      1: It’s not that it can’t be washed, but how to wash it?

      During the confinement period, some people believe in the so-called sterilization theory of Western medicine and believe that the body must be kept highly clean, so they bathe every day, and the result is that they fall behind. Confinement disease . Some people go to the other extreme and use the words of traditional Chinese medicine to say that women Postpartum I couldn't take a shower for a month, and I would get sick as soon as I took a shower. Don't go to extremes. A mother cannot take a shower every day during her confinement period, but she doesn't have to do it once a month. She will be smelly every day, unhygienic, and so dirty that she can't feed her child. We can wash less and make some preparations for bathing.

      First of all, you must pay attention to the water temperature when taking a bath. Don't make it too cold. Take a bath with warm water. Especially in summer, don't be greedy for coolness and don't wash with cold water.
