Can you soak your feet while doing postpartum care?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

During the postpartum period, you should avoid wind and cold water. No one says you can't get wet during postpartum, right? Actually, it's okay to soak your feet in hot water, but you can't soak them for too long. If the water feels a bit cool, quickly take them out and make sure to dry your feet thoroughly!
