Anyone survived 1st month without confinement nanny? How did you manage?

I am planning to DIY confinement for my coming confinement. I checked with my friends who also DIY confinement and all of them feedback that it is very manageable, some tips shared from them: - if you have family member to cook for you, you can order pre-pack confinement herbs from either Hock Hua, New Baby, or Eu Yan Sang. It costs less than $300 for 28-day supplies. There are plenty of online confinement recipes to refer too to e.g. http://sg.theasianparent.com/confinement_soup_recipes/ - if you do not have family member to cook for you, you can consider to cater confinement food. Natal Essentials Confinement Catering is highly recommended due to its food variety and tastiness. - For taking care of the newborn, during the initial days where your wound are still recovering, you can get your family member to bath, change diapers, washing, and etc. for baby. - Full latching also helps the mummy to attend to the newborn easily and reduce the time in pumping breastmilk. - If there is/are elder kid(s) in the house, you can let them help in some simple baby chores. You can plan simple art and craft or worksheets for them to entertain themselves.
