      Postpartum On the one hand, the mother has to bear the responsibility of breastfeeding the baby, and on the other hand, she has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of hard parenting, which can be said to be quite hard. The choice of underwear is also quite knowledgeable. On the one hand, it must play a role in maintaining beauty, and on the other hand, it must be convenient for breastfeeding, so it cannot be careless, let alone wearing ordinary underwear. So how should mothers choose underwear after giving birth? Let’s take a brief look at it together.

      First of all, it is recommended to choose special maternity nursing bras, which can ensure convenient daily breastfeeding. At the same time, when making choices, you should also pay attention to the following few principles:

      1. Try to choose ones with buttons, and the buttons are preferably in the front, so that you can facilitate breastfeeding at any time. Of course, if there is an open cup style, it is not a good choice, but I personally prefer the open style, because the baby's skin It is very delicate, and it would be bad if the baby touches the buttons while feeding. Personally, I don’t think underwear needs too much decoration. In principle, the simpler and more convenient the better, because on the way to raising children, you may need to "undress and take off your belt" at any time to breastfeed, so convenience is the most important.

      2. Try to choose angled bra cups. It is recommended that you try to choose the one that looks obviously rising and deep, that is, the cup is full. When consulting and purchasing, choose the 4/4 full cup size, which can hold the breasts better when used, because during lactation female Breasts are generally larger than usual.

      3. In terms of material, I personally recommend choosing cotton fabrics, preferably thinner ones, as elastic as possible, and with better breathability. Because during the lactation period, due to breastfeeding, there may be problems with milk leakage from time to time. In addition, if the clothes are too thick, the milk and sweat cannot be discharged in time, which is not good.

      4. In terms of style, you should also pay attention to choosing ones with steel rings at the bottom. This can give the breasts a feeling of upward hand support, thus preventing the problem of postpartum breast sagging to a large extent. Of course, the steel mops should also be wrapped in pure cotton fabric, which makes them more convenient to use. It is also recommended to choose one size larger than usual. Firstly, the problem of breast enlargement occasionally occurs when breastfeeding, and secondly, because many postpartum mothers tend to gain weight after giving birth, choosing a larger one can largely avoid the uneven grooves on the back.

      5. In terms of color, try to choose white. It is recommended not to choose dark colors. This way, if the underwear is contaminated, it can be discovered and changed in time, which can reduce the risk of the baby drinking contaminated milk. In addition, do not choose pure white underwear, because pure white underwear may be bleached, which is not good for the baby's body. healthy

      As the saying goes, everyone has their own preferences. For postpartum mothers, when buying underwear, you only need to pay attention to the above five small principles, and then choose the one you like best from various types of underwear.

      In addition to paying attention to the selection of underwear, there are actually many details that need to be paid attention to when washing underwear and organizing underwear on a daily basis. For example, you must change and wash frequently, expose your underwear to the sun frequently, and pay attention to sterilization. If conditions permit, it is best to prepare several pieces of underwear. (Special article for 99 Health Network (www.99.com.cn), please indicate the source if you need to reprint. )
