Can I take a bath every day after giving birth? What should I pay attention to?

Pregnant women need to stay in confinement after giving birth. The traditional confinement requirements are very strict. They are not allowed to take a bath or touch cold water. So can they take a bath every day after giving birth? In fact, current scientific confinement has relaxed the requirements for bathing. You can take a bath during the confinement period, but there is a time limit. For example, it is best not to take a bath within two weeks, and the time should not be too long.

A new mother's body is in a state of excessive "catabolism" after childbirth. In addition to frequent profuse sweating, lochia is constantly discharged, and coupled with postpartum lactation, the mixture of multiple fluids will emit a very unpleasant odor. The issue of postpartum cleaning becomes urgent because it not only affects the health of new mothers, but also affects their mood.

You can take a bath during the confinement period, but it is impossible to take a bath throughout the entire period. If you have a normal delivery, you usually have to take a bath after three days, and if you have a caesarean section, it is best to take a bath after half a month. You can decide whether to take a bath every day according to your body's recovery and weather conditions. You cannot use raw water to wash, but warm boiled water. Do not bathe for too long. Dry yourself immediately after washing and avoid being blown by the wind.

Avoid taking a bath within two weeks. To avoid catching a cold, avoid taking a bath within two weeks after delivery. From the third week onwards, you can use sliced ​​ginger + boiled water for shower, but the bathing time should not be too long. A room temperature of 20 degrees and a water temperature of 34 to 36 degrees are most suitable, and the bathing time is about 10 minutes. After washing, dry your body quickly and put on clothes in time to avoid catching a cold. You can take a bath only after the full moon.

For facial cleaning and care, no medicinal alcohol or salt is needed for washing the face and brushing the teeth, but warm water is needed. In order to prevent head wind and headache, cold water must not be used. The food eaten by postpartum women is mostly soft and fine, which has lost the self-cleaning function during chewing and is more likely to provide conditions for the formation of dental plaque, so postpartum women should brush their teeth as usual.

I believe everyone is clear about whether you can take a bath every day after giving birth. It is still very important to have a good confinement period so that the mother's body can return to normal as soon as possible and avoid the occurrence of some confinement diseases. Even if you want to take a bath, you must not catch a cold. It is important to keep warm and also pay attention to your own cleanliness and hygiene.
