Any Mummies practice strict confinement ? No shower, wear long pants and shirt and socks ?

Nope… it’s impossible in Singapore’s humid weather. You’ll sweat buckets after giving birth even in aircon room… And hygiene is extremely important when you’re recovering from giving birth and especially even more so if you’re gonna breastfeed/pump … It’s important to keep ourself clean when we have to take care of our newborn. I shower and wash my hair daily. Just use hot water from the heater and blow dry your hair immediately after shower… I didn’t cover up either. Just wear shorts and singlet. You’ll feel very uncomfortable if you’re all covered up and sweating .
