When it comes to whether you can take a bath during the month, I believe that many mothers who have experienced the confinement will have their own experience.
Some mothers have to stay up for a month without bathing, and some mothers take a bath a few days after giving birth to the baby, then:
Is there a big difference between a mother who bathes during the confinement period and a mother who does not bathe after a month?
I once saw Xiao S in a program talk about an experience in his month.
She is a more traditional woman who will follow some of the requirements of her elders during the month, she can not bathe for a long time, and she can endure the state of not bathing. And now she is already a mother of 3 children, slim and thin, she said, I don't know if it is more attention in the month, and then the body recovers very well.
Yuan Yongyi also said that she had taken a bath during the month.
But she also paid attention to blow drying her hair, at first she thought that there was nothing wrong, but she still felt that after giving birth to the baby, her body was not as good as before, and she felt that it was likely that the confinement was not sitting well and did not pay attention to the details.
★ During the month, women have to experience these things
Just after giving birth to the baby, although the pressure is lifted, seeing the baby, the mothers will be very happy, but they are facing changes in all aspects of the body, so the confinement often needs a good rest.
In the early stages of confinement, pregnant women will be accompanied by the elimination of lochia, as well as the secretion of sweat and the smell of milk leakage, if they do not take a bath for a few days, women will really not be able to stand it. And it will also be easy to secrete sweat, so that the skin on the body is sticky, its own health conditions are poor, it is easier to breed bacteria, causing infection.
However, when some elders take care of the confinement, they will always say "you can't take a bath during the month, you can't brush your teeth, you can't walk on the ground, you can't ...", so many young mothers will be very confused:
Are there really so many taboos in the confinement?
I really can't stand not taking a bath.
★ So, why does the old man say that Yuezi can't take a bath?
This saying is passed down from the older generation, and since it has been handed down, it will have a certain truth.
In ancient times, people's living conditions were not as good as they are now, bathing was not convenient, and there was no heating equipment such as heating, small sun, and hair dryer. Therefore, the mother who has just given birth to the baby, due to the weakness of the body, poor resistance, if you want to take a bath, it is very inconvenient, it is easy to fan the wind and catch a cold, so the old people often say that the confinement can not take a bath.
But now our living conditions are better, we can control the temperature, there are all kinds of warm equipment.
Therefore, if you are careful, it is still okay to wash it once in a month. Of course, when taking a bath, you still can't take it lightly, after all, you have just given birth, your body has not fully recovered, and it is easy to cause infection if you do not pay attention.
★ What aspects do I need to pay attention to when bathing during the month?
Bath time
Generally speaking, if the recovery is good, it can be simply rinsed more than 3 days after giving birth;
Due to the reason of the knife edge, the mother should consider bathing after 7 days to see the recovery of the knife edge and avoid contact with water and cause infection.
The best bath is at noon, when the temperature at home is relatively high, and the temperature difference after taking a bath will not be too large, and it is not easy to catch a cold.
Water greenhouse temperature
Before taking a bath, adjust the bathroom room temperature to the most comfortable temperature:
●Generally around 26 degrees is more comfortable, the water temperature is controlled at about 37 degrees, warm can be.
If it is summer, due to the hot weather, the mother itself is also prone to sweating, so when taking a bath, some women often want to take a shower, and the water temperature is adjusted to a little low, in fact, this is not advisable.
This is easy to be stimulated by the cold air, so that the body is cold, which may cause rheumatic diseases or joints and other physical discomfort, once the root of the disease can be recovered.
Bathing style
●It is recommended to take a shower and avoid the tub bath.
Because it is difficult to ensure the cleanliness of the bath, due to the accumulation of secretions, the non-flowing water is also prone to breed bacteria. Because the maternal resistance itself is relatively low, it is easy to be invaded by bacteria, once the bath water is not hygienic, the bath basin is not clean, it is easy to infect.
Be accompanied by family
Maternity bathing, regardless of whether the temperature is appropriate, whether the bathroom is clean, how the recovery is, it is best to have a family by the side.
Because the mother's body is relatively weak, it is easy to have some unexpected situations when taking a bath, and there will also be some bathing actions that cannot be completed independently.
Therefore, the husband's companionship or his mother helping him take a bath can also shorten the bath time and reduce the possibility of uncertainty factors.
Matters after washing
After taking a shower, dry your body, blow dry your hair, and change into comfortable and clean clothes.
It is best to wear a thin hat and a coat to avoid suddenly coming out of the hot bathroom and blowing in the cool air.
★ Special circumstances need to be noted
Some mothers who have a normal birth may have tears or side cuts, and an infection has occurred, so the bath time should be pushed back accordingly.
Some caesarean section mothers, the knife edge recovery is relatively slow, or there is a purulent situation, then when bathing, you should pay attention to, you can paste a waterproof patch on the knife edge, to avoid the knife edge contact with water, the occurrence of secondary infection.
Although you can take a bath during the month, you still have to consider the recovery of your body to avoid affecting the health of your body, after all, health is the most important.
Spicy Mom Quotes:
Although the living conditions are good now and it is convenient to take a bath, we still have to pay attention to some details to prevent infection or cold. However, pregnant women do not necessarily have to endure a month without bathing, according to their recovery, proper rinsing is still OK.
We must improve some of the traditional sayings and turn them into ways that are more acceptable to us in modern times, so that we can recover faster and better.
