How to correctly take care of the baby

During the confinement period, you must master the correct confinement method to avoid the occurrence of diseases. Malnutrition will also affect the body's recovery. Therefore, you must pay attention to nutritional intake every day. Many women think that it is no big deal after giving birth, and neglect the maintenance of their bodies during the confinement period, such as appropriate activities and care of the children. How to do confinement correctly? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. How to take care of the confinement period correctly?

1. Start activities 24 hours after delivery and gradually increase the amount of activity.

2. Eat a balanced diet, eat more lean meat, soy products, eggs, vegetables and fruits, eat less fat, sweets and sugary foods, and avoid eating too salty, too sour, too cold, and spicy foods. You can also eat some bananas, honey and crude fiber foods.

3. Feeding the baby with breast milk can promote the involution of the uterus, quickly shrink the bloated abdominal wall, promote metabolism and nutrient circulation in the body, and reduce the accumulation of subcutaneous fat.

4. Do postpartum gymnastics. Do activities such as raising your head, stretching your arms, and bending your legs 1-3 days after delivery, 4-5 times a day, 5-6 times each time. After a week, you can start doing supine abdominal muscle exercises and prone lumbar muscle exercises in bed, such as sit-ups, abdominal and back exercises, stretching exercises, breathing exercises, etc. This can enable the mother to restore the strength of her whole body muscles as soon as possible, increase the tension of the abdominal and perineal muscles, promote the discharge of lochia, and prevent postpartum diseases such as retroverted uterus, urinary incontinence, and uterine prolapse. It can also eliminate excess fat in the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, etc., which is very beneficial for restoring the mother's pre-pregnancy figure.

2. Postpartum care from family members is very important

Mothers in labor are generally easily emotional, so family members should be more considerate of them and not vent their complaints in front of them, let alone talk about unpleasant things. During the confinement period, the husband should be extra considerate to his wife and try to take on as much housework and baby-care as possible to help the mother to calm her mind and maintain a good mental state.

3. Childbirth stage

1. Don’t be nervous. Once you start to feel the signs of labor, you’ll know that the baby is about to be born. You can wash your hair and take a shower and go to the hospital in your pajamas. Drinking honey water before delivery can shorten the "torture" time by at least four hours and reduce pain.

2. Natural childbirth is better than caesarean section - a metaphor for a bruised arm (fast recovery and strong resistance)

90% of mothers and children who have caesarean sections will have a fever in the first month - because their immune system is weak

If the child does not go through the process of being squeezed by the birth canal, it will not be good for his development. When he grows up, his brain's balance and comprehensive abilities will be relatively poor, and he will have difficulty concentrating.
