Can I drink water after giving birth? Will it cause any joint problem?

I have been told to drink only red date tea esp during the first month. Cant drink water, also cant touch water.. They said it will cause joint problem in the future or u will be sensitive to wind. I normally drink alot of water at least 2 littre everyday for so long, and suddenly will have to totally cut down my water intake. I dont know if i can survive 😅 Any mummies can u pls share ur experience? TIA!

Hey mama - firstly, congratulations! Second, I have to respect confinement rules and advice as I’ve seen many women benefit from it. Even the west is becoming more interested and impressed with this practice as it ensures the looking after and healing of mama after birth. However, I will definitely recommend drinking water. Especially if you’re breastfeeding! I mean, we need water for cells and so many other bodily functions! As for touching water, erm, I had a bath immediately after I was done with skin to skin with baby and he was done latching.
