Do you need to buy postpartum socks?

Patient's question:

I'm going to have my baby next month. I've already bought all the postpartum clothing, just need the postpartum socks. Do I really need to buy postpartum socks?

Doctor's answer:

Many people don't understand what maternity socks are. In fact, they are a type of sock, with some minor differences from ordinary socks. Maternity socks are generally looser than regular socks, and the material is mostly pure cotton and sweat-absorbent, which can make the more comfortable. Traditional Chinese medicine teaches that cold rises from the soles of the feet. During the postpartum period, it is still recommended that buy two pairs of maternity socks to alternate wearing them in order to avoid the invasion of cold.
