Do you have to cover your hands and feet during confinement?

During the confinement period, hands and feet need to be covered. If not, they will easily be affected by wind and cold, which will increase the moisture in the mother's body and cause her to catch a cold and fever. Therefore, during the confinement period, you should pay attention to keeping your hands and feet warm, but you don't need to cover them too tightly to avoid sweating. Therefore, during the confinement period, proper warmth can help prevent the occurrence of postpartum diseases and improve the mother's body resistance.

During the confinement period, mothers do not need to cover their hands and feet completely when sleeping, and they do not need to cover them too tightly. The metabolism of a mother is very active after giving birth, especially in the first half month after delivery. She will sweat a lot, mainly to excrete excess water consumed during pregnancy. Therefore, she sweats a lot at this stage, especially after falling asleep. This situation is puerperal sweat, and the mother should not be covered too tightly, because covering too thickly will affect the metabolism of the skin and make it easy to get heatstroke. Therefore, the hands and feet can be left outside during the confinement period. As long as the temperature in the room is appropriate, the mother will not catch a cold. Also, you don’t need to wear too thick clothes. It is recommended to wear loose and comfortable clothes. Don’t wear particularly thick clothes, especially in summer.

What should you pay attention to during confinement?

1. Be sure to pay attention to rest and avoid overwork. Before the delivery wound has healed, it is best to rest in bed. You can get up and walk around occasionally to exercise your body, which is beneficial to postpartum recovery.

2. Prepare a belly belt and tie it tightly after delivery to prevent internal organs from sagging. Prolapse of internal organs will lead to gynecological diseases, protruding abdomen and ugly body shape. Wearing a belly band can also improve the condition of an obvious lower abdomen before childbirth. The abdominal band cannot be replaced by ordinary pants or abdominal belts. Because not only do they have no effect, they also have a counterproductive effect.

3. Use warm water to take a bath, do not take a cold bath, you can also use warm wine water to wipe the bath. The method is to boil half water and half rice wine, add a little salt, soak a towel in it, wring it dry, and rub it on your body. Those who give birth naturally can take a bath after one month.

4. You can wash your hair, but not with cold water. Blow it dry immediately after washing to avoid catching a cold.

5. Wash your face and brush your teeth frequently to keep your body clean. You can use skin care products.

6. There should be a quiet and comfortable environment. When the sunlight is too strong, draw the curtains to protect your eyes. If it is a hot summer, you can use air conditioning or a fan appropriately, but don't blow directly into the wind.
