When can I take a shower after giving birth?

I believe that female friends will consider the confinement period from the time they are pregnant. The elderly have always prevented mothers from taking a bath or brushing their teeth during the confinement period. However, this will breed bacteria from the body's metabolic products and oral hygiene will not be guaranteed, which is still very troublesome for mothers. In fact, you can take a bath during the confinement period, but there are many precautions. So how often can you take a bath after giving birth?

You can take a bath during the confinement period, but it is impossible to take a bath throughout the entire period. If you have a normal delivery, you usually have to take a bath after three days, and if you have a caesarean section, it is best to take a bath after half a month. You can decide whether to take a bath every day according to your body's recovery and weather conditions. You cannot use raw water to wash, but warm boiled water. Do not bathe for too long. Dry yourself immediately after washing and avoid being blown by the wind.

A new mother's body is in a state of excessive "catabolism" after childbirth. In addition to frequent profuse sweating, lochia is constantly discharged, and coupled with postpartum lactation, the mixture of multiple fluids will emit a very unpleasant odor. The issue of postpartum cleaning becomes urgent because it not only affects the health of new mothers, but also affects their mood.

Avoid taking a bath within two weeks. To avoid catching a cold, avoid taking a bath within two weeks after delivery. From the third week onwards, you can use sliced ​​ginger + boiled water for shower, but the bathing time should not be too long. A room temperature of 20 degrees and a water temperature of 34 to 36 degrees are most suitable, and the bathing time is about 10 minutes. After washing, dry your body quickly and put on clothes in time to avoid catching a cold. You can take a bath only after the full moon.

Do not blow wind, no matter it is hot wind or cold wind. After delivery, the pores of the whole body, including the pores of the scalp, are open. At this time, if there is wind, no matter it is hot wind or cold wind, the pores will shrink immediately, which can easily cause postpartum muscle and bone pain, headache, head wind, and even cold. The room must be ventilated to keep the air fresh, but be careful not to allow drafts.

Through the above introduction, everyone is clear about how often they can take a bath after giving birth. Mothers all hope to have confinement in a scientific way, which will not affect their own health or hinder the development of the child, and they can also be comfortable and free from trouble. We must have a correct understanding of the issue of bathing.
