I'm told that i can't take plain water during confinement otherwise the swelling of my tummy will not subside; we are only allowed to take red dates and longan drink. Is this true?

Can drink water, room temperature or warm is fine. Red date tea is quite heaty so better to drink some water to prevent constipation.

Not true. I still drink warm water inclusive of red dates drinks. And my tummy still went back to pre preg during confinement period.

yes is a must to drink red dates and longan drink. the best is put ginger in the drink so we can slim down faster.

No harm in taking plain water especially when you're breastfeeding! We tend to get more thirsty while bfing.

Red dates tea sometimes don't relieve the thirst. I believe everything in moderation is key.

Nope, can still take warm water and hot soup. I took nursing tea too!

Not true. But try not to drink too much, else water retention

I'm doing my confinement. I still drink plain warm water.

thanks
