Mother Care After Child Birth


After baby's birth, most mothers devote their time caring for their baby and ignore their health. It is important that mother's take proper care of their health. Here are few things which mothers must do to take care of their health:

Keep yourself clean as you are in close contact with your child. It is important for you to have a well balanced diet. Your diet should be a right combination of protein, calcium, minerals and iron. Vitamins tablets must be taken only after consulting the doctor. Constipation could occur during the first two or three weeks after the baby is born, so drink plenty of water and fruit juices. If you are unwell you must pay a visit to your doctor and feel free to discuss your problems. When you visit the doctor, you can also enquire about your baby's feeding and sleeping patterns.

Avoid exerting pressure on your body during the initial weeks after your baby is born. Mothers who put too much pressure on their body can face future health problems. Light housework and mild exercise are usually permitted but don't indulge yourself in heavy work or lifting heavy objects. Sexual relations are usually not advisable until six weeks after delivery. You must do simple and light exercise that may help you to regain your health and shape. It is recommended that you must visit your doctor for at least one examination after a month to check if there is any problem in your body. Only if the mother is healthy she can take proper care of their child so stay fit, healthy and happy.
