1. Common questions about confinement

Can I wash my hair during the confinement period? Can I take a bath during the confinement period? Can I go out and enjoy the fresh air during the confinement period? Are there any special requirements for diet during the confinement period? Can I lose weight during the confinement period? Can I use my eyes, watch TV, or surf the Internet during the confinement period? Can I see my vulva clearly during the confinement period? These are all common questions about confinement period. Let the editor answer them one by one for you.

1. Can you wash your hair or take a bath? As long as you blow dry your hair or take a bath immediately or keep warm, moderate cleaning is beneficial to both parents and children.

2. Can you get some fresh air or go out? It is recommended that mothers do not go out in bad weather conditions, especially in winter. If it is summer and you want to use air conditioning or electric fans, please keep the indoor temperature between 26 and 28 degrees, and the air outlet should not be facing the mother.

3. Don’t cry during confinement? This statement makes sense. A mother's hormone levels drop sharply after childbirth, her wounds have not yet healed, and she may encounter setbacks in breastfeeding and not know how to take care of her newborn, which can make her prone to depression.

4. Can salt be added to the diet? It is fine to consume a moderate amount of salt, and it can also increase the mother's appetite, but if it is consumed in excess, it can easily cause a burden on the kidneys and electrolyte imbalance in the body.

5. Can I lose weight? After giving birth, a woman's body is in its weakest state and needs to fully recover. At the same time, she has to breastfeed frequently and raise children during the confinement period, which consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, no matter what, do not try to lose weight and restore your body in any way during the confinement period, as doing so will seriously harm your body. However, it should be noted that you should not consume too many high-fat, high-sugar, and high-calorie supplements during the confinement period, as this will increase the burden of weight loss in the future.

6. Can I watch TV? You can read books and watch TV during the confinement period, but not for too long.

7. Can I access the Internet? For young pregnant women, they should try to reduce the time and frequency of Internet access during the confinement period. If there is no urgent matter that needs to be handled through the Internet, they should try to stay away from computers and electromagnetic radiation.

8. Can you clean your vulva? In order to prevent postpartum infection, you should clean your private parts frequently during the confinement period. Keep the vulva clean and replace clean perineal pads or sanitary napkins and underwear in time to prevent infection.
