Since ancient times, women in China have had the habit of confinement after giving birth. This traditional habit has also been criticized by many people, saying that it is a bad habit with traditional characteristics in China. But if confinement is reasonable now, it can make pregnant women recover better. Because the traditional confinement is not only for the rest of the mother, but also for many incomprehensible behaviors. For example, mother not only can't go out, but also needs to sit in bed all the time. You can't open doors and windows during confinement, and you need to keep the air from circulating. Moreover, women need to wear hats or towels and thick clothes all the time, whether in summer or winter. Women can't wash their hair and bathe or even brush their teeth during confinement. This extreme practice has also caused many people to have a strong psychological resistance to confinement.
However, the postpartum practices of westerners and China people are completely different. China people like to drink hot water after delivery, while westerners don't care whether it is hot water or cold water, mainly for comfort. Some people think this is because westerners have a lot of hair on their bodies. Others believe that the reason why westerners don't have confinement is because western women are generally larger.
If you live in the western way, your body will recover quickly. It has to be admitted that westerners are better than China in physique and resistance. A lot of calcium and protein will not be lost after delivery, so it doesn't take a month to supplement nutrition after delivery. Women in China need confinement after childbirth to recover their health because of the great differences in dietary structure in the system.
