After a woman gives birth to a child, her breasts will change to some extent, such as breast enlargement, milk production and sometimes even galactorrhea. In order to avoid embarrassment, women need to wear underwear during lactation to avoid embarrassment during lactation, so what kind of underwear should women wear?

1, breast-feeding bra purchase

First, the bra should be convenient to place the chest pad. From the late pregnancy to postpartum breastfeeding, breasts may overflow, and many pregnant women or mothers will use breast pads to absorb the spilled milk. In order to facilitate the placement and fixation of breast pads, many special maternity bras will set pockets and auxiliary belts in the cups.

Second, pay attention to the design of breastfeeding opening. The breast-feeding opening design of the cup not only increases the added value of the bra, but also prolongs the wearing period from pregnancy to breast-feeding. If the baby is hungry, it is very convenient to hold the baby with one hand and unbutton the button with the other when you are ready to feed. According to different designs, it can be divided into the following types:

(1) Full-open feeding port-It is characterized in that the cup is only hooked on the shoulder strap with adhesive tape, and the cup can be completely opened downward to expose the whole breast during feeding.

(2) Open-hole feeding port-It is characterized in that when the cup is lifted, only the nipple, areola and its surroundings are exposed, which is highly shielded.

(3) Front button bra or casual bra-It is characterized in that the button of the bra is hooked in front, which is convenient for unbuttoning the bra with one hand. This bra can be worn at home or when sleeping. Its support is usually worse than the bra above, but it is more comfortable. When worn at home, you can relax and rest your breasts.

Third, the angle of the cup is obviously rising and deep, which should be 4/4 full cups, preferably thin and elastic cotton knitted fabric.

Fourth, the bottom edge of the cup is lined with steel wire, which can give the breast an upward lifting force. The steel plate is wrapped in pure cotton fabric.

Fifth, the bra's shoulder straps should be vertical and wider, so as not to cause shoulder pain because of the fullness of the chest.

Sixth, the bottom of the cup should be wide, and the elastic fabric (cotton and lycra) should be used, and the size should be slightly larger, so that the armpit and back will not form a meat groove.

Seven, the color of the bra should choose this white, because pure white contains bleach, which will make the skin uncomfortable and bad for the baby's health.

Eight, after breastfeeding, use a body-shaping bra. During pregnancy, because the ligaments supporting the breasts are stretched, the breasts droop a little, so you can wear a special bra for postpartum body shaping. This bra should be used at the end of lactation, when the chest pain disappears and the breasts droop, which can effectively support the breasts. If the bra is properly worn, it can also cause the effect of fat displacement and play a role in shaping the chest. However, you must be careful when wearing this kind of body-shaping underwear. If you feel uncomfortable, please stop using it immediately and consult your doctor before deciding whether to continue using it.

2, maternal clothing choice

What should the parturient pay attention to when confinement? The traditional saying of "covering one's ears and stealing bells" is actually unscientific. The new mother's postpartum constitution is weak, especially during confinement, and the maternal clothes should be appropriately increased or decreased with the climate change, based on the principle of generosity, softness and comfort, cleanliness and hygiene, and moderate warmth.

Six principles for new mothers to dress in confinement:

(1) Pay attention to the texture of clothes.

Maternity should choose cotton, hemp, wool, silk, down and other products, because these pure natural materials are soft, comfortable, breathable, hygroscopic and warm. Underwear and underwear are suitable for wearing cotton fabrics with strong water absorption, and coats and trousers should be loose and soft, which is easy to dissipate heat.

(2) the clothes should be wide

Some young mothers, afraid of getting fat and changing their figure after giving birth, want to cover their fat bodies with thin clothes, so they wear tights and jeans to tighten their chests and abdomen. This kind of clothing is not conducive to smooth blood flow, especially breast compression, which is easy to suffer from mastitis. Therefore, maternity clothes should be generous, and it is best to move freely. For lactating women, it is not only convenient for breastfeeding, but also civilized and elegant. More importantly, it can protect their mothers from the cold in autumn and winter. It would be more practical to add a sweater with two pockets on the chest.

(3) The clothing thickness should be moderate.

Clothes should be increased or decreased according to the temperature changes in the four seasons. It is not advisable to wear trousers, long-sleeved clothes or Baotou in summer. Even in winter, as long as there is no air leakage in the house, there is no need to wear a Baotou or a hat. Cover your head properly when you go out, but don't wrap it too tightly. In winter, the bedding should be properly thickened and often aired to make it warm and comfortable.

(4) Clothes should be frequently changed, washed and dried.

Maternal metabolism is vigorous, postpartum sweat is abundant, and milk often overflows and pollutes clothes. After drying, the clothes become hard and scratch the nipples. In addition, lochia is constantly discharged from women's private parts, and underwear is often dirty, even contaminated by clothes, which is easy to cause bacterial reproduction, cause various infections, and endanger maternal and child health. Therefore, maternal clothes should be frequently changed, washed and dried to prevent diseases.

(5) Shoes should be soft.

It is best to choose soft cloth shoes in the next month. Don't wear hard-soled shoes, and it is not advisable to wear high-heeled shoes, in case of sole, heel pain or abdominal pain in the future. In addition, women should not go barefoot after giving birth, barefoot is easy to catch cold, which is harmful to health.

(6) Wear a proper bra

Some mothers neglect breast care in the second trimester and don't wear bras for convenience. In fact, this is very unscientific. First of all, for the sake of baby's health, mothers should keep their breasts clean and hygienic. Secondly, during lactation, the breasts are fuller than usual. Wearing a bra is conducive to supporting the breast, otherwise the breast will droop to both sides and the breast skin will lose its original elasticity. Maternal women should wear a cotton absorbent bra with a suitable window structure during lactation to support their breasts and breastfeed. Otherwise, bilateral breasts droop and the breast skin loses its original elasticity, which not only affects the blood circulation of the breast, but also affects the secretion of milk, and it is difficult to restore the original shape of the breast, thus losing its beautiful posture.
