Why are you confinement? That's because we have a puerperal period after giving birth to a child, and our body changes greatly during the puerperal period, so we need confinement to help our body recover.

How many days does it take to confinement? Mainly depends on the recovery time of the mother after giving birth.

Director Liu Shixin of tongji hospital Maternal and Child Health Hospital mentioned: Postpartum confinement is not a month, and how long it takes mainly depends on the delivery mode of the parturient.

Postpartum confinement time is different from caesarean section. It takes about 6 weeks for the postpartum uterus to recover, but caesarean section has wounds in both abdomen and uterus, so the postpartum recovery time is longer, two weeks longer than postpartum.

Natural delivery takes 42 days, while caesarean delivery takes 56 days.

During confinement, the prospective father, new moon or grandmother should take good care of her mother's body and promote her recovery.

Give the child exclusive breastfeeding.

We all know that breastfeeding is good for children.

In fact, breastfeeding is also of great benefit to the recovery of the mother's body:

Breastfeeding can promote the recovery of uterus.

When a child sucks breast milk, it will not only stimulate the secretion of prolactin, but also stimulate the secretion of oxytocin, which mainly contracts the uterus. The more frequent uterine contractions, the faster the uterus will recover.

Breastfeeding can also avoid breast problems.

Some women will have the problem of mammary gland hyperplasia when they are not pregnant and have no children, but if they let their children suck frequently during breastfeeding, this problem of hyperplasia will be improved.

Not only can breast problems be avoided, but also ovarian and uterine problems can be greatly reduced.

Breastfeeding can play a role in losing weight.

When breastfeeding, mothers can avoid eating high-calorie and high-fat foods, so that excess fat in the body can be transferred to their children through milk, which can help mothers lose weight and make their children grow stronger.

Therefore, if you want to live well in the next month, you should be diligent in breastfeeding.

The baby is just born, with poor digestive ability and small stomach capacity, which needs to be sucked day and night. Generally, you have to drink milk every two hours, and the number of times you drink milk every day is 8~ 10, so your mother has to breast-feed your baby day and night.

Avoid holding the baby too much.

Many mothers are prone to backache when they are pregnant, because the enlargement of the uterus will pull the muscles of the back and waist.

After giving birth to a child, because of hormonal changes, the uterus does not recover in place, and the parturient is still prone to low back pain. At this time, the strength of the mother's waist is insufficient. If the mother often holds the child, using the strength of the waist will lead to more tense muscles and easier backache.

It is suggested that mothers can exercise by themselves during confinement, but try not to hold their children all the time, which will affect their health and produce low back pain.

Eat more vegetables and fruits in your diet.

In many places, the diet of confinement will cancel vegetables and fruits. The reason is that vegetables and fruits belong to cold food, and mothers need to recover after giving birth, so they can't eat too cold food.

Some old people even swear that as long as the mother eats vegetables, the child's stool will turn green, indicating that the mother can't eat vegetables.

The truth is that chlorophyll in vegetables may affect the color of children's stools, but it has no effect on children's health.

Eating fruits and vegetables during childbirth has many advantages:

Eating vegetables and fruits is more nutritious.

Vegetables and fruits can provide mothers with enough B vitamins and vitamin C, as well as some minerals, which is helpful for more balanced nutrition and better quality of milk with balanced nutrition.

Eating fruits and vegetables can prevent constipation.

Many pregnant mothers suffer from constipation, and if they don't eat vegetables and fruits after giving birth, they will also be constipated.

At this time, eating more fruits and vegetables can prevent constipation, and also make my mother's stomach digest well, have a good appetite, and naturally feel better.

Sitting on the moon, you have to go to the fields.

When we talk about confinement, we just suggest not to keep lifting heavy objects and holding children, but physical activity is necessary.

In order to prevent postpartum hemorrhage during delivery, the coagulation of blood will be improved, so after delivery, the nurse will let the mother get out of bed that day; On the second day of caesarean section, the mother will also be driven out of bed to walk around. Only when we walk around, the blood in the body is flowing, so as to avoid hypercoagulable blood from turning into thrombus and affecting our health.

When I go home a week after giving birth, my mother can do light manual work, collect some clothes, fold some clothes, walk around and clear the table as long as she doesn't do heavy manual work.

Mom walks around, stimulating blood circulation, promoting intestinal peristalsis, digesting what she eats and turning it into children's nutrition.

Postpartum confinement is recommended for 42 days of natural delivery and 56 days of caesarean section. During the confinement period, mothers should pay attention to some taboos in daily life and diet, so as to make our confinement more comfortable, avoid the disease of confinement, make the body recover faster and make the children more nutritious.

After the birth of the next month, the child grew strong and the mother was healthy. This is a happy thing.
