Although mothers can use the confinement period to recuperate after giving birth, because they need to take care of the newborn day and night, the body is very sensitive, and they often experience discomfort symptoms such as back pain.

The best time to take a bath after giving birth

It is best not to take a bath within a short period of time after delivery, because you are afraid of wound infection at this time. If treatment is really needed, it will take at least a month. After the mother has finished her confinement, taking a bath and sweating can cure various gynecological diseases caused by catching a cold during the confinement period, such as fever, headache, back pain, limb weakness, joint pain and numbness, congestion after childbirth, abdominal pain, etc. Bathing is considered to be a very effective way to maintain health, but bathing also has taboo symptoms. For postpartum women, it is better not to take a bubble bath in this situation.

42 days after giving birth, if the lochia has been completely discharged and the mother's cesarean section wound has healed well, you can take a bubble bath. Taking a bubble bath after giving birth can relieve emotions and dredge meridians. It can not only ensure the stability of the endocrine system and the harmony of various functions of the human body, but also regulate metabolism and excrete various toxic substances out of the body.

Although bathing has many benefits, you should also pay attention to the selection of herbal medicines when taking a bubble bath. They must be suitable for your physical fitness and your own conditions. Otherwise, using the wrong herbal medicines can easily cause skin allergies, fungal infections and other diseases that affect your health. The bubble bath time should not be too long, otherwise you will feel dizzy and weak when you leave the bathtub.

Mothers should also pay attention to not taking a bubble bath within 30 minutes before or after a meal, because taking a bubble bath on an empty stomach is very likely to cause hypoglycemia, and taking a bubble bath after a meal will cause the blood vessels on the surface of the body to be stimulated by hot water and dilate, and the reduced blood supply to the digestive tract will reduce gastric juice secretion and reduce the function of the digestive system, thus affecting the digestion and absorption of food. Because the mother has just come out of confinement and her body is still in the recovery period, it is not suitable for her to take a bubble bath alone. It is best to have a family member or friend accompany her.
