Postpartum confinement month

there are many considerations. it's really not about "can you endure confinement without a nanny" 1. can you afford? 2. do you have help? 3. do you have any clue on how to look after a newborn? or anyone to guide you. 4. how many children do you have? 1. given the covid situation, confinement nanny prices have shot up. if u can afford it, then on to qn 2. 2. do you have other help in the house. daily house chores need to be done. and every household has different preferences. some needs to have the floor mopped daily, some don't have a washing machine. as long as u have both help from both technology and/or humans it is possible. things like a vacuum/mopping robot, having a washing machine, not being so particular that the floor must be mopped daily does tame the toll off your shoulders. 3. if this is your 1st child, and you have no relatives/friends to guide/help u at least the first few days, everything may seem confusing and you'll feel lost. so confinement nanny/experienced person is important cos they should also teach you how to deal w newborn. otherwise you'll be a lost panicked lamb. 4. if you have no other kids, it's doable handling 1 baby alone. if not youll be split in many directions cos your elder one wants attention/help too. so having someone else helps. if you have all these points covered you can definitely do confinement without help. but do consider having some companionship besides husband especially if he's not wfh, cos it can be lonely during day time. and at least there's someone to keep an eye out for baby when u catch up on your naps or pumping.
