On the other hand, breast changes, but also make the new mother anxious, in fact, as long as properly maintained, arrogant “double peaks” can also be re-owned, so that you can regain confidence. Then, how should we care for the privacy department?
Perineum: recovery should be done in time.

Keep your privacy clean.

After defecation and urination, rinse the perineum with clean water and scrub the vulva with 0.1% benzalkonium bromide solution every day, at least once a day, until the perineal wound is removed.
Pay more attention to diet.
New mothers within a week after surgery, it is best to eat less residue diet, such as milk, lotus root powder, egg soup, rice soup, porridge and other semi-fluid food, in order to prevent the formation of hard stool difficult to discharge, affecting the perineal wound.

Breast: well maintained, postpartum also proud of “Shuangfeng”.
Breast is a symbol of a woman’s pride and sexuality. It not only carries the sacred mission of nurturing a baby, but also endows women with unique charm and charm. After pregnancy due to changes in estrogen levels, many mothers-to-be worried about postpartum breast relaxation, sagging. In fact, as long as you maintain proper conditions, you can have an arrogant “Shuangfeng”.
The right way to breast feed is right.
During the lactation period, mothers should choose the right way of feeding according to the specific situation, commonly used sitting, lateral, encircling, etc. Proper feeding position is beneficial to prevent nipple disease. New mothers should avoid nipping their nipples in the process of sucking, which will easily damage their nipples. Breast feeding should be carried out alternately on both sides of the breast, so as not to cause asymmetry on both breasts.
Choose the right underwear.
Mothers should choose comfortable cotton underwear, to avoid irritating material directly contact with the body. Bra should not be too loose or too tight. Choose a soft cotton and breast-feeding bra. Clean underwear should be replaced every day to keep the breast clean. Don’t choose a bra with plastic edges or support. After the baby is weaned, it can wear the special bra for postnatal body shaping, so that it can effectively concentrate the breast.
Keep breast clean
Postpartum breasts begin to secrete milk, coupled with their own sweat may form a layer around the nipple scab, mothers should first clean the breast before the first breast-feeding. Spread clean vegetable oil on the nipple, wait for the nipple scab to soften, wash with warm soapy water with small alkalinity. Rinse breast, nipple and areola with warm water.
Breast massage
Massage your breasts every night before going to bed or before getting up.
