Confinement wear

Question

Hi experienced mummies! May I ask what is good for wearing at home during confinement month? I thought I read somewhere that we must not be exposed to wind, and therefore should always be in long sleeves and long pants. But was that really what you wore the whole month in our hot and humid weather? What would you recommend? Im also afraid of wearing pants in case of c-sec. Like the waistband may touch the wound. 😔Pls let me know so I can start getting ready my confinement homewear. My current homewear consist mainly of sleeveless tops, shorts, a few short-sleeved tops. No long sleeved top and bottoms. Thanks in advance!#1stimemom

Im currently at 17 days post partum and a mum of 5. I only wore shirt, long pants and socks for the first 2 weeks and also sleep with fan on no. 1. Now Im starting to sweat alot so I only wore home dress & shorts inside so I can breastfeed baby w/o exposing my bottom and still wearing socks. My baby also starts to sweat so we both sleep with fan on no. 2 or 3. Depends sometimes I on the a/c also cos now the weather is super warm but remember to drink lots of water. So far Ive no issues with body pain whatsoever unless I strain myself.
