Confinement Nanny or Nah

Can I do it without a confinement nanny? I am a first time mom and a part of me would like to try our taking care of the baby, but another part of me is afraid I cannot handle it. Any mummy can share their thoughts on this? Or if you have any confinement nanny to recommend!!! My edd is 2nd Feb 2027 and it’s very close to CNY period!

Hi there! If you’ll be alone with the baby, I would suggest yes get one. Cause as a first time mum, you’ll be overwhelmed, and you actually should take this first month to really rest up and recover. Giving birth is a huge procedure and really takes a toll from the mum. You’ll have all the time you want with the baby after nanny leaves, so you’re not missing anything out! You can also learn some tips and tricks from nanny too to make your journey more enjoyable than stressing out what to do , what not to do. If you planning to get one, just a heads up that CNY has surcharges so the one I got she’s charging 1k more than usual. My EDD is 9th Feb 2027! 🙂But that’s the market rate and CNY is a hot period , do go secure one asap if you can! Agency might be a little costlier than freelance nannies but if anything were to happen, you won’t be left alone cause agency will always assign another nanny for you. So maybe you can explore that! I’m using freelance nanny but the ones I know are all booked up already so I would suggest agency might be safer for you🙏🏻
