The Chinese people are very concerned about sitting on the moon, and traditionally there are many taboo matters, such as no blowing, no bathing, no washing hair, no brushing teeth, no eating cold food, and so on. But did you know? Some of the taboos in the month are misunderstood. Taboo 1, the month can not be windy and cold. The traditional concept that the mother can not blow the wind, the whole body should be wrapped completely, doors and windows closed, otherwise it will lead to “puerperal fever” (postpartum wind). In fact, the real cause of puerperal fever is not the blowing wind, but the pathogenic bacteria hidden in the maternal reproductive organs, and the failure of prenatal examination and disinfection, as well as the lack of puerperal hygiene may lead to puerperal fever. Correct practice: 1, during the sitting period to avoid the body directly blowing to the fan wind; 2, do not open the air to the maternal air, and set the room temperature at about 25 to 28 degrees Celsius is the most appropriate; 3, during the sitting period clothes due to excessive sweating and wet, must be immediately replaced with dry clothes; winter bedside preparation robe, get up in the middle of the night to breastfeed to immediately put on, so as not to be wind chill. Taboo 2, sitting in the moon can not comb, wash hair, bath. Fact: A week after giving birth, the mother will sweat a lot, and the puerperium is a more vulnerable period of the body’s defense system, during this period not bathing, not washing hair, will only increase the chance of infection! As long as physical strength allows, women in normal labor can take a bath at any time. Bathing can increase blood circulation throughout the body, speed up metabolism, keep the sweat gland holes open, and facilitate the discharge of metabolic products in the body through sweat. Correct practice: within four weeks after delivery, the cervix has not yet closed, do not take a sitz bath or tub bath, so as not to cause uterine or pelvic infection. However, the vulva should be rinsed 2~3 times a day. For women with lateral incision wounds, the vulva should be douched after each bowel movement. Women who have had a cesarean section should keep their abdominal wounds dry and clean, and should not take a shower or bath until the wound is removed. Or ask the doctor to make the abdominal wound waterproof protection before showering. Taboo 3, fruits and vegetables water gas, during the month should be avoided. Many elderly people believe that vegetables and fruits are watery and cannot be eaten by women in labor, but in fact, if there are not enough vegetables and fruits, they can easily lead to constipation, which is medically known as puerperal constipation. Vegetables and fruits are rich in human “three treasures”, namely vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, which can promote the recovery of the gastrointestinal tract function, enhance appetite, promote sugar and protein absorption and utilization, especially to prevent constipation and help achieve nutritional balance. The correct approach: start with a normal meal, half a fruit per day, and gradually increase to 1-2 fruits after a few days. Vegetables start at about one or two per meal, and gradually increase to about 4 or two per meal. The first thing you need to do is to take care of your children. In the process of breastfeeding, some mothers believe that “the milk is not bloated not to hold the baby”, doctors believe that this is not conducive to lactation. It is generally believed that there are six golden principles of maternal lactation: 1, balanced nutrition; 2, less food and more meals; 3, sufficient water; 4, happy mood; 5, enough rest; 6, diligent feeding night nursing, that is, breastfeeding on demand. In addition, the correct posture of breastfeeding is also very important. Correct practice: breastfeeding should be diligent night nursing, that is, on-demand nursing, as long as the baby wants to eat, should be satisfied. In particular, the secretion of milk within 5-7 days after giving birth is called colostrum, which has a highly nutritional and immune dual role, colostrum is rich in anti-infective substances, the child is not prone to obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease, but also to prevent certain sexual diseases, such as eczema, asthma, etc. Taboo 5, you can’t brush your teeth during the month, otherwise you will lose them prematurely later. There is a folklore of “having a baby and losing a tooth”, that brushing and rinsing in the month will shake the roots of the teeth and hurt the flesh of the teeth, causing premature loosening, falling out or bleeding. As a result, many women are afraid to brush their teeth easily during the month. Correct practice: You must brush your teeth every day during the month. You should start brushing your teeth on the second day after delivery as long as your physical strength allows, preferably no more than three days. But need to pay attention to the following points: 1, pay attention to the intake of calcium nutrition during pregnancy, to maintain oral hygiene, to avoid making damage; 2, the maternal body is weaker, is in the adjustment, the cold stimulation is more . Therefore, remember to brush your teeth with warm water, and it is best to soften the toothbrush with warm water before brushing, to prevent the cold stimulus on and gum stimulation is too large; 3, every morning and night and before bedtime brush once, if you have the habit of eating late night snacks, brush again after eating snacks; 4, can be used 3 days after delivery finger rinse, that is, the index finger washed or wrapped in gauze on the index finger, squeeze toothpaste on the finger and act as a brush head, in the back and forth, up and down wipe, and then use the finger to press the gums for several days. Then use your finger to press the gums several times. This can activate blood circulation, solid, to avoid the loosening. Taboo 6, can not be tears, can not read books and newspapers, television for a long time. Postpartum women’s hormone secretion has not yet returned to normal, so emotions are easily affected, often because of some small things mood depression and tears, these can lead to excessive use of the eyes, so that the eyes are overworked. The right way: 1, sit during the moon to keep the mood relaxed, listen to soft music; 2, listen to the sound of television instead of watching television, let the eyes rest. Taboo 7, sitting on the moon diet can not add salt. In October, especially in the late stages, water will be retained in the body, causing edema, some people are even swollen even shoes can not wear. Because of the hormonal changes, there will be a diuretic period in the week after delivery, and the body will sweat or urinate to get rid of excess food and water. So if you take in too much salt, it is likely to lead to water retention and affect the health of the mother. The above problems deserve the attention of the mother, but considering that the mother is prone to sweat a lot during this period, and electrolyte replenishment still needs salt, in addition, the mother’s appetite is already very bad, it is unlikely to use salt at all, so salt can still be used when sitting on the moon, but it must be less than usual.
