What should you pay attention to during confinement in June

The weather in June is very hot, so many women who are planning to get pregnant want to miss this period because they find it very uncomfortable to have confinement in June. Some mothers who have just given birth in June will wear shorts and short sleeves, which is very wrong. Although the weather is hot, necessary protective measures still need to be taken, such as wearing long clothes and long sleeves, a confinement hat, and socks to prevent catching a cold. It is appropriate to wear loose and sweat-absorbent clothes. This article introduces the things you should pay attention to during confinement in June. Let’s take a look.

1. What to wear during confinement in June?

During the confinement period, you usually have to wear long-sleeved clothes, long pants, confinement hats and socks. But do you still need to wear them when the weather is so hot in June? The answer is yes. Although it is very hot in June, you can't just wear short-sleeved clothes and walk around the house barefoot.

The weather is hot in June, and air conditioners and fans are turned on at home. In order to prevent mothers from being accidentally blown by the wind, postpartum mothers should wear loose, pure cotton, sweat-absorbent long clothes and pants, comfortable and light confinement hats and thin socks.

2. Things to note when you are confined in June

1. Personal hygiene

What you need to pay attention to in personal hygiene during the confinement period are: washing your hair, taking a bath, and brushing your teeth. The traditional customs of confinement are all prohibited. Today's living conditions are different from before, so some old customs are no longer applicable.

In summer, the mother will smell of sweat, milk and lochia, and these smells will also float in the room. The mother should wash her hair and take a bath in time, change clothes frequently, and clean the room regularly.

Mothers who give birth naturally will have perineal incisions, and mothers who give birth by caesarean section will also have wounds on their abdomens. Proper cleaning and care of the wounds will help them heal as quickly as possible.

2. Diet

In summer, postpartum meals are greasy and mothers often suffer from loss of appetite. However, they are also forbidden to eat spicy food and drink iced drinks. The gastrointestinal system has not yet fully recovered after childbirth, and cold or spicy food will affect gastrointestinal health.

The diet during the confinement period is mainly warm and nourishing, and the early postpartum period is mainly light, nutritious and easily digestible food. When the fruit is just taken out of the refrigerator, the mother should not eat it immediately. She should soak it in warm water before eating.

3. Exercise and rest

Mothers who are in confinement during the dog days should not engage in excessive activity, sit, stand or squat for long periods of time, try not to over-fatigue, and ensure 8-10 hours of sleep per day. In addition, keep a happy mood every day and don't get angry, which is conducive to your body's recovery.
