Exercise and screen Tips for New Angers Moms Aging Groups

Childbirth groups have reacted angry at the tips that new mothers should take two hours of exercise a week and prevent the use of screens before going to bed during the three months after the birth of their baby.

Mumsnet, the social network, said that the recommendations, which also include pelvic plant exercises daily, “seem very optimistic about what a newborn care is.”

And NCT, the charity organization of parenting, warned that new parents could hurt if they did advised physical activity and could find the tips of sleep “overwhelming”.

The groups responded to the guidance prepared by a number of doctors and researchers, who were based on their analysis of 574 previous studies that involve the health of new mothers.

Canadian experts, published today in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, have concluded that after their recommendations, it would improve the physical and mental health of mothers. They say that as soon as their son is born the mothers, unless there is a physical reason, they cannot do it, it should:

• Do at least two hours of moderate to vigorous exercise a week, such as cycling, fast walk or muscle reinforcement exercises, distributed for four or more days.

The Canadian society for the physiology of exercise hopes that their advice will be useful to mothers because the orientation on how to involve physical activity after giving birth “seriously”. They examined evidence of subjects such as physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep during the first year after the baby’s birth.

But the British experts criticized the recommendations and stated the anxiety that could become “a stick to fight new mothers” and risked to encourage mothers to do it too soon.

“Clear and evidence -based orientation on postpartum exercise has long ago, and it is encouraged to see recommendations that prioritize the welfare of new mothers, even if some seem optimistic to a newborn,” said Justine Roberts, the Mumsnet’s founder and CEO.

“As Mumsnet users will show, it is much easier to develop a healthy sleep routine” than to do it.

“However, it is crucial that this orientation does not become another stick to combat new mothers.

“Many of them are already lying up to their limits, and tips like this are not always useful if you do not have the practical means to follow it.”

Katherine Walker, responsible for the development of NCT services, said that mothers would benefit from pelvic plant exercises throughout their pregnancy and after giving birth.

However, he added: “ The most vigorous exercise requires a cautious approach. The recovery time varies significantly depending on the type of birth, whether a tear, affecting 85% of the birth parents, or a part of cesarean section or a delivery of forceps, which may require a much longer period of healing.

“It is crucial not to pressure new parents to exercise while they also fit the care of their baby. We suggest slow start and build your strength, for example, walking every day.”

For women who are in accordance with motherhood, “carrying and maintaining a newborn can be a training in itself”, and parents should avoid lifting anything heavier than their baby in the first weeks.

“With sleep deprivation, it is a reality for most new parents, additional demands can be overwhelming.”

Janet Lindsay, the executive director of Wellbeing of Women, also seemed a note of caution. “Exercise is beneficial and should happen when new mothers are ready and in the way that feels more achievable for them,” he said.
