Talk about the "confinement" thing

Coinciding with the hot summer, the new mother catches the confinement month. It's a really annoying thing. How to live a relaxing and healthy hot month? 6 health problems and 1 psychological problem for new mothers.

1 bathroom

Influenced by the traditional concept of confinement, many new mothers dare not take a shower or even wash their hands and hair during confinement. Summer easy to sweat, coupled with lactation, lactation, lactation and lochia excretion, but also pay attention to personal hygiene. A bath is entirely possible and necessary. In general, the duration of confinement is 6 weeks. If the birth is natural, there is no tear in the perineum, after cesarean section, you can take a bath as long as the wound heals well. Bathing should be mainly shower, the water temperature is slightly higher than body temperature. If conditions are limited, the body can be scrubbed with warm water, but new mothers should avoid bathing within 1 month after delivery. No need to take a bath every day, generally 3-4 times a week, 10-20 minutes each time. At the same time, try not to take a bath when hungry, so as not to collapse.

Two rounds

In the hot summer, the new mother is bedridden for a long time, and the body is exposed to the high temperature and humidity indoors for a long time. Due to the dysfunction of the body temperature regulation center, it is easy to cause heat stroke. How to prevent postpartum heat stroke? Most people think of air conditioning, electric fans, and Windows for ventilation and cooling. For new mothers, the body is weak, the body resistance is poor, and external pathogens are easy to invade the body, causing a cold and fever. Therefore, the temperature should be increased when blowing the air conditioner, generally around 26, and the blowing time should not be too long. However, because the new mother sweats a lot, the sweat pores often open, and it is not appropriate to blow on the fan. An electric fan can be blown on the wall to increase indoor air circulation and reduce indoor temperature. Also open the Windows properly for ventilation. Frail new mothers need lots of nutrition and fresh air. If you are afraid of the wind, you can hang curtains to prevent the wind from blowing in.

3 Drink cold drinks

Traditional dietary concepts for new mothers include cold food, cold drinks and other taboos. The reason is that the new mother's stomach function is weak, eating raw and cold food will hurt the spleen and stomach, causing stomach discomfort. In fact, the above drinks are not taboo for all new mothers, and should be grasped according to the principle of different people and adapting to the time. Hot summer, eating cold drinks, eating cold watermelon, drinking water with ice, have a good cooling effect. If you are used to eating cold food and drinking cold drinks before birth, the stomach and intestines have strong adaptability, and you can eat less during confinement. But be sure to pay attention to hygiene, do not eat too much, so as not to affect the digestive function. For new mothers who do not eat cold food before birth, or new mothers with poor gastrointestinal function or diseases before birth, cold drinks should be completely avoided.

4 Get Out

It's really uncomfortable to stay at home all the time in such hot weather if you can't go out for a walk. In fact, there's no reason you can't go out after giving birth. By the third week postpartum, the new mother's body has gradually recovered. Every morning and evening, you can take your baby out of the room and go for a walk on the balcony to breathe the fresh air. Fresh air is of great benefit to your health.

5 taboos

The practice of confinement taboo is popular among the people, especially in summer. There are many kinds of taboos, and they vary from region to region. Most of these taboos are unscientific and unreasonable. Postpartum new mothers should not only supplement their own consumption, but also assume the task of feeding the baby, and the natural demand for nutrition is significantly increased than usual. Excessive dietary restrictions not only make postpartum diet cumbersome, but also difficult to meet nutritional needs, which directly affects maternal and child health. But be careful not to eat or eat too spicy or too stimulating food, such as chili, wine, garlic moss, etc.

Six sports

Generally, after 1-2 days of bed rest, you can get up, sit up, walk and other activities. About 2 weeks postpartum, you can do some light housework and postpartum health exercises. About 3 weeks postpartum, you can jog, do light exercise, do yoga stretches. Fit new mothers can do sit-ups in bed. This is not only good for your health, but also for getting back into shape.

Hot weather is more important to prevent depression

In the early stage, it is generally shown as slow speech and behavior, low mood, loss of appetite, easy sadness and insomnia; After aggravating, there can be obvious anxiety, agitation, often depression, depression, fear.
