Anyone did not order catering for confinement and cook yourself or mother or mother in law cook for you? What are the menus you all have suitable for confinements?

Recently I came across with this Confinement Album in Facebook and the owner uploaded graphic pictures for references: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.739689529498226.1073741836.354120548055128&type=3 The dishes look yummy and nutritious for confinement. I have already bookmarked the link and will let my mother have it for references during my coming confinement. Alternatively, you can purchase pre-pack confinement herbs to boil the soups such as Eu Yan Sang which costs about 290.

My hubby did my confinement for me and we had simple dishes. I hate eating many confinement dishes and feel that it is not needed to have any confinement nanny as hubby is able to bath for baby and I'm breastfeeding. Pig Trotter's in Vinegar is a must. Get some herbs prior to your delivery for daily dose of soup. Alternatively, you can eat vegetables, pork, fishes, etc ... so long as you need to put ginger, sesame oil which is the most important.

Here are some soup recipes that you can refer to: http://sg.theasianparent.com/confinement_soup_recipes/ And another compilation of yummy confinement food recipes: http://whattocooktoday.com/category/by-main-ingredient/chinese-confinement-recipes My friend referred to this for inspiration during her confinement. Her mother prepared her meals and there were days in which she showed her some of these recipes.

My mum cooked for me, but the menu was really repetitive that I stayed away from it for a few months after :x I don't remember exactly (it's been two years) but roughly: - pig trotter's vinegar (猪脚醋) - sesame oil chicken (麻油鸡) - steamed broccoli - stirfried veg And every single day, litres and litres of red dates drink :/

You can order the 28day pre packed soup herbs from hock hua. All you have to do is brew them with either pork or fish Dishes usually sesame chicken, rice wine chicken, herbal chicken, sesame oil steam fish with ginger, pig kidney with ginger, spinach, sweet potota leaves, brocolli etc... Lots of ginger!

wah this one I very proud to share. I shop, cook and feed myself with my c sect wound still in the healing process. I basically ate clean without any salt, less oil, and no chilli. my meals are mainly soup, and rice with Vege, and steam fish. and I drank 100 plus daily.

My mother in law cooked for me. What she did mainly was to add more ginger. She did cook some 'confinement dishes' like vinegar pork, red yeast food. I told her i dislike confinement food just cook normally like she would just add fried ginger by the side

This is a good resource too for confinement recipes: http://sg.theasianparent.com/category/becoming-a-mum/confinement/confinement-recipes/ My mother-in-law cooked fish for me every day. It would have been nice to have some variety!

I cooked myself, ermm.. I didnt do anytjing particular. Lol. I ate any and everything. Wish i had someone to cook for me. *sob sobs* but i heard a lot of old people saying to take lots of ginger. Not sure if thats a myth.

I had no one at all. What I did was I use a slow cooker to make soup for myself. Simple soup, abc soup, or I Fry chicken with ginger, steam fish with spring onion really simple and basic meals.
