1, be sure to brush your teeth every day. Maternal body calcium loss is serious, and it is the most prone to tooth decay and gum inflammation. Because maternal women have to nurse and can't use drugs casually, they should pay special attention to oral hygiene.
2. Pay attention to calcium supplementation. Supplementing calcium is not only to increase the calcium concentration of milk, but also to promote the better recovery of maternal system. All these people are afraid of wind and cold water because of calcium deficiency, bone and joint soreness and even rheumatism.
3, maternal can take a bath with warm running water, can wash hair, water does not need to be boiled. In the past, I was mainly worried about getting skin diseases. The water quality and water source in the old society were untreated, but it's different now, so don't bother.
4, the baby bath water needs to be boiled and cooled, and used at about 37 degrees. This is because the baby's skin is one-tenth as thick as that of adults, and it is more susceptible to fungi. Therefore, all clothes used by babies need to be made of pure cotton, and special detergent for babies with sterilization function should be used.
5, maternal sweat easily, because a lot of water needs to be released when pregnant, so you can turn on the air conditioner properly, but don't blow it directly to the maternal body. Indoor ventilation is often needed, because I am worried that germs will breed in the air, which will affect the health of mother and baby.
6, the baby's clothes should be breathable, don't wear too much, just like adults, observe that the baby's neck sweats more, and the nose and mouth are blue. Too hot affects the development of the baby's nervous system, and sweating is also easy to get prickly heat.
7. If your family has dermatophytosis, you should treat it now. At that time, you should also pay attention to washing your hands and holding your children. Separate washing of clothes for adults and children. Children use a special washbasin and wash it by hand.
8, maternal nutrition should be taken care of very well, so that not only the milk is good, but also the maternal recovery is fast. You can drink maternal milk powder, protein powder, calcium tablets and vitamin tablets. The main principle of the practice of ginger pig's feet in Guangzhou is that vinegar can release more calcium in bones and increase the absorption of calcium in pregnant women. If you can do it, you can eat more. Crucian carp soup can be milked or eaten more. Soybean is plant protein, so eat more. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
9. Finally, because of the sudden drop in postpartum hormone levels, pregnant women are prone to short-term postpartum depression, and their temper is irritable and eccentric. People who take care of the next month should be particularly tolerant and understanding. Listen to more beautiful music, watch less TV and surf the Internet to avoid radiation barriers. Lactation is not good for newborn babies. When the lying-in woman has a good rest and a good mood, she will recover more milk.
Puerperal period mainly refers to the period from the end of delivery to the recovery of maternal body to pre-pregnancy state. In normal pregnancy, after the delivery of the fetus and placenta, the uterus will recover, and it takes about six weeks for the wound surface with placental abruption to heal completely, so we set the puerperium to six weeks after delivery, that is to say, the time from the delivery of the fetus to six weeks after delivery is called puerperium, which is commonly known as "confinement" in folk.
How important is confinement?
In the process of confinement, it is actually a process of recovery of mother's entire reproductive system. Poor recovery will affect the maternal health.
Prenatal pregnant women are responsible for the nutrition needed for the growth and development of the fetus, and a series of adaptive changes will occur in various systems of the mother. Uterine muscle cells are enlarged, proliferated and lengthened, and the burden on the heart is increased, so is the burden on the lungs. During pregnancy, the kidney is slightly enlarged, the ureter is thickened, the muscle tension is reduced, and the peristalsis is weakened. Others such as intestinal bone endocrine, skin, bone, joints, ligaments and so on will change accordingly.
When the fetus is delivered after delivery, the maternal organs will return to the prenatal state. The wounds of uterus, perineum and vagina will heal, the uterus will shrink, the diaphragm will drop, the heart will recover, and the skin, joints and ligaments that have been pulled loose will return to normal. Whether these shapes, positions and functions can be restored depends on the aftercare and health care of the lying-in women during confinement. If it is properly maintained, it will recover quickly and there will be no future trouble; If you are a little careless and nursed back to health, you will recover slowly.
Moreover, "confinement" is an "eventful autumn" for pregnant women, and puerperal infection, mastitis, uterine prolapse, adnexitis and other diseases that seriously threaten the health of pregnant women can occur during this period. At the same time, many folk stereotypes about "confinement" will also bring confusion and pressure to pregnant women.
Basic precautions for confinement
1. Ensure good food and rest.
Because childbirth will cause extreme physical and mental fatigue to the parturient, the first thing after childbirth is to let the parturient have a good sleep, so family members should not disturb her easily. After getting enough sleep, you should eat some nutritious and digestible food and drink plenty of water. You should eat high-nutrition, high-calorie and digestible food during the "confinement" and lactation period, so as to promote the rapid recovery of the body and ensure sufficient milk.
Step 2 get out of bed as soon as possible
Under normal circumstances, women who give birth normally through vagina should get out of bed and walk the next day. But care should be taken not to catch cold and avoid cold air blowing directly. You can also do some simple exercises or postpartum gymnastics every day under the guidance of medical staff, which is conducive to recovery and maintain a good figure.
After delivery 1 week, the parturient can do some slight housework, such as cleaning the table and sweeping the floor, but the duration should not be too long, let alone do heavy manual work, otherwise it will easily induce uterine bleeding and uterine prolapse.
3. Pay special attention to personal hygiene
There are a lot of perineal secretions in "Yuezi", so warm water or1:5000 potassium permanganate solution should be used to clean the perineum every day. Change perineal pad frequently and keep perineum clean and dry.
Because you sweat a lot after delivery, you should wash your hair and feet frequently and change your underwear frequently to keep your body and skin clean. It is advisable to take a shower in order to avoid infection when dirty water flows into the vagina.
During the "confinement" period, pregnant women eat more times and eat more things. If they don't pay attention to gargle and brush their teeth, it is easy for bacteria in the mouth to multiply and oral diseases occur. In the past, many women blindly believed in the "old rule"-they couldn't brush their teeth during confinement, and as a result, one "confinement" ruined a tooth. Maternal women should brush their teeth once or twice a day, and can choose a soft-haired toothbrush to brush gently. You should rinse your mouth with warm water after eating every time.
The room is often ventilated, and the indoor temperature should not be too high or high or low. In the past, it was often said that doors and windows should be closed tightly, and pregnant women should be covered with thick quilts at any time. This is very dangerous, especially in summer, which can easily cause heatstroke in pregnant women.
4. Breast-feed your baby as soon as possible
After delivery, breast congestion and swelling are obvious. Early breastfeeding is beneficial to stimulate the secretion of milk sweat, so that breastfeeding in the future has a good start. It also promotes uterine contraction and recovery. Before and after breastfeeding, the parturient pays great attention to keeping her hands clean and her nipples and breasts clean, so as to prevent breast infection and neonatal intestinal infection.
5. Reasonable arrangement of postpartum sexual life
If lochia is not clean or within 42 days after delivery, it is absolutely forbidden to have sex because the wound in the uterus has not been completely repaired. If you forget martial law for a moment's pleasure, it is easy to cause puerperal infection and even chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.
Maternal women with lochia who are clean earlier must take reliable contraceptive measures when resuming their sexual life, because pregnancy during puerperium is also a common thing and should be paid attention to.
6. Check postpartum on time
About 42 days after delivery, the puerperium will be over, and the parturient should go to the hospital for a postpartum examination to understand the recovery of the body. In case of any abnormal situation, you can get the guidance and treatment of the doctor in time.
7. Don't blow or catch cold.
If the indoor temperature is too high, the parturient can use air conditioning properly, and the room temperature is generally 25-28℃, but it should be noted that the air conditioning wind can not directly blow to the parturient. Maternal women should wear long-sleeved clothes and trousers, and it is best to wear a pair of thin socks. Do not touch cold water during confinement to prevent cold or soreness.
Traditional custom: you can't take a bath in the second month, otherwise you will often feel whole body pain in the future. Because the pores and seams of the whole body skin are open after delivery, and both qi and blood are deficient, if you take a bath in the second month, the wind and cold will invade the body and stay in the muscles and joints, resulting in stagnation of qi and blood and poor circulation, and irregular menstruation, body joints and muscle pain will occur in the future.
In China, it is traditional for mothers to drink biochemical soup after giving birth to help excrete lochia. You can drink warm organic grape juice (red and black are the best) or prune juice for the physical energy consumed in nourishing production. In the south, you can eat kumquat cake immediately after delivery, shred it and fry it with ginger and sesame oil for ventilation. For western use (caraway, anise seeds), India uses a teaspoon of fennel and cumin after meals. Rehabilitating Reagan or boiling water helps to repair internal injuries. (The fetus leaves the mother, leaving a wound)
Eating is mainly based on invigorating qi and enriching blood to keep warm and contract the uterus. It is generally forbidden to drink ice water and touch raw water. If you need to clean it, use boiled water. You can drink soup, and it is not recommended to wash your hair to avoid catching cold. There are different ways to eat confinement in the north and south of China. In the north, millet porridge, noodles, eggs and red dates are eaten, while in the south, food is given priority to □, especially chicken, sesame-oil chicken, eggs with sweet wine in the south of the Yangtze River, and pork knuckle boiled green papaya or soybeans are also eaten in Guangdong and Guangxi. North and South do not eat fried, fried and fried food, do not eat raw and cold food, but also drink honey water and eat brown sugar. Welcome a new life should be to celebrate it, not to kill it. It is best to stay away from blood. Northerners are tall, and the mother who is confined to the moon is mainly millet and red jujube porridge, and the milk is also enough. Indian medicine first judges people's physique, and then suggests using food spices and other drugs to regulate the balance. Pay attention to the balance of physical fitness before conception, as well as postpartum. People's physique is produced when the interaction between wind, fire and water is unbalanced. The so-called physique refers to a certain nature. Vata is the wind that is moving, fast, light, cold, thick and dry, and coarse and light food such as popcorn. Pitta is hot, sharp, light, sour and oily, such as Chili sauce, summer noon sun and sharp sound. Kapha is heavy, oily, slow, cold, steady, wide and slow, like an elephant's body and drowsiness after a nap.
People with wind constitution have a pulse (female) of 80- 100 per minute. They are small, fast-moving, and have irregular meals. People with fire constitution have a pulse of 70-80 per minute, and are of medium build and easy to get angry. Water-based pulse is 60-70 per minute. She is large, stable and patient (the above pulse refers to women). The following are foods suitable for people of all constitutions to eat more.
Style: All oils, especially sesame oil after delivery, especially black sesame oil, rice, wheat, porridge, glutinous rice, sweet fruits such as grapes, avocados, peaches and plums (acidic fruits after delivery are not eaten for the time being), asparagus, beet leaves and beetroot, red cabbage, sweet potato leaves, carrots, green beans and sweet potatoes. Spices should be warm and sweet, and avoid bitter ones such as gourd croton and turmeric. You can eat all stone fruits such as walnuts, pine nuts, cashews, sesame seeds, etc., and beans can eat Egyptian beans (garbanzo), red lentils (red lentils) and mung beans.
Flammability: coconut oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil, bitter tea oil, barley, cereal, wheat. Sweet fruits such as apples, avocados, figs, dried plums and raisins (avoid acidic fruits). Asparagus, cauliflower, cauliflower, celery, string beans, green leaves, etc. (except spinach), sweet potatoes, melons, spices anise, coriander, cinnamon, fennel, a small amount of fennel to avoid peppers, drupe edible coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, others eat less beans, Egyptian beans, mung beans, soybeans (sprouted).
Water-based: if you need less oil, you can eat a small amount of sunflower seed oil, bitter tea oil, almond oil and cream (organic). You can eat barley, buckwheat, corn, millet, rye and other cereals, but avoid cereal, rice and wheat. Choose apples, apricots, dried fruits, pears and pomegranates as fruits, and avoid sweet and watery fruits. All vegetables, but avoid cucumbers, sweet potatoes, summer melons and tomatoes. All spices can be used except salt. Edible pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, all beans (except tofu).
The cold weather in the north makes people's physique watery. Southerners are biased towards wind and fire. No wonder the confinement in the north and the south is different. Mothers need to replenish enough liquid for breastfeeding, and the liquid supplement is better than the normal drinking water every day 1000cc. In Europe, 50 grams (4 tablespoons) of boiled water of barley or oats (cereal) is added with 8 cups of water for one and a half hours. Add lemon peel or a lemon when cooking. Milk is supplemented with red bean and japonica rice porridge (4 portions of red bean, 1 portion of rice) or 30 grams of fried sesame seeds, peanut sweet almond milk or sesame milk, walnut paste, sesame paste, almond paste and pine nut paste. Cook with fried glutinous rice.
Steaming, boiling and dry-burning are the best cooking methods, and dry-burning is stewing with small fire juice, which is the warmest burning method. Choose a thick-bottomed iron pot or glass pot, apply a thin layer of oil to Corning ware, put the root slices at the bottom, followed by the stems, and sprinkle a little ginger or other spices on the top leaves or melons. Cover tightly and cook over low heat. Sprinkle some sesame oil before eating if necessary. If you have a bad appetite, you can drink boiled water from elm (one teaspoon to one glass of water). Avoid eating leftovers and flatulent vegetables such as cabbage and sprouts. The following are some suggestions for China's food supplement:
Tonifying blood: 2 portions of yam, red dates 1 portion, and appropriate amount of japonica rice porridge.
Tonifying the heart: wheat 1 serving, licorice 1 serving, and jujube 3, decocted with water.
Tonifying qi: 9 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 0/8 grams of Atractylodes macrocephala/kloc-,0/5 grams of Astragalus/kloc-,and 60 grams of japonica rice, which were decocted in soup before being eaten with japonica rice porridge.
Bushen decoction: peanuts, black beans (fried), black dates, brown sugar, and winter melon peel each 1 serving, and boiled soup.
Tonifying spleen, stomach and kidney: 30g chestnut and jujube, 60g yam, 6g ginger, 0/00g rice/kloc, and boiled porridge.
Blood stasis and pain: 60 mg of hawthorn, boiled water and brown sugar. Or ② 6 grams of cinnamon bark, 0/5 grams of Salvia miltiorrhiza/kloc-and a small amount of licorice and ginger boiled water once a day.
Mastitis: 30 grams of dandelion root, 30 grams of honeysuckle stem, water and yellow wine are added, and the thick juice is decocted and taken twice a day (prevention: when nursing, wash your hands and let the baby suck one side before changing sides. If there is any surplus, suck it off with a breast pump).
Discharge lochia: Shenghua decoction (before 10 day).
Tonifying essence and spirit: Siwu decoction, Bazhenchang decoction and Shiquan Dabu decoction, only after 10 days.
When the child is about to wean, the malt will be boiled for three days and then retired (back to milk). Coix seed, leek and star anise can also be milked by boiling water.
In eating, we should consider our living environment, physique and confinement season, and it is best to learn to measure energy to judge our physical needs. Avoid all contaminated processed food, high sugar, coffee, wine and cold food. When the mother eats and drinks, the baby will absorb it from the milk, including pesticide residues. If you feel depressed after delivery, you should adjust your tailbone. Hanna Kroeger introduced it in her book New dimension in Healing Yourself. You can also ask the local Liuliguang contact office. During the confinement period, mother should sleep and rest more, and get full body oil massage every day to help people around her take care of her and do housework. This article is for reference only. For further information, please consult the elderly and experienced people.
New mothers' dietary taboos after delivery
1. Cold food should be avoided. Especially in summer, most parturients want to eat some cold food, such as rock sugar, ice cream, iced drinks and mixed cold dishes, cold rice, etc. These cold foods will affect the teeth and digestive function, easily damage the spleen and stomach, and are not conducive to lochia discharge.
2. Do not eat spicy and other irritating foods, such as leeks, garlic, peppers and peppers. This kind of food can affect the gastrointestinal function of lying-in women, cause internal fever of lying-in women, sores on the mouth and tongue, and cause constipation or hemorrhoids.
3. Avoid foods that are too hard to digest. Maternal women are weak and do little exercise, such as eating hard food or fried food, which is easy to cause indigestion.
4. Avoid salty food. Because salty food contains more salt, it can cause water and sodium retention in maternal body, which is easy to cause edema and hypertension. But don't avoid salt, because postpartum urine, sweat, discharge salt also increased, need to add a certain amount of salt.
5. Avoid single nutrition. Maternal women should not be picky eaters and partial eaters, so as to achieve food diversification, thickness and meat collocation, wide-ranging and reasonable nutrition.
6. You should avoid overeating. Because the maternal gastrointestinal function is weak, satiety will not only affect the appetite, but also hinder the digestive function. Therefore, the parturient should eat less and eat more meals, and 3 meals a day can be increased to 5~6 meals.
Principle of "Yuezi" diet
Maternal diet should pay attention to the following principles: 1. Food should be soft, delicious, easy to digest and absorb. 2. Eat a small amount of meals and use more soup foods, which is beneficial to breastfeeding. 3. Be dry and thin, and be suitable for meat and vegetables. 4. It is not advisable to eat raw, cold and hard food; 5. It is not advisable to make up for it quickly, so as not to lose more.
Maternal women should take a bath in the month.
But why has the custom of not taking a bath in the month been circulated among the people for thousands of years? This is because, in the past, poor living conditions made it impossible to provide good bathrooms and heating facilities for pregnant women. In order to deliver the fetal head smoothly during delivery, the pelvic joints are opened under the action of hormones, and all joints of the body will become more relaxed. Therefore, the maternal body is very weak in the second month, and it is really easy to catch a cold if she accidentally catches cold, and it is not easy to recover due to physical weakness.
The present living conditions can't be mentioned in the same breath as before, which can provide a very good bathing environment and facilities for pregnant women, so that they are no longer easy to catch a cold. Therefore, this custom handed down for thousands of years should be broken, because it is not conducive to maternal rehabilitation. Postpartum will sweat a lot and pollute the skin; The lochia and spilled milk produced by the lower body will also make the skin dirty; A variety of liquids mixed together will give off a very unpleasant smell, which will make the parturient uncomfortable and mentally ill; A large number of bacteria accumulated on the skin mucosa will take advantage of the situation, causing folliculitis, endometritis, mastitis, etc., and even septicemia.
Studies have shown that cleaning the body in time after delivery has the effect of promoting blood circulation and qi circulation, which can help the parturient to relieve labor fatigue and maintain a comfortable mood; It can also promote the blood circulation of perineal wound and accelerate the healing; Make the skin clean and avoid infection of skin and perineal wounds; Deepen maternal sleep, increase appetite and improve complexion. Therefore, taking a bath in time in the second month is very beneficial to maternal health. If there is no wound in the perineum, you can start bathing as soon as you recover from fatigue.
Bathing in the second month is good for maternal health. The investigation shows that postpartum bathing has no adverse effect on uterine contraction and lochia color, quantity, smell and bleeding volume. However, the following points should be noted:
1 If there is no wound or incision in the perineum, you can take a shower in 2-3 days in summer and 5-7 days in winter.
2, postpartum bathing pays attention to "winter cold, summer heatstroke, spring and autumn wind." In summer, the bathroom temperature can be kept at room temperature, and the bathroom should be warm and sheltered from the wind when it is cold. The bath water temperature should be kept at about 35℃-37℃, and it is not allowed to take a shower with cooler water in summer, so as to avoid the bad discharge of lochia, causing abdominal pain, irregular menstruation and body pain in the future.
3, it is best to shower (with the help of family members), not suitable for bath, so as to avoid dirty water entering the vagina and causing infection. If the lying-in woman is weak and can't stand and take a shower, she can take a bath.
4. The bath time should not be too long, usually 5-10 minutes.
5, the bathroom temperature should not be too high in winter, so it is easy to make the bathroom filled with a lot of water vapor, leading to lack of oxygen, making the already weak maternal unstable.
6. Wipe the water off your body as soon as possible after washing, put on warm clothes in time and then walk out of the bathroom to avoid catching cold or being blown by the wind.
7. If the perineal wound is large or severely lacerated, and there is a knife edge in the abdomen, you must wait for the wound to heal before taking a shower. You can take a bath first.
finally
I wish mother and child health! Children are smart and cute!
