1 month confinement

No matter how ‘modern’ and well educated u are.. i believe confinement is very important..WITHOUT following the crazy strict rules though.. See, our body has just done one of the most remarkable things, which is growing another human being, 9 months of pregnancy, it does change our body tremendously, and then during child birth, our body has been through a trauma during delivery..having to say that, we need time to recover! Confinement period gives us the chance to rest and eat well.. which is why i believe we should avoid going out, since we r recovering..pay attention to our body, and let it fully recover.. eat healthy food, sleep, and manage the baby. But do shower, warm shower helps, i dont believe in not showering as we need to take care of our hygiene! Apart from that, eat balance foods- carbs, protein, fruits and veges.. i usually eat less carbs and more protein as protein is crucial for helping our body to recover from childbirth.. I do my 30 days confinements for all 4 kids.. i look at it as a period for me to just rest , concentrate in recovering and taking care of the newborn.. get as much help as you can during this time.. as for myself, i am lucky enough as i have good support system in the family.
