Feifei asked, where should the focus of postpartum confinement rest be? What should a new mother do to improve her physical function and mental state? Because only by finding the right rest focus can we have a scientific and reasonable confinement and help postpartum mothers recover to the greatest extent. After research, it is proved that postpartum mothers can adjust quickly and well through the following five details. New mothers who are about to enter confinement or are in confinement can refer to it.
1: Pay attention to your diet.
In the second month, new mothers should eat more nutritious, high-calorie and digestible foods to promote physical recovery and ensure adequate milk. In addition, due to the difference of new mothers' physique, it is best to choose food suitable for personal physique under the guidance of doctors.
Step 2 avoid catching a cold
The new mother's dress should change with the climate and the temperature and humidity of the living environment, make appropriate adjustments, try to wear long pants, trousers and socks, avoid cold water, reduce colds and avoid wind, cold and humidity from invading the joints. The new mother is particularly weak after giving birth, so it is very important to avoid catching a cold. I remember when Bao Xiao was born, I caught a cold that day because my family in the same ward turned on the air conditioner too low. Fortunately, my mother-in-law cooked me a bowl of brown sugar and ginger tea in time, which helped me get rid of my cold.
Step 3 be diligent in cleaning
Hair and body should be washed frequently and kept clean to avoid inflammation due to bacterial infection. Wash clothes frequently, rinse your mouth with warm water after delivery, brush your teeth and trim your nails regularly. Novice mothers often ask, can I take a shower and wash my hair during confinement? Of course, no baby will like a dirty and smelly mother. Generally speaking, mothers who have a natural delivery can take a bath 2-5 days after delivery, and mothers who have recovered well can take a bath about 2 weeks after delivery. When a new mother takes a bath in the second month, she must keep warm when washing her hair to avoid catching a cold.
4. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
New mothers should pay attention to ensuring high-quality sleep in the second month and stay away from fatigue. At the same time, exercise properly to help the body recover. Under the condition of avoiding catching cold from the wind, new mothers who give birth naturally should get out of bed and walk around properly, and can also carry out postpartum recovery training under the guidance of medical staff.
5. Stay happy.
New mothers should learn to express their emotions and thoughts properly. Communicate with family and friends in time, seek spiritual and psychological help in time, relieve mental stress, maintain a good mood, and avoid falling into depression and other bad emotions. When I gave birth to Dabao, because my husband worked in other places, it rarely gave me spiritual comfort. After giving birth, I always feel uneasy, inattentive and grumpy. Many times I don't like this, but I don't. I really want to lose my temper. Later, a friend came to see me, and through my friend's timely guidance, I slowly came out. Therefore, new mothers in the same situation must communicate with their families more to relieve mental stress.
Mother is great. In order to take better care of the baby, new mothers must take good care of their bodies and have a scientific and reasonable confinement.
