What should I pay attention to during confinement in summer?

Although scientific confinement is advocated now, it does not mean that some of the preventive measures mentioned by the elderly are wrong. On the contrary, these precautions are small details that are easy to overlook, but they are very important, which can be said to be the experience of many people. The custom of confinement has been passed down from generation to generation. If you do not follow it, you will still suffer in the future. So, what should you pay attention to when you are doing confinement in summer?

First: Wear socks during confinement

It is extremely hot in the summer, and many people are reluctant to wear socks. Some homes have wooden floors, and even new mothers will walk on them barefoot, which is actually not good. Everyone knows that cold starts from the feet, so it is very important for mothers to wear socks during the confinement period to avoid coldness. They must also wear confinement shoes with heels to avoid heel pain and confinement diseases.

Second: Don’t squat on the toilet during confinement

You should not squat on the toilet during confinement because the pelvic floor muscles have not recovered well and cannot provide good support for the internal organs. More importantly, squatting on the toilet can easily cause hemorrhoids. It is better to use a sit-down toilet, after all, it can provide a certain degree of support. So mothers should not think that the elderly are meddling in their affairs. In fact, it is for your own good and will help you avoid future suffering.

Third: Don’t touch cold water

Elderly people often say that touching cold water during confinement will cause postpartum disease, which will make the body feel uncomfortable and the joints painful. Mothers must keep this in mind. This is because the mother herself suffers from a loss of qi and blood during the confinement period. At the same time, the pores and bone joints are open. Touching cold water is comfortable in summer, but the cold air has entered the body at this time and it is difficult to expel it. Therefore, the mother must pay more attention and use hot water even when washing hands.

It is often said that if you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer. Some practices are indeed traditional, but some practices are based on the experience of the elderly. After all, they are still very useful and can prevent you from suffering.
