Confinement after birth
Hi mummies, how many days of confinement did you go through ? And do you restrict yourself from going out other than to baby’s appointments? Do you also restrict yourself from using aircon & drinking cold water ? #FTM
i did 30 days, with aircon. just make sure is not blowing directly at u. sg weather too hot, if dont on aircon you will sweat and smelly. unless u bathe everyday. but bathing is not good unless herbal bath. i bathe herbal bath alternate day. and of coz no cold water! food wise i didnt really eat other food except for confinement food.
Read more30/31 days depending on calendar month. I will still shop awhile after appointments, didn’t specially go out as I didn’t feel good (fat) to do so. I didn’t restrict aircon, fan (face up to ventilate room) and shower (normally without herbs), just didn’t drink cold water. But still drink room temp plain water.
Read moreI did 30 for first 2 and will be doing 42 for my current. I’ll still shower without herbs If I need to run errands will still go out. But will be covering up properly. Aircon will still continue. Cold water maybe sip abit but will be on red dates tea + water most of the time.
Read moreHello! I restricted myself from going out other then gynae/baby appt. I’m sleeping in Aircon room (weather toooo hot, buay tahan) , do not drink any cold drinks. I even hardly drink water, only drink red dates tea tat my nanny brew. Only bath once (herbal) , bath day time only
30days. Yes I only went out for checkups. Yes I used the aircon at 25degree. No I didn’t drink cold water. It depends on your lifestyle and personal beliefs. I have a friend who went for briyani with her newborn during confinement period and she’s fine.
I did 44 days confinement for both pregnancy. No heading out except mine/baby's appt. No AC nor cold drinks. Also strictly only confinement food.
I went out during the confinement days - mainly to send kids to school, accompany hubby, send to babies appointment and etc.
