Confinement is a special period that every mother will experience. For many traditional thinking of the older generation, there are countless taboos during the confinement period. Only in this way can the body be protected from the "confinement" sick". If you practice confinement according to this idea, not only will the confinement period be difficult, but you will also suffer from many illnesses after the confinement period. Professionals from Amy Confinement Center tell you that as long as you pay attention to some details in life, you can spend the confinement period easily and happily!
1. Ensure high-quality sleep.
Mothers consume a lot of physical strength and energy during childbirth, so it is very important to get adequate rest. Mothers after childbirth must ensure at least 8 to 9 hours of high-quality sleep every day. High-quality sleep refers to deep sleep. After waking up, your body is relaxed, your body and mind are comfortable, and you are full of energy. When a mother has a good spirit, she can have a good appetite, supplement the nutrients needed by the body, promote the recovery of the body, and promote milk secretion. At the same time, the antioxidant enzyme activity in the mother's body increases, allowing blood to fully reach the skin. Not only does the complexion look good, but it can also reduce hair loss.
2. A reasonable and healthy diet.
A reasonable diet should start from these three aspects. The first is a reasonable mix. Mothers during the confinement period should not take excessive supplements. They should have balanced nutrition, with flour and white flour as the main supplement, pork, chicken, beef and other meats as supplements, green leafy vegetables, carrots, fungus and other vegetables as supplements, apples, Fruits such as oranges should also be supplemented appropriately every day. The second is to cook well. Mothers in the confinement period are prone to loss of appetite. When cooking confinement meals, you should try to have a full range of color, flavor, and neither salty nor bland, so as to satisfy the taste of mothers. At the same time, be careful not to lose the nutrients in the food during the cooking process. The third is to eat in moderation, eat small meals frequently, you can have five meals a day, three meals as the main meal and two supplementary meals. Mothers should not overeat to cause indigestion.
3. Learn to regulate negative emotions.
Many mothers are prone to postpartum depression after giving birth, which is a very common condition. Postpartum mothers experience both physical and mental changes. They are mentally fragile and prone to agitation and sadness. Learning to regulate negative emotions is one of the key points of confinement. Mothers can listen to more soothing music and think more about their babies to resolve their negative emotions. Relatives should also be more considerate to mothers, and fathers should take the initiative to take care of the baby and listen to their wives' worries and dissatisfactions, so that mothers can be happy and maintain a good mental state.
4. Wear loose, soft clothes and wash them frequently.
After giving birth, mothers’ skin secretion function will be more vigorous, so they sweat easily. When mothers sweat, the pores on their body will open, making it easy for them to catch wind and cold and cause a cold. Therefore, mothers should try to wear soft and comfortable clothing during confinement, preferably cotton, which is breathable and sweat-absorbent. Mothers should change clothes frequently after sweating, keep them clean and comfortable, and avoid catching colds.
Confinement period is for the mother to recover. "Hard" should not be an adjective for confinement period. In modern society, confinement care should abandon outdated concepts and adopt scientific methods to create a comfortable confinement experience for mothers.
