Perinatal health clinic, we found that \"confinement\" of some bad habits take over in some of the new mother, in some suburban and rural areas, even many of these stereotypes still value highly, seriously affected the maternal postpartum recovery of the body.
\"Postpartum invisible wind\".
Some people due to low resistance of all postpartum disease called \"wind\", and this \"wind\" and the confused nature of wind. Therefore, in the maternity room, often closed, hangs curtains around, indoor hot, dirty air, resulting in maternal soaked with prickly heat, baby head, and also very easy to have respiratory tract infectious diseases. In fact, the room clean environment and fresh air, both critical to maternal and newborn babies are. Ventilation, adequate lighting of the room is very necessary, mother and child as long as exposure to convective wind, avoiding direct hair dryers, ventilation in warm when is not \"wind\".
Two for \"postpartum cannot bathe\".
The view was expressed that postpartum sweat pores open, take a bath can make evil outside intrusion was \"confinement\" and is therefore within one month after childbirth without bath wash your face. This practice is no scientific basis. Postpartum because of metabolism is extremely strong, women often wet with sweat soaked underwear. Together with the pollution spilled milk and session pudendal hang-over, long bath inevitably got all the dirt, easily through a variety of ways to propagation of bacteria and other pathogenic invasion, leading to puerperal infection. Therefore, maternal than anyone else, need to clean the body, to change. Postpartum the first few days of hot water can wash rub oneself down with a wet towel, you can wash the bath after a week, just don\'t wash bath, bathing at a time when warm, avoiding cold on it.
Three for \"postpartum not brush my teeth.\"
Some people believe that postpartum and brush your teeth \"tooth\", in confinement not brush my teeth. This claim is wrong. Food to remain in the surface of the teeth and teeth after meals, not clean in time will soon be formation of dental plaque, plaque bacteria in food fermentation acid corrosion damage of residual teeth. Therefore, postpartum must be normal gargle and brush your teeth. As long as the warm-water mouthwash, toothbrush texture not too hard, is not going to damage teeth.
Four for \"postpartum not early out of bed\".
Some women feel that early out of bed after delivery defects of low back pain will fall in the future, therefore, not within three days out of bed. The idea is not correct. Postpartum under earlier activities can promote uterine contractions, in favour of Lochia discharge, can also promote intestinal peristalsis and contraction of pelvic, limb muscle recovery, reduce pelvic due to bed motionless, venous thrombosis in lower extremities. Typically, women can lower urine in a period of 6 hours, after 24 hours you can sit under breastfeeding and for wash activities. Just to note that activities should be gradually increase in the amount, not too long time to stand, squat, and excessive abdominal pressure on it. Around a week after delivery, you can also do some conditioning exercises after delivery, as appropriate, to promote the full restoration of the body.
Five for \"postpartum early breastfeeding is not required.\"
Some women believe that postpartum day, little milk, is also the thin soup clip water, feed the children have no meaning. This view is wrong. Initial secretion of breast milk is rich in antibodies colostrum, although there was, for baby enhanced resistance is extremely important. Therefore, the time the feed started earlier the better, the best children are born, let it suck the nipple. Early not only can let baby suck eat valuable colostrum can also stimulate the nipples, mammary glands secrete enough breast milk as soon as possible. Early breastfeeding can also stimulate uterine contractions, in favour of postpartum recovery.
Maternal pregnancy after a long and difficult period of childbirth, needs adequate rest and maintenance of science, to promote the reproductive organs and body systems to restore as soon as possible. \"Confinement\" of these stereotypes are not conducive to the maternal body in recovery, should be abandoned altogether.
In fact, these practices often heard in daily life brought around, including many high cultural qualities of women. Perhaps, not everyone does not know, but we always thought down experience of the older generation, regardless of whether the scientific basis, always harm. However, experts don\'t think so, doctor in the Shen Edition when editing this draft, repeatedly told, this script might have nothing to arresting people of eye of the press, but clinically, this phenomenon is that she was deeply concerned. In addition to the issues mentioned in the text, what is more, there are a lot of women there are abortion or out of bed, unable to take a bath after the various common sense errors, and these errors will significantly damage the woman\'s physical health. This day and age, women in the speed of work and life renewing with each passing day, why not try to update these old ideas are mentioned in this article?
