During confinement, with the increase of milk secretion, the maternal breast will be further filled and swollen. If you don't wear a bra during confinement, the breasts are prone to breast swelling and pain, broken skin, milk overflow and other phenomena due to collision, friction, extrusion and other actions, which may easily lead to nipple inflammation and bacterial growth, which is unfavorable to the healthy development of breasts.
During confinement, it is necessary for the parturient to wear a bra, but the bra worn during confinement is not an ordinary bra, but a special breast-feeding bra for the parturient. This kind of bra has more advantages than ordinary bra in comfort and health, so it is a wise choice to wear a bra during confinement in order to ensure breast hygiene.
Wearing a bra in confinement has other functions besides health and hygiene.
1, increase the stability of the chest and support the chest. One of the most obvious functions of wearing a bra in confinement is to stably support the chest, thus protecting the breast and avoiding the sagging of the breast because there is no object to support it under the conditions of gravity walking and sports.
2, protect the breast from being scratched. If you just wear a coat instead of a bra during confinement, it is easy to rub your breasts, especially your nipples. Under long-term friction, nipples may break skin and cause abrasions, which is very unfavorable for postpartum breastfeeding. Wearing a bra, especially a nursing bra, can prevent the nipple from rubbing against the jacket, and the fabric on the inner side of the nursing bra is very soft, which will not cause direct damage to the nipple.
Not only can you wear underwear, but there are many benefits to wearing underwear in the month. However, when confinement, milk is easy to flow out, and underwear must be changed frequently. In addition, the nipple should be scrubbed with warm water to avoid mastitis caused by bacteria or gastrointestinal discomfort to children.
