Mommies out there, do you think is a must to engage confinement nanny?

Question

Just want to understand why there is such a high recommendation for having a nanny since it only lighten your load for a month, but does not dismiss the fact that you still have a lifetime more to care for your child? Are there things i did not consider besides just having an helping hand to takecare of your baby only? I just don’t prefer having a stranger albeit experience person to care for my child. Would like to hear more perspective. #firsttimemom

I didn’t engage one and I wouldn’t do it if I have a second one too. I personally feel I get more hands on and used to the routine faster and I don’t have to experience the “panickness and lost” when nanny leaves after the first month. Because of this, even after my husband had to go back to work after PL, I could handle well on my own too. Also, I don’t have the problem where I disagree with nanny’s way etc. The downside is at times I might need to search online on the “how to and what to”, lesser sleep (I have to pump anyway so no difference. Everytime after pumping I just feed and change baby then go back to sleep) but alls good. I ordered confinement food since none of us can cook.
