01 Keep warm at night
In autumn, there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, especially at night, and as a confinement mother who cannot get cold and is still relatively weak, she must close the doors and windows when she sleeps at night to avoid being cold by the wind.
Due to the changeable temperature in autumn, it is easy to catch a cold and get sick due to such changes. Therefore, mothers should change their clothes in time according to climate change, and they can wear thinner cotton clothes when the temperature is high at noon. Don't forget to put on a jacket to protect yourself from the cold in the morning and evening when the temperature is cold.
02 Tonic should not be excessive
In autumn, the weather gradually dries out, the lungs open in the nose, epistaxis or nasal dryness is especially common after the beginning of autumn, and dryness can easily lead to dry throat, dry mouth, hoarseness and other discomforts.

However, when taking supplements, it should be noted that the more supplements the better, and should be properly supplemented, as more is easy to overnourish, and less will be detrimental to the body.

03 Pay attention to personal hygiene
Some elderly people feel that they can't brush their teeth or take a bath and wash their hair during confinement, which will not only speed up postpartum hair loss, but also be very bad for dental health, so it is recommended that mothers use soft-bristled toothbrushes for oral care and pay attention to rinsing their mouths after meals. When bathing, it is best to use a scrub bath or shower to avoid infection caused by the bath water. Because there is more lochia in the postpartum mother, it is necessary to change and wash the underwear frequently, keep personal hygiene clean, and wash it with warm water.
04 Exercise properly and get enough rest
Just after giving birth, the mother's body is very weak, so most of them will rest in bed, but this method is not conducive to the recovery of the postpartum body, but it is easy to cause gastrointestinal peristalsis to slow down, causing postpartum constipation. In addition, after giving birth to a baby, the abdominal muscles are relaxed, and a large amount of nutrients are supplemented every day, which can easily cause fat accumulation, which is not conducive to health.
Therefore, postpartum confinement should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, neither can not lie in bed completely still, nor do strenuous exercise, proper exercise can prevent postpartum obesity, and quickly recover the figure. 6-8 hours after giving birth, the mother can do some chest expansion and wrapping movements in bed, and after 12 hours, she can get out of bed, and if she can't go out, she can walk slowly in the room, or do postpartum health exercises. By 2 weeks after giving birth, you can appropriately increase the duration of exercise, from the original ten minutes to half an hour or more, if there is any discomfort in the exercise, you must stop immediately. Mothers should remember to move gently and gradually to avoid physical exhaustion.
