The temperature is already very high in summer, and new mothers who have given birth to babies tend to sweat a lot. In addition, if they don’t wash their hair or take a shower, they often suffer especially during the confinement period. So what are the things that need to be paid attention to during summer confinement? Jingma will summarize it, everyone can collect it.

1. Don’t cover your body during confinement in summer. You can turn on the air conditioner appropriately

My sister’s baby was born on June 24, and confinement coincides with the hottest time. But her mother-in-law and my mother took care of the confinement child together, and the two elderly people refused to let the air conditioner be turned on. As a result, the child developed prickly heat. My sister complained to me. I called the two elderly people and explained for a long time before agreeing to turn on the air conditioner. The two elderly people are not so hot anymore, and my sister and baby are also comfortable.

In fact, you can turn on the air conditioner during confinement in summer. Just pay attention to the following matters:

Turn on the air conditioner in the living room and do not blow directly on the mother and baby; < /p>

The temperature is appropriate, do not turn it too low, and keep the indoor temperature at 24-26°C;

Ventilate frequently in the morning and evening, do not turn on the air conditioner all day long, hold meetings when it is hot, and cool down in the morning and evening Open windows for ventilation to ensure fresh indoor air.

2. Wash your hair and take a bath correctly during confinement period

Many elderly people are not allowed to turn on the air conditioner, wash their hair or take a bath. It is also important to pay attention to hygiene during confinement.

For mothers who gave birth naturally, they can wash their hair and take a bath one week after giving birth;

For mothers who gave birth by caesarean section, they can wash their hair one week after giving birth and take a bath two weeks later;

3. Regarding eating cold foods during the confinement period

Many new mothers also know that spicy and cold foods cannot be eaten during the confinement period, so they are particularly cautious, and fruits at room temperature are not allowed. Dare to eat.

In fact, as long as you don’t eat fruits just taken out of the refrigerator, you can eat fruits at room temperature. After all, it is hot in summer, and fruits at room temperature will not be too cold. If you are still worried, You can steam the fruit or boil it in water to drink.

4. Drink soup appropriately during the confinement period

After giving birth to the baby, the family will make soup for the new mother to drink, which will help increase the amount of milk. But new postpartum mothers also have tips for drinking soup:

Avoid drinking too greasy broth. You can skim off the oil when making soup;

You can add less when making soup. You cannot add no salt at all; in order to increase the amount of milk, you can also add an appropriate amount of Tongcao;

You should choose to drink soup when you are eighty-nine percent full, avoid drinking it before meals, and it is best to change it Drink in a variety of ways and avoid drinking the same soup every day;

New mothers with good milk supply should drink less soup to avoid milk blockage.

5. Prevent postpartum depression during confinement

A few days ago, a mother who gave birth to her baby left a message saying that her family was very good to her while she was still in confinement. But I just can't control myself, I'm very sensitive and cry all the time.

Yes, after the baby is born, due to the sudden drop in body hormones, the mood will be very low, coupled with frequent feeding of the baby and poor rest, if there are some family conflicts, there will definitely be depression. Emotions, in severe cases, are postpartum depression.

So, if you find that you are in a bad mood, you should take the initiative to communicate with your family and friends. If your family members find that the new mother is depressed, they should take the initiative to chat with the new mother and help take care of the children.

6. Try to get enough sleep during the confinement period

After giving birth to the baby, since you have to feed the baby every two or three hours, the new mother will not have a good rest and always feel sleepy. Not full. Then you can:

Try to keep the schedule synchronized with the baby. When the baby sleeps, the new mother will also sleep for a while;

The family can help take care of the baby so that the new mother can get more rest.

7. Moderate exercise during the confinement period can help the body recover

The confinement custom in some places is that during the confinement period, you do not go out or get out of bed, and you even have to zip up Curtains prevent people from visiting.

In fact, during the confinement period, since the new mother's body has not yet recovered and the baby's immunity is low after birth, it is understandable to try to avoid visits during the confinement period. But scientifically speaking, staying in bed for a month without getting out of bed is not conducive to the physical recovery of a new mother. After the wound recovers, you can get out of bed and do moderate exercise every day, such as walking back and forth at home, holding your baby, etc.

Jingma said: Although there are many things to pay attention to during confinement, many of them are unscientific. Expectant mothers can learn some knowledge about confinement and parenting in advance during pregnancy, and wait until the baby is born. Take fewer detours and suffer less.
