed without gaps, and women should wear long clothes and trousers and be fully armed.
2, lazy month?
Many old people think that postpartum adults are weak and need good care. It is best to get out of bed less during the month, and even take meals to bed.
3. Dan Yuezi?
Many pregnant women lead a tasteless life in the first few days after delivery. This is because as the old saying goes, the salt in the meal will affect the milk, so they can only eat "free food".
4. Dirty month?
After giving birth to the baby, the new mother was afraid that she was soaked with sweat and just wanted to take a bath happily, but the old man at home said that she could not wash her hair and take a bath during confinement, which would lead to arthritis and other moon diseases.
5, smelly month
Maternal women can't brush their teeth during confinement, otherwise their teeth will loosen in the future. There are not a few elderly people who hold this view.
6. Egg Moon
It is often seen that after giving birth to a child, the mother is "submerged" in the egg pile. The old example holds that eggs are nutritious, and the more you eat, the better.
7. Tang
Drink more soup after delivery. Almost every family will cook a lot of soup for the parturient, thinking that drinking soup is more nutritious.
"confinement", traditionally considered as one month, that is, 30 days, has actually been adjusted for one month, and many organs of the body have not fully recovered.
For example, it takes 6 weeks for the uterine body to retract to the size of the non-pregnant uterus, and it takes 6 weeks for the endometrium at the placenta attachment to be completely regenerated and repaired; The recovery of postpartum abdominal wall tension also takes 6 weeks to 8 weeks.
Therefore, don't rush to "release yourself" as soon as you are out of the month, pay attention to the combination of work and rest and balance nutrition.
Confinement is a woman's only chance to change her constitution. Save one for her favorite. Pay attention to these in the month, and you will never get sick.
First, seize the postpartum golden recovery period
Six months after delivery is the golden period of weight control. If the pre-pregnancy weight can be recovered within half a year after delivery, the average weight will increase by 2.4 kg after 8 to 10 years. If the postpartum weight cannot be reduced, the average weight will increase by 8.3 kg after 8 to 10 years. It can be seen that half a year after delivery is not only the golden period of weight control, but also affects the future quality of life of pregnant women. At this time, while the iron is hot, it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort.
Pay attention during the month.
1, avoid closing doors and windows during confinement.
It is necessary for lying-in women to avoid catching a cold, but it is inevitable to carry germs because the doors and windows are closed all day, the indoor air is turbid, and there are many relatives and friends. Poor air is conducive to the breeding of germs, making pregnant women with low immunity prone to illness. Therefore, the "Moon Ovary" should open doors and windows several times a day for ventilation to avoid air conditioning or heatstroke in summer.
2, the environment of the moon ovary should be comfortable.
The parturient should choose a suitable delivery room. It is not suitable to live in an empty and humid room. Because my mother's physique and resistance are relatively low, the room needs insulation and comfort. Choose sunshine and sit in a good room. This can avoid overheating in summer and keep the room warm.
3. Air conditioning can be properly blown after childbirth in summer.
In summer, it used to be said that doors and windows should be closed and pregnant women should be covered with thick quilts at any time. This is very dangerous and easy to cause heatstroke in pregnant women. The room is often ventilated, and the indoor temperature should not be too high, nor should it be high and low. Just use air conditioning properly.
Pay attention to keep warm when wearing, clothes must have long sleeves, pants must be long, and don't forget to wear socks on your feet. Blow the tuyere to the wall instead of the new mommy and baby. The temperature is about 25 degrees, giving priority to the comfort of the new mommy, and the humidity is about 55 degrees.
Second, control calories and fat.
Always pay attention to the calories of food, reduce some fat in the diet and increase some fish and poultry; Diet should be light, control salt intake, and eat less processed food with sauce; Eat some fiber-rich fruits, vegetables and whole wheat bread in moderation; Arrange a balanced diet every day as planned.
Third, insist on breastfeeding.
Mommy who wants to lose weight after childbirth must breastfeed. Converting the fat stored during pregnancy into milk can not only effectively lose weight, but also help to keep slim after delivery. Breastfeeding is to consume the fat stored during pregnancy, so it is best to breastfeed after delivery.
Fourth, don't rush for success, but step by step.
Pregnant women should also adjust their mentality after childbirth. You can't think about getting back in shape right away. Be patient. If you go on a diet too rashly, it will definitely lead to malnutrition, and at best, it will affect the quality of breast milk and ultimately affect the baby's health.
Fifth, slow down the speed of eating.
Be sure to eat slowly. Eat for at least 20 minutes, chew slowly.
Sixth, the diet is reasonable.
Drink more nutritious soup during lactation. If you want to recover quickly after delivery, you must eat reasonably. You should pay attention to the balance and moderation of nutrition. You shouldn't eat too much, it should be light. Eat only six or seven points full. Chicken, fish and bones are all good foods after delivery. Eat more vegetables and fresh fruits rich in vitamins.
Seven. Appropriate activities
Mommy has no perineal laceration, fatigue has been eliminated, and there are no other serious diseases in her body. Postpartum 12 hours can sit up to eat and drink water, and can stand up to change the baby's diaper after 24 hours. On the first day of getting up, sit by the bed for half an hour in the morning and evening, and walk slowly indoors from the next day, 2-3 times a day for 30 minutes each time. Reminder, you should be accompanied when you get out of bed for the first time, to prevent dizziness and fall, and don't stand for too long. Later, I gradually increased the number and time of activities, and began to do some minor housework after half a month.
Eight should pay attention to personal hygiene.
Better take a bath. Some harmful old customs must be abandoned, such as not brushing your teeth or washing your hair, which is totally unfounded. You should insist on taking a bath every day, so as to keep the pores of your skin sweating normally. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva when taking a bath, but don't douse the vulva or take a bath, otherwise it will easily cause infection. After taking a bath, be sure to dry your body to avoid catching cold. Pay special attention to protecting teeth in the second month, because the calcium loss in the mother's body is more serious during pregnancy and childbirth. So, rinse your mouth after meals and brush your teeth before going to bed.
Pay attention to sleep time
Postpartum breastfeeding is a big worry for many novice mothers, because it will not only disrupt the normal life schedule, but even affect the mother's sleep. Or on the contrary, many mothers sleep all the time after giving birth, except for breastfeeding time. Both of these practices will lead to weight gain and slow recovery of postpartum mothers. For postpartum mothers, it is best to ensure 8 hours of sleep every day, taking a nap 1 hour. Too little sleep time is easy to produce mental stress, while too much will reduce the metabolism of the human body, and nutrients such as sugar will accumulate in the body in the form of fat, leading to obesity.
These are my suggestions. My body is my own. What will happen in the future will affect my happiness for the rest of my life. Take care of the baby and take care of yourself. There are a lot of good baby moms. Consciously caring for your body also requires Ma Bao to pay attention to it psychologically.
Pregnancy and childbirth are normal physiological processes for women, so there is no need to pay too much attention to them. Just pay attention to what time ~
1- Avoid the cold. After delivery, women will sweat a lot because of hormones, so there is a folk saying that they should cover the moon. In fact, there is no ventilation at all, wearing long trousers and a hat. These methods of covering should also be done according to the specific situation. As long as you don't catch a cold, because when the human body sweats, the hair follicles and pores expand and are vulnerable to cold pathogens. Especially the joints, the forehead above the head and the feet need to keep warm. But there is no need to close the window and there is no ventilation. Be careful not to wash your hands with cold water, and don't eat cold things taken out of the refrigerator.
2- Take a proper rest and exercise gradually. Because the lying-in woman has more bleeding and weak constitution, she should stay in bed properly to restore her physical strength, but she can't move at all. Gradually increase, a small amount of activity every day, is good for recovery.
3- Feel comfortable. Some parturients, especially primiparas, will definitely feel anxious, fearful and at a loss for the first time. The family should tolerate her, the husband should cherish her, master some knowledge of confinement, eat well every meal, sleep well and be happy, which is conducive to the physical and psychological recovery of the parturient.
4- Reasonable diet and nutrition, do not eat, absolutely do not eat, do not eat, need to eat every day, as long as pregnant women like to eat. Appropriately increase protein in meat and eggs. Fresh vegetables and fruits are best eaten after heating, not cold. Soup is good for milk, but salt cannot be limited. Just eat according to the normal taste of pregnant women. It is wrong to say that it is not allowed to eat salt, because pregnant women sweat a lot and the loss of sodium ions in the body needs to be replenished in time. You can't eat too much cream to avoid postpartum obesity.
After giving birth to a child, mothers need to sit on the moon. The confinement, also called "puerperium", is the time for a mother to recuperate after giving birth to a child. It takes 30 days for a normal baby and 42 days for a caesarean baby.
The custom of "confinement" originated in the Western Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,000 years. With the changes of society, some people say that "confinement" is a "bad habit" left over from the feudal society, and there is no need to "confinement". In fact, this idea is all wet. Since the custom of "confinement" has lasted for thousands of years, it must be reasonable. Among them, one of the benefits of confinement is that it can change women's physique. If the moon is good, you can make your mother young 10 years old. So what should I do when I am confinement?
Eat more vegetables and fruits.
Vegetables and fruits contain a lot of vitamins and protein, which is of great benefit to the recovery of postpartum mothers. So postpartum mothers can eat some fruits and vegetables, such as apples, papaya, pineapple, durian and so on. Many old people say that vegetables and fruits are cold and pregnant women can't eat well. Actually, it doesn't mean that all fruits and vegetables can't be eaten. Mom just needs to eat less cold fruits and vegetables. Supplementing natural vitamins, Ma Bao's natural complexion is as rosy as a girl's.
Pay attention to hygiene
After giving birth to the baby, the mother should pay attention to her cleanliness. Because the maternal body is weak at this time, the growth of many bacteria will affect the maternal health. There are still some sayings in the older generation. For example, you can't brush your teeth in confinement, and you will lose your teeth. No bathing, no shampoo, etc. This is because the conditions of bathing and shampooing in the past were not good, and pregnant women were prone to catch cold after bathing, which affected their physical recovery. But now the conditions are sufficient, as long as you wash your head and dry it, you can take a shower and wash your hair if you don't catch a cold.
Step 3 add more water
Maternal women will lose a lot of water during childbirth, so supplementing water is very important for the recovery of maternal body. Soup is also a source of water. Drinking more soup after delivery will help pregnant women absorb nutrition and replenish their physical strength. But don't worry about drinking prolactin soup after delivery, it will block the breast, and you can drink some light and nutritious soup. It is said that women are made of water, and there is enough water in their bodies to be young.
Use a tummy belt
Many parturients will choose a tummy belt after delivery, which can help contract the uterus. Now tummy tuck surgery has various functions, which is a good helper for mom to recover her figure and make her a hot mom.
Prohibition of spicy food
Pregnant women who are not spicy and unhappy should pay attention, and don't eat spicy food during confinement. Because of postpartum weakness, it is easy to get angry. If the child is breast-fed, the anger in the mother's body may also bring the child, and the child is easy to get angry.
keep warm
Whether it is summer or winter, you should keep warm during confinement and don't eat cold food. Because after giving birth to a child, my mother's joints are loose and her gastrointestinal adjustment ability is not good. If you catch a cold at this time, it will make the cold enter the joints, and it will be easy for the joints to ache when you catch a cold in the future. Eating cold food will also affect the digestion of the stomach, which is not good for the mother's health.
7. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest
First of all, mothers should pay attention to rest after giving birth, because after giving birth, mothers are very weak, and too much activity may make them dizzy and weak. It is best to stay in bed more. In addition, mothers should also pay attention to proper activities to avoid joint discomfort caused by lying down for a long time. But the activity time should be controlled well, and if mother feels tired, she should rest at any time.
Confinement is the key time for my mother to change her constitution. After confinement, my mother is not only in good health, spirit and complexion, making people look at least ten years younger.
It's hard for women to have confinement, so be careful not to touch cold water, eat cold drinks that shouldn't be late, and drink more bone soup, which will improve their health. The most important thing is not to get angry.
