DIY Confinement Tips

For mummies who DIY-ed your own confinement, any tips, tricks or hacks to share? Some things I’ve done / thought about: I already bought the 30-day pre-packaged herbs from laobanniang, which my husband will help to prepare. My husband usually cooks my meals but we are also considering to order the confinement tingkat for maybe just the first two weeks or so till we settle down. Either that or we’ll prepare in advance and deep freeze some meals for emergency. Any other ideas or tips for DIY during this confinement period?
