Confinement

To mummies doing confinement now, do y’all really not touch water at all? How to not touch water after using toilet or washing face or brushing teeth? And do y’all really not drink water at all?

I shower my body once every day (needed to keep my wound clean as well), hair every week once. I drank red dates tea for 2 weeks but I couldn’t seem to quench my thirst… I couldn’t take it and started drinking water at the 3rd week. For showering I always shower at 40-41 degrees (I’m used to hot water hence no difference for me during confinement) & only drank warm water. Waterrrrr is very important, especially if you’re breastfeeding! First day of drinking water my supply went up by at least 60ML even my husband was amazed because he saw how I was struggling to increase my supply. My gynae also asked me not to do confinement when I went back for review check up. 😂
