We are FTP who didn’t engage any confinement nanny as well. We just took confinement meals. First few months it’s actually quite easy to handle as baby pretty much just sleep eat poop. Don’t even need to think how to entertain baby. The only tiring part is trying to get accustomed to frequent waking and lack of sleep (if you are intending to bf)
I personally find that not having a confinement nanny or help for the first month pretty much helped us to get used to the routine. No issues with “Baby refuses to this and that after nanny leaves.” 😊
As overwhelming as it is, I would still do without a CN for my future pregnancies. 😊
