Are there superstitious taboos about visiting a new mother?
There are superstitious taboos about visiting a new mother.In some places, it is said that pregnant women should not visit a new mother. Because the meeting between a pregnant woman and a postpartum woman can cause conflict, which is bad for both. It is said that if a pregnant woman visits a new mother's home, she may take away the milk of the new mother, leading to insufficient milk production and no milk for the baby. However, this is a superstitious belief. If the local area is very superstitious, it is better to follow the tradition, but if not, it doesn't matter.
Does a man really affect luck by entering the postpartum room?
In traditional beliefs, if a man enters the postpartum room, it will have a negative impact on the luck of both parties. It is said that there is a heavy "sha qi" (evil energy) and "blood qi" in the postpartum room. If a man enters, it will create a collision, not only affecting the health of the baby but also damaging his own luck. In severe cases, it could even bring bad luck for three years.However, this belief has no scientific basis. It is mainly because the air in the postpartum room is quite polluted, and men cannot tolerate it, so this belief emerged.
Why shouldn't a new mother be exposed to wind?
During the postpartum period, maintaining good air circulation in the room is very important, and it is best to open windows and curtains frequently. However, even on hot summer days, the new mother should not sleep next to the window. Because the window is the main air inlet of the room, and the airflow is very chaotic. If the new mother sleeps next to the window for a long time, the airflow will directly hit her.If the new mother is constantly exposed to chaotic airflow, it inevitably affects her luck and health. Additionally, from a scientific perspective, the window is an active ventilation point. If the new mother is exposed to the wind for a long time, there are too many factors that can lead to illness, making her prone to colds, infections, and inflammation, which is not conducive to her health.
Moreover, the new mother's body is weak during the postpartum period, and she is in the worst state of her energy field, making her susceptible to the invasion of wind-cold pathogens. During the postpartum period, due to the new mother's extremely weak body, wind-cold is difficult to cure, and in severe cases, it can even lead to chronic headaches.
Therefore, during the postpartum period, to avoid catching a cold, the new mother needs to pay special attention to avoiding cold water or cold air. When it is not too cold, she can open the window for ventilation, but should not allow the airflow to directly blow onto her.
