What are the precautions for postpartum care in summer

After giving birth, a woman's body needs to pay special attention to recovery and conditioning. Because the body is in the recovery stage at this time, if you don't pay enough attention to conditioning, it will directly affect the recovery of the mother and the healthy breastfeeding of the baby. However, many mothers do not know and understand this common sense. So let us take a detailed look at the issues that postpartum women should pay attention to in summer.

1. Drinking appropriate amount of brown sugar water can supplement iron and act as a diuretic. Brown sugar is high in iron, as well as a variety of trace elements and minerals, which can promote the discharge of lochia and prevent urinary incontinence. However, drinking too much can cause new mothers to sweat more and lose salt from their bodies. Therefore, it should not be consumed for too long, and should not exceed 10 days at most.

2. Gradually transition from a liquid diet to a normal diet.

After delivery, it takes some time for the digestive system to recover, so you can choose some foods that are easier to digest in the first few days after delivery. You can transition from porridge and noodles to rice porridge, and then to rice and pasta.

3. Eat small meals frequently and don't overeat. Because new mothers spend most of their time lying in bed during the confinement period, they should not eat too much at each meal and can eat when they are hungry.

4. It is best to eat mainly natural foods and not take too many nutritional supplements. At present, there are many health foods on the market. Some people believe that the process of pregnancy and childbirth can cause great damage to women's vitality, and they should take more health products to replenish their body. This idea is wrong. During the confinement period, you should mainly eat natural green food and try to eat less or no artificial supplements. You can also choose to consume some mother's milk powder, multivitamins or calcium tablets designed specifically for pregnant women, because mothers in confinement, especially those who are breastfeeding, need to supplement more calcium, iron, vitamins and minerals.

Postpartum mothers should pay attention to understanding this common sense to speed up their body's recovery. At the same time, they should also pay attention to observation. If their body does not recover well after delivery and there are some abnormal problems, they need to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to see what caused the problem and take the most effective conditioning and treatment methods.
