Is it a must to bath herbal water during confinement especially in the first 2 weeks? I bathed with herbal water with my first confinement but everytime i end up very sticky which make me feel disgusted and no mood + CL not letting me bath normal and letting me hold my baby even for 5mins. Argh! On a side note, for those who had CL does she let u hold the baby everytime? (Excluding breastfeed)

I did bathe with herbal water (those confinement bath packs) throughout the entire confinement, and yes it wasn't a pleasant experience but I think it helped with keeping wind away from me. However, one "side effect" is that I'm now unable to sleep without my blanket in aircon room from force of habit :/ Having said that, most confinement practices are passed down from many generations ago where living conditions were really bad - most of these no longer apply to modern day life, so it's up to you and your family on how much you want to follow those traditions!
