Some mothers suffer from insomnia at night due to various reasons and don’t know how to sleep well. What is the best way to sleep during the confinement period? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What is the best way to sleep during confinement?

1. Comfortable bedding Mothers spend a long time on the bed, so a comfortable bed is very important. The bedding should have a certain degree of softness. If it is too soft, it will be difficult for mothers to turn over, which is not conducive to rest and sleep.

2. What should you avoid eating during the confinement period and how should you avoid eating?

1. Avoid spicy food

Foods and drinks such as leeks, garlic sprouts, chili peppers, pepper, fennel, and wine are spicy, warm and dry. Excessive consumption can cause internal heat in mothers, mouth ulcers, constipation or hemorrhoids. In babies, it can cause stomatitis, drooling and other problems after breastfeeding. Therefore, the above spicy foods can be used as seasonings, but you should not eat too much.

2. Avoid eating cold rice

It is unscientific that some mothers like to eat cold rice. Because cold rice can easily damage the spleen and stomach, affect digestive function and cause diarrhea. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "heat moves and cold stagnates". Raw and cold foods can easily cause blood stasis, which can lead to postpartum abdominal pain, lochia retention and other diseases.

3. Avoid malted milk

Some families believe that malted milk is a tonic and give it to postpartum women to drink in large quantities. However, the more malted milk they drink, the less milk they have to feed their babies. Why is this? Because the main raw materials of maltose and maltol in malt extract are extracted from malt, and malt is the main medicine for reducing lactation in traditional Chinese medicine, malt extract should not be consumed during the confinement period.

4. Avoid drinking tea

Mothers should avoid drinking tea during breastfeeding because the caffeine in tea can enter the baby's abdomen through breast milk and cause intestinal cramps in the baby. This is why babies breastfed by mothers who drink tea frequently often cry for no reason.
