Margin collapsing issue: add padding at .main-wrapper?

Margin collapsing happens in this scenario because there’s no border, padding, content, or anything to separate the top margin of our block level body element with the top margin of its first child. In this case, the first child of the body element should be .main-wrapper, so I just add .main-wrapper padding 20px, instead of .main-header Why it doesn't work. It pushes the header further down and have more gap of 44px instead.
