Can't touch the water, can't see the wind, is this taboo science of confinement?

Don't brush your teeth, don't wash your hair and take a bath, don't eat cold food ... Many mothers regard these taboos as golden rules and strictly enforce them, even many star mothers. When Yi Nengjing gave birth to his eldest son, he didn't wash his hair and bathe for 45 days. Ada Choi stayed at home for a whole month and "locked himself up", afraid to go out and see the wind. However, is this method of confinement scientific?

How many days should I confinement? Traditionally, confinement means that a new mother must stay at home and stay healthy for one month after giving birth, but many old people think confinement must last for one hundred days.

In fact, the most scientific confinement time is 30 to 42 days after delivery, which is also the choice of most mothers. To be exact, confinement refers to the puerperium. After giving birth to the baby, it takes at least 6 weeks for the mother's uterus to contract to the size before pregnancy, and it takes 6 to 8 weeks for the abdominal wall to recover, which is 42 days. This period of time is called puerperium, and the traditional "confinement" is actually only the first 30 days of puerperium.

Mothers who give birth by caesarean section need to rest for two more weeks than those who give birth naturally, that is, 42~56 days to recover better. There are also 22.48% mothers who gave birth in less than 30 days. This is because these sensible mothers have better physical fitness and recover faster. To be on the safe side, it is best to rest for 30~42 days.

If you really want to play, it's not impossible, but there are some precautions: take a break after playing 15 minutes, and don't play mobile phones for more than 2 hours every day. Try to lower your head as little as possible and be able to "lower your head" for a while. Mothers should remember to close their eyes after playing with their mobile phones. Also eat some foods that are good for protecting your eyes, such as carrots, lean meat and green leafy vegetables. Don't let the phone fall and hit the newborn's head and face.

Other considerations for the next month: 1, the diet is balanced and reasonable, and the mother who just gave birth to the baby should try to eat some light food, and don't start with chicken, duck, fish and pig's feet. Don't lie down all day, but get out of bed properly and do some stretching exercises. 3. Wash your hair and take a bath after delivery. You can take a bath 3 days after delivery and 7 days after caesarean section. Otherwise, sweat will stick to the body, but it may be infected. Don't catch cold, just don't blow into the wind.

4, eat up to 2 eggs a day, don't eat it, otherwise it will form abnormal fat metabolism, and you can't eat other foods if you eat too many eggs together. 5. Brush your teeth with warm water and a soft toothbrush. If you don't brush your teeth for a long time, you will have various dental problems. 6. Although you can't catch cold by blowing, doors and windows should be properly opened to prevent bacteria and viruses from multiplying in the air that is not circulating, which is unlucky for babies and novice mothers.
