Patient's question:
How to perform postpartum recovery exercises, dietary planning, and mood adjustment after giving birth at the age of 30, and how to transition back into work.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Postpartum care and attention:1. In terms of diet, meals should be varied, combining coarse and fine grains, and mixing meat and vegetable dishes. Prioritize foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals (calcium, magnesium).
2. The bedroom must be well-ventilated to maintain fresh air inside. In summer, take extra care to prevent heatstroke.
3. Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene. In winter, bathe every two or three days, while in summer, take shower baths instead of tub baths. In addition to bathing, frequently clean the external genital area.
4. During postpartum bleeding (lochia), sexual intercourse is prohibited. Women with perineal wounds or vaginal injuries should postpone intercourse even longer. Get up and move around early, and persist with postpartum exercises.
5. If bleeding remains blood-tinged or resembles menstrual flow after more than two weeks postpartum, seek medical attention immediately without delay.
6. Pay attention to breast hygiene. Clean the nipples with clean water or a 2% boric acid solution before each breastfeeding session. Feed on a schedule, and express or pump out excess milk. Do not let the baby sleep with the nipple in their mouth, as this can soften and break the nipple. If the nipple cracks, apply a 50% cod liver oil bismuth ointment, let it dry, and remove it before breastfeeding. If breastfeeding is extremely painful, use a glass nursing shield to prevent the baby from suckling directly, or express the milk and feed it to the baby.
