In China, confinement has a long history. I agree with confinement itself, but you must remember to abandon those old bad habits and traditions.
For novice mothers, confinement is very necessary both physically and psychologically.
One of the benefits of confinement is:
Conducive to the recovery of the mother's body
The process of confinement is actually the process of gradual recovery of various systems of the maternal body, which takes about 6 weeks.
After ten months of pregnancy, the mother's uterus changed from the size of an egg to the size of a baby, and other organs were displaced and deformed because of being squeezed; At the same time, great changes have taken place in cardiovascular system, respiratory system, urinary system and digestive system. It can be said that this period of time is tantamount to a physical transformation for my mother.
Therefore, confinement is a very good period of physical recovery for novice mothers.
At the same time, mom needs to pay attention to these:
1. Have a good rest, but don't lie still in bed, you can exercise properly.
2. Avoid lifting heavy objects to prevent organ prolapse.
3. Open the window regularly for ventilation and pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene.
Don't sweat, and don't be afraid to blow the air conditioner. Blow if you have to.
You can take a shower and wash your hair, as long as you don't catch cold.
6. Drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, ensure the proper intake of protein and grains, don't eat too much fish and meat, and drink a lot of oily soup.
7. Use your eyes reasonably. You should watch less TV, computers, mobile phones and books, but you can't watch them.
8. Avoid sharing a bath in the same room.
Benefits of childbirth 2:
Let mom adapt to her new identity faster.
Although it is already a long pregnancy of 10 months, many people actually don't have a clear understanding of being a mother. After all, this is the first time to be a mother. No matter how many other people's experiences you have seen and have never actually experienced, your feelings are still different.
The process of confinement is actually a good psychological buffer period for novice mothers to gradually adapt to their identity change.
Of course, mothers' adaptation process will not be so fast and smooth, and they will face many puzzles and problems. During confinement, some novice mothers may have emotional breakdown when facing these problems, so you must tell yourself that this is normal, and don't force yourself to be perfect.
Especially Ma Bao's family, don't focus on the baby. In fact, the focus of the whole family in the month should be the child's mother.
When a baby is born, he should not only eat milk, but also sleep. At most, just take a poop, take a bath and insert some tidbits, so that the mother can eat well and sleep well, so that there will be more milk and the baby will eat healthier.
Well, there will be more harmony at home to avoid discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.
The benefits of the third delivery
Helps to establish a good parent-child relationship.
In addition to confinement, I'm afraid you will never have time to devote yourself to your children like this period.
At this time, the mother can concentrate on this baby who only sleeps most of the time without worrying about work, washing and cooking, feeding him, holding him to sing nursery rhymes, kissing him and touching him. This kind of skin intimacy will make the baby familiar with the taste of the mother, which is conducive to better establishing the parent-child relationship and is also very helpful to the establishment of the baby's sense of security.
A treasure mother said that when she felt that the child in this life belonged to her completely, that is, when she was confined, I think you should be the same.
Finally, I want to say that confinement is not a dead rule, but a scientific way of life. It pays attention to physical and mental health, diet, sleep, exercise, nutrition, hygiene and emotional management. Don't put yourself in a dead box, it will go against the original intention of confinement. As long as we pay attention to the following eight points, the new mother will be able to restore her physique, or even better.
As we all know, breast milk is the most ideal natural food for babies, and most expectant mothers are willing to give the best to their babies. Because breast milk contains all kinds of nutrients necessary for the growth and development of babies. Protein in breast milk is easy to digest and absorb, and contains more lactose. The incidence of enteritis in breast-fed infants is lower than that in artificially fed infants. Human milk contains small fat globules, and fresh lipase in milk contributes to the digestion and absorption of fat. The proportion of calcium and phosphorus in human milk is appropriate, and calcium is easy to absorb; Breast milk also has an anti-infection effect. Immune antibodies contained in breast milk can protect infants from intestinal and respiratory infections. It also contains lactoferrin, lysozyme and various cellular components, which are also beneficial to anti-infection. Breast milk is fresh, not easy to be contaminated by bacteria, economical and convenient, ready to eat, and the temperature is appropriate. Breastfeeding can increase the emotional communication between mother and baby, which is beneficial to the healthy development of children's psychology.
Although breast milk has many benefits, breast-feeding mothers often encounter many troubles. Because of breast milk, mothers can't eat a lot at will, and they have to give up many favorite foods. Some mothers don't have enough milk, while others have too much milk. . . . . .
Precautions during lactation:
First, breast milk within 3 ~ 5 days after birth is called colostrum, which is rich in protein, antibodies and trace elements, and has less fat content, which plays an important role in enhancing the disease resistance of newborns. Never throw away colostrum.
In the past, breastfeeding every 3 hours 1 time was called "feeding on time"; However, at present, "on-demand feeding" is advocated, that is, the baby wants to feed when he is hungry, so don't stick to "time is not up", especially in the first 2 ~ 3 months after birth, more sucking can stimulate milk secretion, and on the basis of "on-demand feeding", the baby will gradually form the habit of feeding 1 time every 3 ~ 4 hours. When feeding, feed one side first and then feed the other side when it is completely empty. You can rotate it next time, which can not only promote milk secretion, but also prevent the breasts on both sides from being different in size. Each feeding time takes only a few minutes on one side. Don't let the baby sleep with the pacifier, which may lead to suffocation (suffocation caused by vomiting or suffocation caused by mother's body pressing the baby).
Second, feeding posture: breastfeeding posture is very particular, and the wrong feeding posture may even directly lead to neonatal asphyxia. There is a certain relationship between milk secretion and feeding skills. The correct feeding method can reduce the mother's fatigue and prevent nipple pain or injury. Mothers should relax and be comfortable whether they are lying or sitting, which is conducive to the discharge of milk. At the same time, look at the child with your eyes, talk to the child and pick up the child. The child's chest and abdomen should be close to the mother's chest and abdomen, open his mouth to hold the areola, and his chin should be close to the mother's breast.
Correct feeding posture: mother puts her thumb and four fingers above and below the breast respectively to hold up the whole breast. First, the nipple touches the baby's lips. At the moment when the baby's mouth is wide open and his tongue sticks out, the baby gets closer to his mother's breast, so that most of the nipple and areola can be sucked into his mouth. In this way, the baby can fully squeeze the mammary sinus under the areola when sucking (the mammary sinus is the warehouse for storing milk), so that the milk can be effectively discharged. Only the correct sucking action can promote more milk secretion.
If the baby holds the nipple incorrectly, the mother will feel the nipple particularly painful. When the baby sucks, there will be a "smacking" sound, and the milk will not be sucked out. Because the baby can't suck milk, it will increase the sucking power, which will often lead to chapped nipples and bleeding, which will lead some mothers to reduce the number of feedings and shorten the feeding time because of pain, which will lead to less and less milk. Therefore, in order to ensure the success of breast-feeding, we should do: suck early, suck more, and master the correct feeding posture.
Third, breast care: If the pregnant mother decides to breastfeed, she should start breast care before pregnancy, pay attention to massage when taking a bath, and wear a loose bra to avoid blocking the breast. If there are problems such as nipple invagination, you can consult a doctor and try to correct it as soon as possible.
