What are the taboo times for visiting a woman who has just given birth?

It is a long and painful process for women to get pregnant and give birth. After finally giving birth, all family members and friends are very happy, so they will come to visit. Here we need to remind everyone that it is best to be careful when visiting women in the confinement period. After all, women in the confinement period are physically weaker and have many taboos in diet and life. It is best not to visit the mother too early, and also pay attention to relevant taboos in terms of time.

Taboo time for visiting pregnant women:

It's best to visit after the confinement period.

A new mother is very weak after giving birth, and she needs to rest well at this time. Especially, don’t visit her immediately after the baby is born, because at this time she just wants to sleep! sleep! sleep! If you have an appointment to visit the patient in the hospital, the gang leader recommends not giving large gifts to avoid adding to the luggage when being discharged from the hospital. If you are a good cook, you can make a soup or a meal and send it to the new mother. She will be very grateful, because the whole family is busy at this time and many new mothers can only eat take-out.

Before visiting, ask the new mother for her opinion. It is best to make an appointment before going. Don’t just call and say “I’m downstairs” or just knock on the door, as this will catch people off guard. During the confinement period, the general appearance is poor, looking haggard, wearing loose nursing clothes, and having greasy and messy hair. At this time, the new mother may not want to see people. The family is busy at this time and there is no time to clean the house. The house may be filled with children's and maternity supplies placed randomly, and she would be embarrassed to show it to others. Shorten the visiting time. When visiting, don’t stay too long, or even stay for dinner, as that would seem very immature. Both the new mother and the baby need a good rest, and there are two people to take care of at home, so there are usually not enough people, so don't make things worse. Don't bring children along

Children have poor resistance and are easily sick and carry pathogens with them. Some children like to crawl around and it is difficult to keep their bodies clean. Plus, children are not careful and if they accidentally hit a newborn baby, the parents would be heartbroken.

A mother named Chou Kunkun said that her husband's colleague came to visit their home and brought his child with him. The little guy climbed onto the bed as soon as he entered the room and kept coughing. His dirty little hands kept trying to touch his daughter. The colleague couldn't control him, and during the struggle, the boy slapped her daughter in the face. She was heartbroken at the time, but she didn't know what to say. Fortunately, he didn't hit her eyes. It is not advisable to visit relatives and friends who have a cold or other infectious diseases

I believe that adults can understand this point, especially when facing new mothers and babies with low immunity, it is easy to cross-infect. I think everyone will be aware of it.

Don't send flowers when visiting

Many people like to send flowers when visiting new mothers, but this is actually a wrong practice. The baby's respiratory system is not fully developed yet, so it is easy for them to develop respiratory diseases due to the scent of flowers or pollen, and babies with weak immunity may even suffer from allergies. Moreover, the newborn's eyes are still in the development stage, and the bright colors of flowers can easily stimulate the baby's vision.

So what should I give as a gift? If the relationship is relatively close, you can call in advance to see what the new mother and baby need to avoid sending unnecessary things.

If you are embarrassed to ask, then the gang leader can give some suggestions. It’s better to send a confinement nanny as a gift, haha, every woman who has just given birth needs one, but only the biological mother, mother-in-law and husband will send one as a gift.

Giving red envelopes is the safest way. They can buy whatever they want and just carry a fruit basket in their hands.

Consumable items, such as baby diapers and wet wipes, will be consumed a lot. It is recommended to buy size M diapers, because the mother may stock up a lot of them that can be used in the near future, and relatives and friends may also give a lot as gifts.
