=Exercise.=—Exercise should be moderate. Light work about the home may be encouraged, care being had to avoid over-lifting, over-reaching, etc. Walking should be insisted upon, to maintain correct carriage and posture of the body. Outdoor enjoyments may be had if indulged in with discretion. Tiredness may be overcome by the patient lying down on an incline, the head lower than the body, thereby relieving all tension of the muscles and nerves. Any recumbent position for comfort is beneficial. =Breasts and Nipples.=—Plenty of room should be given to permit full growth and to encourage the nipples to prominence. Their inversion or depression may be remedied by massage and manipulation. No alcohol or other strongly astringent washes should be used. The nipples must not be hardened, but should be kept soft and pliable; cocoa-butter or other healing ointments may be applied. Cracks and fissures not only render nursing difficult or impossible, but may lead to mastitis and subsequent abscess formations. There should be perfect cleanliness, to promote pure secretion and prevent sepsis. =Pelvic Organs.=—Pelvic organs do not, under normal conditions, require douches. The normal vagina cleanses itself, and a hot douche may induce abortion. LYING-IN PERIOD. =Confinement Room.=—A quiet room should be selected, in which there has been no recent sickness and which is not in proximity to any sewerage. The room should be well ventilated, with no draughts, and at a temperature from 65°-75° F. The furnishings should be plain and few as possible. They should consist of a table or two, a few chairs, and a narrow iron bed of medium height. If the bedspring is soft, a few boards may be placed under it to make it firm. If the patient is to be delivered in bed, it should be made up as follows: (1) Long rubber sheet; (2) long muslin sheet; (3) rubber draw-sheet; (4) muslin draw-sheet; (5) a large pad, 3 ft. square and 3 in. thick. All sheets should be fastened with large safety-pins, and the pad left free to draw the patient to either side, if the bed is of the low-and-wide variety commonly used in many homes. The ideal way is to deliver the patient on a settee, or on two tables, covered with a small mattress; the physicians and nurses have less work to do and they work to a better advantage. Moreover, when the patient is carried from the table to her clean, warm bed she gets immediate comfort and avoids the usual disturbance and uncleanliness attending the clearing away of soiled linen, etc.
