How to do confinement during the dog days

With the arrival of hot summer weather, many new mothers will feel that giving birth in the summer is a torture, especially during the confinement period, which is really a torture. Especially when the family follows the traditional "confinement" method, which requires new mothers not to wash their hair, take a bath, walk around, or blow dry their hair during this month, many new mothers cannot stand it. So, how to do confinement during the dog days of summer?

1. Prevent heat stroke

During the dog days of summer, temperature is the biggest challenge for confinement. The temperature is very high in summer. Although pregnant mothers do not need to wrap themselves in a headscarf or wrap themselves heavily, they still need to wear loose, cool long-sleeved shirts and trousers, and wear socks to keep out the cold. This is already a little more than what other people wear. At this time, they should pay attention to the ventilation of the home and avoid being in a high temperature and stuffy environment to prevent new mothers from getting heatstroke.

2. Pay attention to your diet

In order to ensure the new mother's confinement and adequate and sound sleep, you need to pay more attention to your diet. You should eat nutritious and easily digestible food. At the same time, you should drink more water. Because the weather is relatively hot, the vegetables mentioned in August are also indispensable foods for new mothers during confinement. Fruits and vegetables are rich in various vitamins and minerals needed by the human body. Compared with other foods, fruits and vegetables also contain some natural substances, which can also enhance mothers' appetite. Eliminate their fatigue and also enhance the body's ability to fight infection.

3. Be careful when catching a cold

Avoid catching a cold during the confinement period because the temperature is relatively high and the weather is hot and humid, and it is easy to sweat. Then be sure to wipe it clean with a towel, then change into drier clothes. Try to blow your hair dry when washing it to prevent your head from catching a cold. Also, dry it with a dry towel immediately after taking a shower. Because the mother's body is weak, you must not let the pregnant mother catch a cold during the confinement period. When sleeping at night, wear long cotton clothes, long pants and thin socks. Most importantly, cover your stomach to prevent catching a cold.
