How can I recover after the confinement period?

Women need to stay in confinement after giving birth. This is not only an ancient tradition of the Chinese nation, but also a manifestation of being responsible for their own health. However, don’t think that confinement is as simple as just lying in bed for a month. You must be careful about every detail from diet to daily life, otherwise it will be bad to leave a root of disease. So, how can women recover their health after confinement?

The diet should be reasonable, comprehensive and nutritious. Lean meat, eggs, fish and other protein-rich foods should be consumed every day. Fruits and vegetables should also be eaten. Most importantly, rice and pasta should be eaten with every meal. Don't think that you can lose weight after giving birth and refuse to eat these starchy foods.

Get enough sleep and go to bed on time at 10 o'clock every night. The body's recovery period is mostly during sleep at night. Only when you eat well and sleep well, can the various organs of the body recover quickly.

Walking around the house appropriately will help the blood circulation of the body and keep various parts of the body in motion, so that they will not be fixed in one position for a long time, which will lead to slow recovery.

Relax your mind and don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you feel that you are not able to take good care of your baby, or are worried about the baby not eating enough, it is best to take care of the baby during the confinement period. Basically, the baby will eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and the baby will cry when hungry. Just change the diaper frequently and you will be fine. Only when your mind is relaxed can it help your body recover.

Try not to do housework, especially strenuous work such as mopping the floor, carrying basins of water, etc. After working, the body will be in a state of mild fatigue, which is not helpful for physical recovery.

Try to lie in bed and rest most of the day. This will not only help the uterus, stomach and other organs in the body return to their previous positions, but also make it easier to take care of the baby.
