"foreign women how confinement?

Traditionally, in China, women are weak and lack of qi and blood after delivery, and it takes about a month to recuperate and replenish energy. This month is called "confinement" and medically called "puerperium". There are many unwritten rules in traditional confinement, such as "no shampoo", "no bath", "bed rest", "no wind" and "make up every day". But how hot the world is, people in different countries have different ideas and traditions, and the habit of confinement is actually different.

Japan: Pay attention to maternal nutrition. In Japan, women have about three weeks of postpartum recovery and rest after giving birth. Maternal nutrition is also highly valued. The hospital will ask a nutritionist to cook a special meal for the maternal diet.

Korea: You must drink seaweed soup for every meal. Korean tradition also attaches great importance to women's postpartum 100 days. The nursing method of confinement in Korea is very similar to that in China. Because seaweed soup is rich in trace elements, it is very beneficial to the body.

India: Take a bath with herbal water. The traditional confinement in India varies from 40 days to 60 days according to different regions. The main purpose of confinement is to prevent infection of newborns and parturients, and help parturients to return to normal life. During confinement, women are also required to eat as little spicy and cold food as possible.

USA: Get out of bed 6 hours after delivery. There is no special custom of confinement in the United States, but pregnant women will also have a rest time of two weeks to two months after giving birth. Some traditions of confinement in China need not be avoided, for example, don't catch cold, don't go out during confinement.

Although Chinese and western cultural backgrounds are different, the principles of more rest, supplementary nutrition and avoiding infection for pregnant women are the same. In a word, confinement is the foundation of good health for women and an important and worthwhile investment for individuals and families. what do you reckon ?
