Patient's question:
Should you wear a postpartum hat while sleeping? In fact, what is the purpose of wearing a hat during the postpartum period? What will happen if you don't wear one?Doctor's answer:
When resting during the postpartum period, there is no need to wear a hat at night. However, during the day, it is better for the mother to wear a hat because the windows and doors need to be opened to maintain ventilation. This can lead to strong indoor air currents. If the mother does not wear a hat, she may catch a cold and experience a headache. Especially in the summer, some mothers turn on air conditioners. If the air from the air conditioner blows directly on her, she is more likely to catch a cold. Therefore, it is advisable for the mother to wear a hat during the day.
