Can I sleep on a cool mat during confinement in summer?

If your newborn is born in summer, the mother will have to stay in confinement during the summer. However, facing the hot summer, how should mothers deal with the problem of high temperature? Some people think that confinement means staying in an almost airtight environment and not touching anything that contains "cold". In fact, it is wrong. In fact, it is not recommended for mothers who are in confinement after childbirth to sleep on mats in the summer. If the temperature is too high, you can use the air conditioner to control the room temperature at 25-28 degrees Celsius, but be careful not to place pregnant women directly under the air conditioner, and also wear breathable sportswear.

If you really want to choose a mat, it is recommended not to choose a bamboo mat that feels very cool. You can choose linen or silk. At the same time, you should also avoid colored bamboo mats that may have adverse effects on the baby.
