Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long after a natural birth can I sit and feed the baby?Doctor's answer:
Due to the pressure from sitting upright compressing the perineal episiotomy wound and lying down causing the baby to spit up milk, it is recommended to feed the baby in a semi-recumbent position. This can avoid compressing the episiotomy wound while ensuring the baby's correct feeding posture and preventing spitting up. As the pregnancy progresses, the need for a bladder retention check becomes less accurate, so there is no need to worry about this. During this period, avoid acidic, spicy, and greasy foods, enhance dietary nutrition, and get plenty of rest.
