Is 1 month of confinement a must?

It's been tough securing a CL these days. I don't even feel comfortable putting down a deposit for them. Caucasians don't do confinement the way we asians do. Can mothers please share their confinement experience? Do you really feel too weak etc to cook confinement meals yourself while taking care of baby? Do we really really a CL/mother to do confinement for us?

It’s doable without a CL. I am a FTM and survive without a CL but I’m glad I have my mom to help me. However the other 50% of task I am managing it myself. Downside is I feel myself really very tired and frustrated and I didn’t have energy to pump at all. Hence my baby didn’t really receive much breast milk from me. In terms of recovery I am feeling fine, just abit of backaches that I think all mothers will experience regardless of having a CL or not. I think you can order confinement meals to cut down the time to do groceries shopping and cooking
