Many modern women have criticized the traditional Chinese method of sitting in the moonlight, always feel that the traditional Chinese method of sitting in the moonlight is very pedantic, but there is no lack of many good methods of sitting in the moonlight, such as the head should not be blowing the wind and so on, the modern people have seen the Western women immediately after the birth of the recovery, the introspection is full of questions: sitting in the moonlight or not sitting in the moonlight? What are the precautions for new mothers to sit in the moonlight?

1, the correct monthly sitting

1, "Sitting properly, or later regret when old!" In China, almost every woman in labor hears similar exhortations from her elders. And the morning of May 4, Britain's Princess Kate gave birth to a little princess in London less than 10 hours after holding the baby appeared in front of the public, the day the temperature in London was only 10 degrees Celsius, just produced Princess bare legs, exposed arms, stepped on high heels so out! "Princess is too fierce," "Princess Kate personally demonstrated that mothers do not need to sit on the moon?" Women had a heated discussion about this.

It's not the first time that Princess Kate has gone without a baby - the day after she gave birth to Prince George, she wore short sleeves and met with the media outside. In the eyes of the Chinese, who have always emphasized the importance of "sitting in the moonlight," Kate's outdoor wind, standing, everything is wrong, and will certainly fall into the "moonlight disease".

The tradition of sitting in the moonlight has a long history in China, where mothers have always accepted the notion that they must be well-trained or else they will fall ill. But women in Western countries often do not have the tradition of sitting in the moonlight, which can not help but wonder: East and West women's physique is so different? Is it really a health necessity or is it outdated?

2, "Spice Girls" a week after the birth of fitness, Chinese actresses still follow the sitting months

Kate Princess of the post-partum appearance caused women for the sitting months of the old saying, but many Western women are the same. Beckham's wife Victoria, for example, went to the gym less than a week after she gave birth to Romeo and did a lot of exercise, and seven weeks after giving birth she had almost completely recovered her former slender figure.

Relatively speaking, Chinese actresses are still very traditional, and taking care of themselves by sitting in the moonlight after giving birth is a must for them. Liu Kaiwei has generously shared his wife Yang Mi's maintenance secrets, is to sit well during the month, "wife is because during the month to sit very listen to the elders, do a good job to pay attention to the details, only to be able to recover so quickly." Like big S, small S, Fan Weiqi and other actresses, will choose to the moon center to receive professional moon service. Xiao S has revealed that although her menstrual menu includes the goal of slimming down quickly, she also pays close attention to ensuring a healthy recovery. She did not eat fruit for two weeks after giving birth to avoid excessive water intake and unfavorable weight loss. Secondly, each day's menu follows the principle of small meals, coarse and fine combinations. Liang Jingru through microblogging exposed herself to post-partum sitting in the month "has been 11 days did not wash their hair", she showed her monthly meal is soybean stewed pig's trotters.

So, do women still need to sit in the moonlight after giving birth? Some netizens believe that women after the birth of the head, do not go out, do not take a bath, do not blow the wind of the custom of sitting in the month should be changed, learn the princess good example well. But more netizens think that Chinese women still have to insist on sitting in the moon, "I think Chinese women still try to sit in the moon, after all, the moon disease is really will have, one side of the water and soil to raise a party, foreigners eating habits and geographic environment is different from ours." "Sitting on the moon is actually the process of good conditioning, women must treat themselves well." There are also many netizens proposed, even if it is sitting on the moon, but also to change the mindset, with a scientific attitude towards this matter, "postpartum good rest and recuperation is necessary, conducive to the body's recovery, but should be advocated scientifically sitting on the moon."

3, the concept of menstruation has its origins, new mothers 6 hours after delivery can be appropriate activities

The Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, director of obstetrics, chief physician Li Yingtao said: "The concept of menstruation has its origins. In the past, Chinese people's living conditions, material conditions and the environment are not very good, the water quality, home ventilation conditions are not ideal, and the mother is in the period of low resistance, so the main purpose of sitting in the moonlight is to allow mothers to prevent puerperal infections, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary tract, reproductive tract, as well as the wound site of the infection. In addition, the requirement that mothers be wrapped tightly during menstruation is to prevent respiratory infections, eating more carefully, and brushing teeth and washing face only after the water has been boiled and settled are all meant to be more hygienic."

For Western women do not need to sit on the moon, director Li Yingtao believes that Western women live in relatively good conditions, the external environment, including water quality, air quality and so on, can meet the standard, so for them China's moonlighting details may not be so necessary. She said Princess Kate is very young and must have paid a lot of attention to pregnancy health care, coupled with the fact that it was a normal birth, so she did not need special care.

In the Chinese concept, during the month to eat more, more supplement, Li Yingtao, director of the said, this is because of the emphasis on the mother to supplement adequate nutrition, "In addition to maternal supplementation, we also emphasize breastfeeding. For example, pig's feet should be eaten during the month, pig's feet have high protein and high calcium content, which is a good nutritional supplement. Comparatively speaking, the Western diet has always been high in protein, so it's not that much of a stretch."

For the Spice Girls to enter the gym to work out not long after giving birth, director Li Yingtao said doctors would also advise new mothers to have proper exercise even after giving birth, "absolutely do not advocate that mothers lie in bed all the time. For example, six hours after delivery, the mother is required to appropriate activities, so that the recovery is better. In addition, one week after delivery mothers can enhance their exercise through sit-ups and so on, just that the amount of exercise for hot girls may be a bit more than what we emphasize."

Director Li Yingtao particularly emphasized that what is called menstruation today should be free from the limitations of old concepts, "In accordance with the conditions and environment nowadays, we advocate that mothers should follow the normal rhythm of life with a little attention to rest."

2, new mothers sitting in the month of three prevention

1. Prevention of postpartum rheumatism. Zhang Chunyan, deputy chief physician of rheumatology and immunology department of Oriental Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, introduced, in the view of Chinese medicine, women's post-partum, the loss of too much blood, resulting in a great loss of gas, the positive energy is weak, wind, cold and wet and other external evils are very easy to take advantage of the weakness. This is why Chinese medicine emphasizes "sitting in the moon". If you're not careful with the wind and cold, you'll be cold and have joint pain for a long time after you give birth, and Chinese medicine categorizes this set of symptoms as post-partum rheumatism.

Zhang Chunyan prescribes tonic prescriptions for women to replenish qi and nourish blood, dispel wind and cold, and invigorate blood circulation, in addition to which she places special emphasis on foot-bath therapy as a supplement for women to use at home on their own. Herbal medicines that have the ability to warm yang and disperse cold, activate blood circulation and relieve pain, such as 20 grams of epiphyllum, 20 grams of cinnamon, 15 grams of qiangwu, 15 grams of duhuo, 10 grams of xinxin, 30 grams of mulberry branches, 20 grams of mulberry parasol, 30 grams of chickweed vine, etc., are decocted into a soup medicine and then mixed into the footbath in warm water at about 42℃. Through the action of heat, the medicine can well enter the body through the body surface, soaking for about 20 minutes.

Postpartum rheumatism, in addition to taking tonics and soaking feet, can also be assisted by food therapy. Zhang Chunyan pointed out that mutton is one of the best ingredients for warming, and she recommended two ways to stew mutton soup. The first formula: 30 grams of ginseng, astragalus 30 grams, 25 grams of angelica washed, wrapped in clean gauze, with half a catty of mutton, 5 to 6 slices of ginger into the pot, add water and cook the mutton until cooked, seasoning and consumption, there is a tonic effect of blood.

In addition to pay attention to maintaining indoor temperature and humidity, it is recommended to wear a jacket when breastfeeding, and change the breastfeeding position, breastfeeding can be appropriate activities after the shoulder, because each time the breastfeeding time is almost half an hour time, always keep a position, easy to cause neck and shoulder pain. You can also buy some breastfeeding clothes specifically for mothers to wear when breastfeeding, not only to facilitate breastfeeding, but also to prevent the cold from invading the shoulder joints.
