Can women brush their teeth and wash their hair during confinement? Regarding the 'pits' in the confinement, how many have you stepped on?

For pregnant women, in order to give birth to a healthy baby, there are too many things to pay attention to. They can't eat or drink. They always think that they should be free after giving birth, but I didn't expect that. There is also the talk of confinement.

Confinement is a deeply ingrained existence in the concept of the older generation. As long as there is anyone in the family who is confinement, it must be the seven aunts and eight aunts who will come together to share with you many taboos during the confinement period. It is often heard that women cannot wash their hair and brush their teeth during confinement. Is this true?

In fact, the reason why some people think that they cannot wash their hair during the confinement period is mainly because they feel that it is easy to catch a cold , and it is easy to have a headache . In fact, there is no clear rule that you must not wash during the confinement period. In the past, the older generation did not have a hair dryer and did not see the sun. It may take a long time to dry, and it is easy to catch cold at this time.

However, after the living standard has improved, if you wash your hair, dry your hair with hot air in time , and you can wash it without the wind.

The elderly also feel that they cannot brush their teeth at this time, they are prone to calcium deficiency, and even accelerate the loosening of their teeth. In fact, there is no scientific basis. If you don't brush your teeth , a lot of bacteria will grow in your mouth, which will continuously corrode your teeth , but will accelerate the loosening of your teeth. As for calcium deficiency, it has nothing to do with brushing your teeth. You should still brush.

In addition to shampooing and brushing teeth, it is easy to fall into the misunderstanding. Presumably the following are also the thunder that many people often step on.

Should I stay in bed more and move less after giving birth?

Truth: You need more rest after childbirth , but if you stay in bed often , you will not only be prone to obesity , but also cause urine to not be excreted normally , cause constipation , lower extremity venous thrombosis , and even cause various gynecological diseases .

Don't do large-scale activities just after giving birth. When your body is almost recovered, you can get out of bed and walk around to help your body recover faster.

During the confinement period, should you cover more and open less windows?

The truth: At this time, the maternal perspiration system is relatively developed . In addition to taking care of the baby, the clothes are easy to get wet and bacteria are easy to breed . At this time, you can open more windows for ventilation .

If you sweat a lot, it is not suitable for covering, you can wear some cool short sleeves and change clothes frequently . However, there is no sun outside and the wind is still strong . At this time, it is necessary to open the windows less to avoid catching a cold .

These misunderstandings must have been experienced by women who have done confinement. Some may have some truth, but some are actually just old ideas left by the older generation, and there is no need to blindly abide by them. It is still necessary to scientifically confine confinement .

However, there are some things to pay attention to during the confinement period:

1. More calcium and vitamins

At this time, the maternal body is relatively weak, and it is not suitable to eat too much food. On the basis of ensuring nutrition, more attention should be paid to calcium and vitamin supplementation, which will help the mother's body recover as soon as possible. You can drink some warm milk and eat fresh . vegetables and fruits .

2. Don't be overly sad and cry

At this time, women's emotions will be more sensitive , and they will be very sad when they encounter a little thing , and they ca n't help crying , but mothers must pay attention to regulation. If you are in a bad mood all the time, it is not only not conducive to the recovery of the body, but also prone to psychological problems. Think about happy things .

Therefore, women who have just given birth should confinement scientifically and rationally, and do not go into misunderstandings, otherwise it will have a great impact on the body and mind. However, maternal nutrition and emotional care are indeed very important. As long as you do it well, it can help the maternal body recover as soon as possible.
