How to take care of the baby after caesarean section in summer

We all know that many women do not like to give birth in the summer, because the weather is very hot in summer and they can neither wash their hair nor take a bath. They have to stay in a very hot room. After a month of confinement, they will feel sticky all over and very uncomfortable. But there are always some babies who choose to be born in the summer. So how should women who have a caesarean section in the summer take care of themselves? Below I will introduce to you

1. Bacteria are easy to breed in summer, so you should clean your body in time

Many mothers are still reluctant to take a bath during the confinement period. There will be a lot of sweating during the delivery process and after delivery. If you don’t take a bath in this season, it is easy for bacteria to grow on the body. Mothers also have to come into contact with the baby frequently, so not taking a bath is not good either. Mothers who gave birth naturally can take a bath with boiled water on the third day after delivery. Mothers who gave birth by caesarean section have a slower wound healing process and can wait a week before taking a bath. They can wipe their bodies with a towel at other times. After delivery, lochia is discharged and the perineum needs to be cleaned every day.

After delivery, blood, necrotic decidual tissue, mucus, etc. will be discharged through the vagina. In addition to cleaning the perineum every day, the mother must also change sanitary napkins frequently. This sanitary napkin is specially designed for postpartum women. It has a soft cotton surface and excellent moisture absorption and breathability, making it very suitable for use in summer.

2. When the weather is hot, avoid eating raw or cold food.

When the temperature is high, it is easy for postpartum mothers to lose their appetite. If they are greedy for some cold drinks or cold dishes, it will not only easily cause gastrointestinal diseases, but also leave roots of disease in the stomach, and the milk secretion of breastfeeding mothers will also be affected.

You can drink some brown sugar water within 10 days after delivery. It can not only replenish qi and blood, but also promote metabolism, facilitate the discharge of lochia, and help the body recover better. It is not advisable to drink brown sugar for too long, 7-10 days is generally recommended. This Laotangzi brown sugar block is made using traditional methods and has a very pure taste.

3. The temperature in the air-conditioned room should not be too low, and ventilation should be done in time.

Because the skin's excretion function is strong after delivery and a large amount of sweat is excreted, the mother's sweating will increase, which is more obvious when she wakes up at night. This sweating condition will generally improve on its own within one week after delivery and does not require special treatment. During the confinement period in summer, mothers should wear more sweat-absorbent cotton clothes and avoid wearing too thick clothes to prevent heatstroke. However, mothers should not adjust the air-conditioning temperature too low because of sweating, or point the fan or air-conditioning outlet directly towards themselves, so as to avoid catching a cold. If you stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time, you should open the windows in time to ventilate the room and keep fresh air circulating.

Although you will sweat a lot after giving birth, you cannot wear too cool clothes, especially when staying in an air-conditioned room. You can choose this pure cotton confinement clothes, which has long sleeves and long pants. The fabric is of moderate thickness and is cut very loosely. It is very comfortable to wear and has a breastfeeding mouth design, which makes breastfeeding very convenient.

Mothers who are afraid of heat can also choose this confinement clothing made of thin fabric. It is made of gauze and is very breathable, so you won’t feel stuffy when wearing it in summer. It is also soft and comfortable to the touch. It is designed specifically for postpartum mothers and is very convenient for breastfeeding at home.

4. Do not take excessive supplements after childbirth

During the summer confinement period, you should not eat too greasy food to avoid affecting your appetite. If a mother drinks high-fat thick soup and consumes too much tonic, it will not only easily lead to obesity, but also affect the quality of the mother's breast milk. If the fat content of the breast milk is too high, the baby is likely to suffer from fatty diarrhea.

5. Don’t use cold water to brush your teeth even in hot weather

Cold water is too cold and will irritate the gums. During the confinement period, the teeth are very fragile. It is recommended to use warm water when rinsing your mouth or brushing your teeth. This can protect your teeth and avoid any oral diseases in the future.

It is necessary to brush your teeth during the confinement period. This soft-bristled toothbrush is very suitable for postpartum mothers. The soft silicone brush head can gently solve the problem of oral cleaning without hurting the gums.

If postpartum mothers want to have a good confinement period in this season, they must pay more attention to the above points. Don’t think that the hot weather will not cool your body. At this time, you should be more alert to the danger of catching a cold. Don’t leave a root of disease. It will be bad if your physical condition deteriorates after giving birth.
