Can I wear slippers during confinement?

People of different races have different physiques and genes. Most European and American women can move freely the next day after giving birth without too many restrictions. But for Asian women, in order to prevent the body from leaving any root of disease, they often need to sit in confinement for a period of time to avoid the occurrence of some postpartum complications. Keeping warm is one of the most important tasks during the confinement period, so can you wear slippers during the confinement period?

1. The harm of wearing slippers during confinement

You can wear slippers during the confinement period, but if you are confined in cold seasons, it is best to wear socks, otherwise you may suffer from heel pain. During the confinement period, you should pay attention to rest, avoid sitting or walking for a long time, avoid overusing your eyes, avoid eating raw or cold food, avoid eating spicy food, refrain from sexual intercourse for 42 days, and refrain from taking a bath in a tub for 42 days.

2. How to have a scientific confinement

1. Absolutely avoid sexual life

The female reproductive organs undergo the trauma of pregnancy and childbirth, and it takes some time for them to return to normal. It takes about two months for the mother's body to fully recover. It is best for mothers to start sexual life only after postpartum examination to determine that their bodies have fully recovered, and it is best to take contraceptive measures within one year after delivery to provide time for the uterus to fully recover.

2. Exercise properly

Persisting in necessary physical exercises during the confinement period and doing some postpartum gymnastics can help restore your physical condition and body shape.

3. Keep clean and hygienic

From the second day after delivery, the mother can comb her hair, brush her teeth and rinse her mouth as usual. Combing your hair will get your blood flowing and help to refresh yourself. If you have some problems with your gums, you can wrap your fingers with gauze and rinse your mouth first. This can promote blood circulation and strengthen teeth.

3. What shoes should I wear during confinement in summer?

1. You can choose flat shoes or sports shoes during the confinement period in the summer. And it should be noted that the joint ligaments have not recovered well after delivery, so try not to wear high-heeled shoes.

2. Loose and warm shoes. Even in summer, new mothers should not walk barefoot on the floor, and it is best to wear a pair of thin socks when wearing slippers. At night, it is best to wear slip-on shoes without laces, because most new mothers tend to get flustered when feeding at night or when the baby suddenly cries.

3. Anti-slip sole. New mothers are in a weaker body, so they need to be extra careful not to slip when walking, especially when holding a baby. Therefore, it is important to choose shoes with non-slip soles when you are confined in the summer.
