Can Confucius wash his feet?

In fact, confinement is a China tradition with China characteristics, that is to say, according to the traditional confinement, you can't wash your hair, bathe or even wash your feet within one month after delivery. Actually, this is unscientific. To advocate scientific confinement now, we should do the following: First, pay attention to personal hygiene. Of course, you can also wash your feet by confinement. You can soak your feet with hot water before going to bed every day, which can promote sleep. At the same time, you can wash your hair and take a bath properly, but it is recommended to take a shower instead of taking a bath. Second, a balanced diet, in addition to big fish and big meat, should also be appropriately supplemented with fresh vegetables, fruits and other foods rich in vitamins; Third, paying attention to indoor ventilation can reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases in pregnant women and newborns.

Precautions for confinement are as follows:

1, keep the perineum clean, urinate more, and do not hold your urine. If there is catheterization, indwelling catheter or abrasions around the urethra during delivery, it may stimulate the urethra to produce this uncomfortable feeling. Pay attention to drink more water, urinate more and don't hold your urine in your daily life. You can clean the perineum with warm water, change underwear and perineum pads frequently, and keep the perineum clean. Please go to the hospital when the symptoms are not relieved or aggravated.

2, postpartum weight loss does not need premature birth. Dieting to lose weight is not desirable for ordinary people, especially new mothers. Within 42 days after delivery, the maternal body has not fully recovered to the pre-pregnancy level, so it needs to take in rich nutrition and get adequate rest. In addition, some pregnant women need breastfeeding and nutrition. Postpartum forced dieting, although effective in a short time, may lead to various postpartum complications. After a long time, the nutrition needed for breastfeeding will be insufficient, not only the milk secretion will be reduced, but also the composition of milk will be affected, thus damaging the nutrition of newborns and affecting their growth and development. Postpartum weight loss, not too early, as long as a reasonable diet, moderate exercise, adhere to breastfeeding, generally three months after delivery will slowly lose weight.

3, postpartum skin care carefully choose skin care products. Generally speaking, due to the change of postpartum hormone level, the skin will also show a certain degree of sensitivity and fragility. Preservatives, aromatic compounds and pigments commonly contained in skin care products are the three major substances that cause skin allergies. Although you can use skin care products after delivery, you need to choose carefully and try to avoid using cosmetics. Daily use of skin care products generally does not affect breastfeeding.

4. Postpartum alopecia can recover spontaneously in 6-9 months after delivery. Postpartum alopecia is generally a physiological phenomenon caused by hormone readjustment in postpartum body. It will recover after 6-9 months without special treatment. If hair loss is serious, you can take vitamin B 1, oryzanol, etc. Under the guidance of a doctor. Pay attention to maintain adequate sleep and good mental state in daily life, pay attention to reasonable diet, eat more digestible foods with high protein, low fat, high vitamins and iron, and eat more fresh vegetables.
