Body odor is a relatively common condition. It is usually caused by congenital reasons. It may be caused by the significantly developed sebaceous glands in the armpits. If symptoms of body odor appear, pay more attention to the cleaning of the armpits to avoid serious complications. Treatment of body odor often has very good results. If women develop body odor during breastfeeding, they may feel very embarrassed. Can I breastfeed if I have body odor during breastfeeding? Can you breastfeed if you have body odor during breastfeeding? What to do with body odor during breastfeeding Tip 1: Shaving armpit hair If the hair under the armpits is dense, it needs to be shaved regularly during breastfeeding. This can keep the armpits fresh and improve breathability. The second trick: wash with warm water every 2 hours Armpit body odor is mainly caused by the release of germs and bacteria when they dissolve in sweat. Since it cannot be suppressed by drugs, the only way to reduce the growth of germs and bacteria under the armpits is to eliminate sweat immediately. Tip 3: Wash your underwear frequently When the temperature is hot, the sweat under the armpits will stick to the clothes, which is also very easy to release body odor. Therefore, even if you don't take a bath, it is best for breastfeeding mothers to change their underwear 2-3 times a day to relieve body odor. Tip 4: White vinegar sterilization After feeding your baby in the morning, noon and evening every day, wash the armpits with white rice vinegar water (the ratio of vinegar to water is 1:5) for 1 minute, wait for 5-10 minutes, clean it with warm water, and wipe off the water with a dry cotton towel. White rice vinegar has a bactericidal effect. It can reduce the number of germs and bacteria under the armpits and is harmless to the human body. However, it must be rinsed immediately after cleaning to prevent the baby from swallowing it accidentally. The fifth trick: Garlic water sterilization Garlic water has the same effect as white rice vinegar, both of which can remove bacteria and inhibit body odor. Mash the garlic to extract the juice, rub it under the armpits for 5-10 minutes, and then wash it off. |
