Confinement is a custom in traditional Chinese culture, and women usually need to take care of their children for a month after giving birth to them to promote their bodies. Although this traditional practice is now also popular in some overseas regions, its necessity and scientific validity are still debated. Here are some views and suggestions on the necessity and scientific nature of confinement.
1.The necessity of confinement: According to medical research, after giving birth, women experience many physiological changes inside their bodies.
Confinement may be necessary in certain situations as it can help strengthen the recovery of bones, bone marrow and body tissues, speed up wound healing, promote uterine contractions, and prevent various infections.
2.The science of confinement: The timing and method of confinement may vary in different regions and families in China.
Scientific confinement should be based on the woman's physical condition and the guidance of the doctor, including scientific diet, appropriate exercise, appropriate rest and keeping the pressure low, etc., rather than blindly following tradition and perception. Therefore, scientific and strict confinement should avoid unscientific practices such as excessive rest, unhealthy diet, or excessive use of herbs and conditioners.
3.About confinement abroad: Confinement abroad requires consideration of local culture and medical practices.
In some countries, doctors generally do not recommend excessive rest and restriction. Therefore, before confinement abroad, you need to consult the advice of a professional doctor and tailor a plan that suits you.
Overall, confinement may be necessary in specific circumstances, but it is necessary to consult with a doctor to develop a confinement plan based on individual circumstances and medical advice. Confinement requires a scientific and rational approach, rather than blindly following tradition. Most importantly, like all other physical programs, confinement is scientifically and rigorously executed to ensure effective effects and reduce unnecessary risks.

I thought it was already difficult in the third trimester, but after confinement, I found out that it was even more difficult to survive! Although confinement is related to the health of the future, the various taboos and customs during this period are simply overwhelming! So confinement is really too boring and torturous, who knows who has experienced it, let's take a look at how tormenting confinement is!
Feeding in the middle of the night
During the month, the baby grows very fast, and he has to feed once every 2 hours, especially in the middle of the night, when the baby cries and has to get up to feed, the girl who can't move in the middle of the night can never come back. The baby's cry is the holy decree, sometimes the dream is that the baby is crying to find milk to eat, I feel that I am about to have a nervous breakdown, whether it is day or night, as soon as I have time, I will seize the time to sleep.
Mastitis
At the beginning of breastfeeding has little experience, mother-in-law and mother want to quickly feed the baby, make up for it, an old hen a day, 6 meals a day are not ambiguous, do not want to eat and are said not to consider the baby's rations. The doctor said that if you eat lighter, they won't listen to it at all, so they think that the local method is good, and they successfully fed the mother with mastitis, and she didn't cry after giving birth, but she cried because of mastitis!
Postpartum lateral incision wounds, hemorrhoids pain
Most mothers who give birth naturally will have a lateral incision, and those who say that it does not hurt after natural delivery are estimated to be less painful than the contractions before birth, in fact, the lateral incision wound is also very painful, especially when going to the toilet, it is sour, and the memories are painful. There are also hemorrhoids that collapse during normal childbirth, which hurts from time to time, and I eat and make up for it during the confinement, and I can't rub the hemorrhoids medicine when I breastfeed, so I can only endure the pain.
Do not allow you to wash your hair and take a bath
Although the doctor said that the side incision wound can be washed and bathed, the mother-in-law and mother have never allowed them to wash their hair and bathe, and their attitude is very tough, saying that if they wash it, they will fall into confinement disease and regret it for the rest of their lives. As a result, I feel that the whole person has been slimy all the time, and it is about to stink, which is really unbearable!
Postpartum depression
I don't sleep well every day when I breastfeed, and I have to endure all kinds of blame that my mother-in-law often says that the milk is not enough for the baby to eat, my husband will not do anything if I don't give up, everything can only rely on myself, I have a child to see through my husband, I have seen through my mother-in-law, I feel that I used to be good to myself because I had a child in my belly, and now the child is out, everyone only cares about the child, and I am just a wet nurse.

I only washed my hair twice during the whole confinement period, the first time was after about half a month to wash, I really couldn't stand it, it was itchy, and it was summer, the temperature of the air conditioner could not be turned on too low, and I sweated a lot after giving birth, and I didn't hold on. After the full moon, the legs will feel cold when blowing the air conditioner, which is obviously not comparable to the body before giving birth.

During confinement, the whole body will be inexplicably sore, and it will be very psychologically exhausting.
During the confinement period, you should pay attention not to touch particularly cold water, eat a variety of diets, balance nutrition, do not take drugs casually, so as not to affect breastfeeding, have enough sleep, can not stay up late, and maintain a happy mood.
Keep the indoor temperature about 25°C, if the air is dry, you can use an indoor humidifier to keep the indoor humidity 55%-65%. It is also necessary to open the windows frequently for ventilation, and ensure ventilation twice a day, about 15 minutes each time, to keep the indoor air fresh, prevent illness and facilitate the development of the child's body and brain.
