Is confinement nanny a must?

FTM here. Wondering if it’s a must to hire a confinement nanny. Will hubby and I be able to manage alone without help from MIL/ mum/ confinement nanny? Our parents stay pretty far from us so I’m not quite keen to trouble them.

Gonna be FTM here too in 1 month time. Also gonna manage without CN. Too expensive and difficult to get and we prefer to take care of our baby in our own ways. Current arrangement worked out is my husband & I will take care of the baby while my mum will be helping me on my recovery (herbal bath, some light chores and cooking if needed, and secondary help). She is old and I don’t want to burden her with caring for the baby. I will order weekdays confinement tingkat and she will cook for me only for weekends. We engaged part time helper from helpling for cleaning and chores every biweekly. Most important is your husband - if he is prepared to be hands on at least for 1 month that would be great help.
