Having a baby requires a lot of physical exertion and blood loss for the mother. Therefore, postpartum women should rest well, which can help their bodies recover earlier. Many mothers suffer from colds shortly after giving birth to their babies. So, why does the mother catch a cold after giving birth to the baby?
1. Because the mother's body is weaker than before, if not properly cared for, it is easy to catch a cold and may also suffer from other diseases. Therefore, postpartum women should rest well for a period of time to generally enhance their body's resistance to diseases.
2. After giving birth to a baby, postpartum women should sit in confinement and avoid blowing air. Some postpartum women have poor air circulation in their rooms, which can easily breed bacteria, making them prone to catching colds.
3. After childbirth, mothers need to breastfeed and change diapers for their babies, especially at night, so they do not rest well, which makes them weak and has poor immunity, making them prone to catching colds.
Pregnant women should rest well after catching a cold. If the cold is severe, medication treatment is necessary. However, mothers should not take medication indiscriminately, especially those who need to breastfeed. It should be noted that many medications can affect breast milk, which is not conducive to breastfeeding the baby. Therefore, it is best for breastfeeding mothers to have a doctor prescribe some medication after catching a cold. This can effectively treat the cold and may not affect breastfeeding. If it affects breastfeeding, attention should be paid to avoid the baby's nutrition coming solely from breast milk.
