no shower during confinement

Does anyone here who practise no shower during 28days confinement? Or would be practising that after you deliver ? No shower and no hair washing for 28days

I showered my body everyday with lots of care with the mentality of how we do skincare for our face. Poured warm prepared herbal bathwater from head to toe and massage scalp and back (acne is common there so pay attention) and legs, you really need to gently massage those aching joints after what you have been through for blood circulation and these herbal baths are meant for that. Please leave the scrubbing of the stained tiles/floor to your husband or confinement nanny to do, don't hurt your back doing it like me :) Then after shampoo and wash off as usual. Sometimes I use shower gel sometimes I don't because of hormonal imbalance and excess sebum. I do this once a day after first morning feeding OR afternoon feeding whenever my breasts are empty enough to pamper myself. I made it a point to blow-dry my hair too so hair will be lighter and less sticky. It's was the best month of rest, I don't get to do that anymore after my nanny left us.
