I'm on confinement now... Grand In laws say so. Not only drink red dates sometimes have coffee and milo also. As long as hot. Once a week I will drink HL milk. 😐 But it's depends on you yourself want to believe anot. Like tummy will big if drink plain water and must sit down during eating or drinking if not sth sth...😅

This comes from the belief that drinking plain water causes water retention or will cool down the body too much. The truth: There is no harm in drinking plain water. In fact, because new mothers tend to sweat heavily because of hormonal changes, they have all the more reason to drink water and keep hydrated.

Depends on your believe and practices. My cousin drank water and ate fast food. Her kid is 7 now, her health still seems pretty fine🙊

Not true! If you dehydrate yourself that'd be the worst thing for both your health and your milk supply

Nope. I just drink plain water too. Just warm will do. Plain water can help to boost breast milk too

Kinda true, best to drink red dates water throughout your confinement. A bit of plain water is fine.

Not true. I had warm plain water as well maternal milk to help boost breastmilk supply.

Can but in moderation. Best to drink 炒米茶, ginger tea, red date logan tea.
