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?

I think it’s always good to have a extra hand to help so you can rest both physically and mentally, especially if you are a FTM. I wouldn’t say u need to get a “professional CL” but someone who is experienced. (Btw, not all mothers know how to do confinement. My mum do not know bcos she does not have confinement when she had me). My gf who dont do confinement for her #1 and then do for her #2 properly tell me there’s a difference in the body. I know it’s hard securing a CL but deposit is unavoidable. You can try securing CL that is already in Sg. I found mine from fb.
