drink plain water during confinement

Hi mama, Congratulations on your recent birth! Fluids are extremely important postpartum, especially if you’re breastfeeding so please do drink up. I can empathise that red date tea can get very drying for the throat and it’s almost like you’re not quenching your thirst but making yourself thirstier at times. Having said this, I understand that some confinement nannies may frown upon this. Perhaps explaining to her that you won’t hold anything against her might work? I know they mean well and they just hope to have mama recover and rest well from birth. Hope this helps :)
