Bathe alternate days for hair , but daily on body . I use the confinement tea bag to place in the water and lemongrass shampoo for my hair and body . Always bathe in warm water and off fan and aircon and faster dry body and hair . During day time I will on the fan and let out natural wind in . Daily drink red dates warm Water instead of plain water . Minimise touch water and let confinement lady handle washing baby clothes and bathing baby as much as possible . Eat well and sleep well during the one month confinement which is really necessary .

Actually not really if u really can’t but can order confinement meals so easier for u n ur hubby .

I try to follow as much. I didnt wash hair for two weeks (UNBEARABLE), I shower with herbal water everyday, got post natal massage, long sleeve and pants with slippers, no wind blowing (windows are shut cuz my place too windy), I do on aircon 25 degree temperature low fan mode in the room, eat traditional confinement food, no cold drinks and no plain water, only red dates. I didnt go out too unless for check ups.

Not really. I shower everyday with confinement herb bath but I make sure I’m dry before stepping out of the shower. I eat all the confinement food, never drink cold water, only drink red date tea. Sleep in aircon room and on fan at Low speed to make myself and baby comfy. Did not have enough rest like what everyone say because taking care of baby on my own with husband, no confinement nanny.
