This comes from the belief that drinking plain water causes water retention or will cool down the body too much. The truth: There is no harm in drinking plain water. In fact, because new mothers tend to sweat heavily because of hormonal changes, they have all the more reason to drink water and keep hydrated.
I think keeping hydrated is very important after birthing a baby. Being hydrated will help wounds heal faster. Drinking special teas for confinement will be good but I reckon you shouldn't avoid water totally. Water is a basic sustenance and it's a bit extreme to avoid it. But that's just my 2 cents worth.
On the contrary, drinking more water will help with water retention. It prevents the kidneys from thinking that the body is dehydrated and also helps to flush the salt out. Any type of fluid will help, so red date tea is good too if you don't fancy plain water.
