Is 1 month of confinement a must?

It's been tough securing a CL these days. I don't even feel comfortable putting down a deposit for them. Caucasians don't do confinement the way we asians do. Can mothers please share their confinement experience? Do you really feel too weak etc to cook confinement meals yourself while taking care of baby? Do we really really a CL/mother to do confinement for us?

Take this time during your confinement to bond well with the baby .. And slowly you will adapt the lifestyle bit by bit . It requires alot of patience but you will be able to do it .. you probably wouldnt be able to get enough sleep but maybe get your husband to assist you in taking care of the baby .. if you are afraid you cant cope you can find some nanny who does postnatal massage and prepare confinement meals for you but you will need to spent and also .. Eat lots of sharkfish to increase your milk supply .. There is alot you will learn during this one month .. Its best to stay home this period too because of the COVID-19 . Take good care of your health and also you may want to visit instagram page "@ohmilkymama" if im not wrong and eat those cookies to increase your milk supply too .. This is the best time to learn everythint and also take lots of picture . In my opinions , staying home is the best now .

Please don’t take shark fin for sustainability sake. Shark fin is also not healthy due to its mercury level. Fish like salmon and threadfin are good enough to boost milk supply
