What should I pay attention to in summer confinement?

Confinement is an important turning point in a woman's life, because if confinement is done well, many previous diseases can be recovered through conditioning during confinement, but if confinement is not done well, it is likely to lead to various diseases for the rest of her life, such as confinement in summer, which requires special attention. So, what do you need to pay attention to in summer confinement? How to spend the confinement period in summer?

1, how to confinement in summer

Dressing: I can't cover it. Postpartum sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon. At this time, the body eliminates the increased water in the body during pregnancy in the form of sweating. You should wear trousers and thin socks. In order to avoid wind stimulation to joints, if the weather is hot, we should also reduce clothes according to our own situation. Don't cover it blindly to avoid heatstroke.

Diet: I can't support it. It is best to choose to eat some milk powder, multivitamins or calcium tablets specially for pregnant women. During confinement, eat more nutritious and digestible food and drink more water to ensure adequate milk and promote rapid recovery. Don't control your food intake in order to restore your health, and avoid blindly supplementing for more milk. Drink plenty of water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and drink a spoonful of sesame oil before going to bed if necessary to prevent constipation.

Home: You can't be bored. When the weather is hot, you can use air conditioners, electric fans or hand-cranked fans. The indoor temperature should be kept at around 26℃, and it is advisable for the new mother to feel comfortable. But be sure to avoid blowing directly to the mother and baby. It is recommended to turn on the air conditioner in the living room and open the maternal door. When the humidity in the air is too high, the dehumidification function of the air conditioner can be adopted. The indoor humidity is kept at about 55%. Wash the filter screen of air conditioner frequently to prevent bacteria from breeding.

Health: No exemption. Generally, women can take a bath three days after delivery, but if it is a caesarean section, they must wait until the incision is completely healed and the stitches are removed for three days before taking a bath. You can scrub your body with warm water before. The shower time is about 10 minute, and the water temperature is controlled at 45℃. Never take a cold bath. Dry your hair and body quickly after bathing and change clothes to avoid colds and strokes. Take a bath every day, keep your skin pores unobstructed and sweat normally. During pregnancy and childbirth, the calcium loss in the mother's body is serious, so special attention should be paid to protecting her teeth, gargling after meals, brushing her teeth before going to bed and keeping healthy during the second month.

Activity: Don't be lazy. On the second day after delivery, you can go for a walk and do some simple gymnastics to speed up your recovery. You can take a walk, but you must avoid lifting heavy objects or doing too heavy housework to avoid uterine prolapse.

What to eat in summer?

Black beans: In ancient China, it was always believed that grains were suitable for raising, and the loss of beans was not good. Eating beans is good for health, especially black beans can produce blood and blacken hair, and black-bone chicken can be cooked with black beans after delivery.

Carrots: Japanese people call carrots ginseng, which contains a lot of vitamins B and C, as well as a lot of carotene, which is very beneficial to enriching blood, so boiled carrots are a good soup for enriching blood.

Longan meat: Every summer, fresh longan comes on the market, which is a well-known blood-enriching food among the people. Longan also has many nutrients. Every 100g pulp contains 65g of sugar, 5g of protein, 5mg of phosphorus 1 18mg, 4.4mg of iron, 30mg of calcium, and abundant vitamins C and B, etc. It can treat insomnia caused by forgetfulness, palpitation and neurasthenia, and it is also a good blood-enriching food for postpartum women to eat longan soup, longan gum and longan wine.

Jujube: Suitable for women with blood deficiency. Due to excessive blood loss during childbirth, pale face, dizziness, heartbeat, pale lips and tongue look like anemia. Generally speaking, heart-blood deficiency, liver-blood deficiency and heart-spleen deficiency are more common.

Dietary taboos of confinement in summer

Avoid drinking a lot of soup too early. It is ok to drink tonic soup properly, but if the child just landed, let the mother drink a lot of soup, which is easy for the mother to secrete a lot of milk. But the newborn baby has a small stomach capacity, poor sucking power and less food. Too much milk will stagnate in the mammary duct, leading to breast swelling, which not only causes maternal pain, but also affects normal breastfeeding.

Avoid drinking brown sugar water for too long. Drinking too much brown sugar water will not only damage pregnant women's teeth, but also lead to excessive sweating, weakness and even heatstroke if pregnant women drink too much in summer. In addition, drinking too much brown sugar will increase the blood volume in lochia, leading to maternal blood loss and anemia.

Avoid eating hard, salty and cold food. Postpartum women are weak and have little activity. Eating hard food is easy to cause indigestion. Salty food contains more salt, which is easy to cause water and sodium retention in maternal body and cause edema. During confinement in summer, parturients sometimes eat some cold food, such as ice cream, frozen drinks, cold salad, etc. But eating these foods too early after delivery will not only affect teeth and digestive function, but also easily damage the spleen and stomach, which is not conducive to lochia discharge.

Avoid taking ginseng in a hurry The new mother, who just gave birth to a baby, has great energy and physical exertion and needs to stay in bed. If she takes ginseng at this time, she will find it difficult to sleep because of excitement, which will affect her energy recovery. Therefore, new mothers should not take ginseng within one week after delivery. Seven days after delivery, the new mother's wound has healed. Eating some ginseng at this time will help the new mother recover. But don't take too much. Ginseng is hot, and taking it in summer is more likely to cause new mothers to get angry.

Avoid eating too many eggs. Medical research shows that during the whole puerperium, new mothers need about 100g of protein every day, so eating 3 ~ 4 eggs every day is enough. Eating too many eggs will increase the burden on the stomach and even easily lead to stomach problems.

Avoid eating more monosodium glutamate. In order to avoid zinc deficiency, new mothers should avoid eating too much monosodium glutamate. Generally speaking, it is ok for adults to eat monosodium glutamate, while infants, especially infants within 12 weeks, if their mothers eat a high-protein diet while breastfeeding, it will be very unfavorable to the infants and lead to zinc deficiency. In this way, the baby is not only prone to poor taste and anorexia, but also causes adverse consequences such as mental retardation and growth retardation.

Avoid drinking a lot of boiled water. Generally, new mothers are usually edema at the end of pregnancy, and confinement after childbirth is the golden period of physical recovery. During this time, the accumulated water in the body should be drained as much as possible. If the mother drinks too much water, it is not conducive to physical recovery. If the mother of cesarean section may need to take some drugs, she still needs to drink a proper amount of water, but don't drink a lot at once, but drink it in batches.

Warm reminder: Bathing can make it difficult for bacteria around vulva wounds to stay, and it can also promote blood circulation of vulva wounds, which is conducive to wound healing.
