What are the taboos for men to visit women who have just given birth?

Generally speaking, it is more reasonable for a woman to visit a woman who has just given birth. The process is more convenient, and there are more topics to talk about. Women also understand the psychological and physical conditions of women after childbirth, so they can better comfort women after childbirth. But sometimes, some single men have to visit a woman who has just given birth alone. If this is the case, it is best to do more homework in advance, especially men should pay attention to the following taboos when visiting a woman who has just given birth.

Taboos for men to visit pregnant women:

A woman needs to rest after giving birth, but she cannot escape traditional Chinese etiquette. In fact, as long as the relatives and friends who come to visit the mother and baby can do the following, I believe many mothers will not refuse.

First, if you want to visit a woman who has just given birth, you should call first to ask when it is convenient.

Whether the mother is giving birth in the hospital or at home, she generally does not look very presentable during the confinement period. Therefore, some pregnant mothers pay more attention to their image and do not like to be seen in a messy image. Therefore, when relatives and friends want to visit the pregnant mother, they should call in advance to give her time to tidy up a little, or tell her when she is in better physical condition and can be visited. There may be a lot of people visiting, so they need to be divided up and call to ask about the time to avoid too many people crowding in the room. It’s okay at home, but if it happens in the hospital it will easily affect other mothers and children.

Second, don’t rush to visit the baby right after it is born.

Mothers who have just come out of the delivery room are relatively weak. A quiet environment is needed to restore physical strength, and the baby has just come into this world and needs some time to adapt to the surrounding environment, so relatives and friends should give the mother and baby more time to recuperate. The most suitable time to visit is about one or two weeks later. And if you go to visit, the visiting time should not be too long, because the mother is physically weak and cannot be too tired, and the baby also needs rest.

Third, don’t have too many people visit at once, or visit too often.

The body system of a mother who has just given birth has not fully recovered, her resistance is relatively low, her immune function is not yet perfect, and the baby's resistance is also relatively weak. Too many visits will create too many sources of infection, produce a lot of bacteria, and the environment will also be polluted. It is not good for the baby and the mother, but rather a harm. Moreover, if the mother does not get enough rest, too many people and it is noisy, which will affect the mother's mood.

Fourth, relatives and friends who have a cold or other infectious diseases should not be visited.

I believe that adults can understand this point, especially when facing mothers and babies with low immunity, it is very easy to cross-infect. So when facing such people, we should politely refuse visits, and I think everyone will be aware of it.

Fifth, maintain hygiene when visiting the mother and baby.

Many relatives and friends always like to hug the baby or touch the baby’s face when visiting. In fact, mothers are very worried, so it is best not to hug the baby when relatives and friends visit. Moreover, newborn babies need to lie in bed and cannot be hugged often, which is not conducive to bone development. Moreover, talking to your baby while holding him/her can easily transfer the bacteria in your saliva to the baby, so when you visit your baby, just look at him/her.

Sixth, don’t send flowers when visiting.

Nowadays, many people like to send flowers when visiting a woman who has just given birth. In fact, this practice is wrong. When the mother and baby are in the same room, the baby's respiratory system is not yet fully developed, and it is easy for the baby to develop respiratory diseases due to the scent of flowers or pollen, and the baby 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.
