Patient's question:
My child has been postpartum for less than 20 days, and my grandmother always insists on keeping her warm. After eating, if she sweats a bit, she is told to quickly get into the blankets and stay warm.Doctor's answer:
Many places have some customs where the room must be sealed tightly after a pregnant woman gives birth, fearing that she might catch a cold. The room is sealed very tightly, with poor air circulation and dirty indoor air, which is not good for the mother and baby. After giving birth, the mother's body is weak and she needs fresh air to quickly improve her condition and recover health. Newborns grow and develop rapidly after birth, not only needing sufficient nutrition but also a good environment. They should live in a fresh, well-ventilated, and clean environment, otherwise, they are also prone to catching colds, pneumonia, and other diseases, which hinders healthy growth.
