traditional custom

There is a tradition in many places, that is, married daughters are not allowed to return to their parents' homes for confinement. It is believed that this will bring bad luck to the mother's family and affect the boy's luck and future development. However, this concept has no scientific basis, just a traditional custom.

Scientific health preservation

According to common sense, it is natural for a daughter to go back to her husband's house for confinement after giving birth, which can avoid frequent moving between her husband's house and her mother's house and reduce the disturbance to the newborn baby. If a mother is worried about her daughter, she can take care of her at any time. No matter where you are confined, the key is to take good care of your body. Physical recovery during confinement is very important for every mother.

Use drugs with caution.

Breast-feeding mothers need to take medicine under the guidance of a doctor, so as not to affect milk secretion and baby's growth and development.

Pay attention to nursing hygiene

Wipe the nipple with a clean hot towel before feeding to ensure hygiene. Wipe it after feeding to help the baby clean his mouth.

Keep enough milk.

Breast-feeding mothers should pay attention to drinking water and nutrition to ensure that the baby has enough milk to drink.

Dispose of excess milk.

If the baby still has excess milk after eating, it is recommended to suck it out with a breast pump and refrigerate it. If there is too much milk, you can pour it out. The breast pump should be cleaned regularly to avoid mastitis caused by bacteria.
