What should be placed on the bed during confinement in summer?

Women need to rest after giving birth, which is also called confinement. They need to rest for about a month. After giving birth, women's bodies are in a very weak state, and their body resistance will easily become very poor, making them vulnerable to invasion of dampness and cold. The mattress for mothers to rest in bed is also very important. In summer, you can choose a cotton mattress with good breathability, and do not use a cool mat.

What should be placed on the bed during confinement in summer?

After pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body will automatically secrete a kind of relaxin. Dampness and cold can easily invade the body and cause joint pain. Generally, the metabolic cycle of relaxin in the body is one hundred days. After metabolism, the body's joints will slowly close. If the dampness and cold are not discharged from the body, they will be retained in the joints and cause postpartum disease. In severe cases, it will also leave a root of disease. Generally, the cooling mats used in summer are relatively cool, and the body joints that come into direct contact with the cooling mats are prone to catching cold.

What is the best bed for confinement in summer?

The weather is hot in summer, but don't use a cool mat easily. You can remove the thick cotton mattress and get a thin, slightly harder breathable mattress, and put a thin cotton sheet with good sweat absorption on it. It is convenient to change and wash it during the confinement period as you sweat a lot. When the weather is hot, you can turn on the air conditioner and adjust the room temperature to 25-28 degrees. It won’t be too hot even if you put on a thin sheet. Note that the air conditioner temperature should not be set too low, and the air outlet should not blow directly at the mother, as it is easy to catch a cold. Keep the indoor air circulating, and when you sweat a lot, you can wipe the sweat with a towel or wash your face. Even though the weather is very hot, you should still insist on wearing long-sleeved confinement clothes to protect your joints from getting cold.

Most of the time during the confinement period is spent in bed, and the mother only pays attention to the environment in the bed. In fact, the temperature of the whole room is very important and can affect the mood of the mother. Putting a basin of cold water in the room can also help cool down. Waterproofing can also make the indoor air moist and have a good moisturizing effect. It should be noted that the cold water should be replaced regularly to achieve better moisturizing and cooling effects.

During the summer confinement period, the temperature and humidity in the room must be appropriate, and the room must be ventilated frequently. The indoor humidity should be kept at around 50%, and the air conditioner's dehumidification function can be used if necessary. When the room temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, the mother will feel more comfortable. In addition, you should drink some brown sugar water appropriately to promote the supplement of iron. Brown sugar also contains trace elements, which are very helpful in promoting the discharge of postpartum lochia. In terms of diet, you should gradually transition from liquid food.
