Is it okay to take a bath every day during the confinement period?

In real life, every woman will go through the process of giving birth. China also has the habit of confinement after childbirth, but is it possible to take a bath every day during the confinement period? This is a question that everyone is very worried about. In order to keep the body clean and hygienic, some people will take a bath every day during the confinement period. Is it good to take a bath every day during the confinement period? I believe everyone wants to know, so let’s take a look at the following content to find out.

1. During the "confinement period", the perineum of the mother will have more secretions, so the vulva should be cleaned with warm water every day. Change perineal pads frequently and keep the perineum clean and dry. The lochia will clear up in about 4 to 6 weeks after delivery.

2. Generally, you can take a bath and wash your hair one week after delivery, but you must stick to sponge baths and not take a tub bath to prevent dirty water from bathing from entering the reproductive tract and causing infection. You can shower after 6 weeks.

3. The room should be ventilated frequently. The indoor temperature should not be too high, nor should it fluctuate suddenly. In the past, it was often said that doors and windows should be closed tightly and mothers should be covered with thick blankets at all times. This is very dangerous, especially in summer, as it can easily cause heatstroke in mothers. But please note the following points:

① During the confinement period, avoid direct exposure to the fan.

② When turning on the air conditioner, do not point the air outlet towards the mother, and it is best to set the room temperature to around 25 to 28 degrees Celsius.

③ If your clothes get wet due to excessive sweating during the confinement period, you must change into dry clothes immediately; in winter, prepare a nightgown by the bed and put it on immediately when you get up in the middle of the night to breastfeed to avoid catching a cold.

4. During the period of confinement, mothers eat more frequently and eat more. If they do not pay attention to rinsing their mouths and brushing their teeth, it is easy for bacteria to multiply in their mouths and cause oral diseases. In the past, many women blindly believed in the "old rules" - they could not brush their teeth during the confinement period. As a result, one period of confinement ruined their teeth. Mothers should brush their teeth once or twice a day, and can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush gently. After each meal, you should rinse your mouth with warm water.

The above is some basic knowledge about whether it is good to take a bath every day during the confinement period. I believe you will have a certain understanding after reading it. Women can take a bath during the confinement period, but they must be careful not to catch a cold, keep warm, and keep their clothes clean and hygienic for their own health.
