Is it possible to do confinement without a confinement nanny?

Yes, it is possible. My husband was with me, and that helped a lot. If you’re okay to spend a little, see if you can order in food for the first month (whether confinement food (more ex) or normal tingkat/dishes), because cooking/washing dishes on top of caring for baby is very challenging if your baby’s the super alert type and doesn’t nap. Also, manage your expectations. Don’t expect everything to be perfect. It’s really okay if the house is a little messier or you haven’t mastered how to feed/put baby to sleep. It’s a learning journey. Try to enjoy the process, and ask for help if and when you need it. Don’t stress about feeding. If you’re breastfeeding, great! If you’re not, also great! If you don’t have enough breastmilk, just top up with formula.. baby will still be intelligent. And in fact, a fuller baby sleeps better and is happier. Breastmilk supply takes time to build up, and with enough fluids, nutrients and rest. So don’t stress out. Baby’s might be scared and insecure, so don’t stress out about baby crying a lot. Swaddle, cuddle, pat. Hold baby close. If possible, let baby sleep in the cot as early as possible, so that they learn to be independent, and so you can also sleep when baby sleeps. But if that proves difficult, don’t worry. There’s always another day to try letting baby master sleep. Remember to be proud of yourself... because this is a huge feat:) Remember that you’re recovering from labour too.. so do try not to overexert, and get rest whenever you can:)
