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?

Confinement is important to help in your recovery, I feel. Your body is under a lot of stress from pregnancy and childbirth. It’s definitely good to have a CL to help take care of your baby, prepare nourishing meals and be that extra pair of helping hands. I was very irritable and weak for the first 3 weeks due to the pain, lack of sleep and discomfort.My CL helped me take care of my baby, prepare my bath water, red date tea, reminded me to rest and not touch cold water. It will be beneficial when I get older... I believed her!
