I did esp since the weather is so so hot and humid!!!!!!! But old wives will tell you not to.... end of day maybe try balancing it out

Try to avoid until at least after confinement. I strictly kept to red dates tea and boiled cooled water only during confinement.

Cold water is associated with water retention problems, and mothers should avoid it during confinement.

Keep to warm water if you must. No cold water.. But best to drink red dates during confinement period..

I drank cold water only and sometimes soft drinks. Feels perfectly fine and I recovered quite fast.

I did too!

If according to those Chinese traditional confinement practice, it's not allowed..

I think it’s fine. It’s very important to be hydrated in the postnatal period.

Suggest not to, especially when your body is at a weak stage...

Hi... no. You shouldn’t consume anything cold.
