Disagreement on confinement matter between me and my husband

Is it really mandatory to follow the confinement requirements? Most of my friends who are moms mentioned that must follow, if not there will be side effects etc Example for few: Friends(F): Using chinese medicine to clean up, etc Husband(H): Can shower by using water heater. Wash hands using tap water F: Cannot cold/plain water, either drink hot milk/milo or red dates logan H: Can drink cold water

erm, is your husband doing the confinement for you? if not, why does he get a say on how you do it?

Never follow any confiment rules at all. Am fine and good. Most rules have no scientific grounds.

do what you think is right and comfortable. no right no wrong

Im due on Oct (my nbr 4) and still for food wise, i'll take a confinement meals instead. Massage deffinitely to ease all the aching or pain. Shower, come on, of course u can but better in a warm water rather than cold. Most importantly, trust yr body mummy. Knowing there will be people who will keep saying do's and dont's, its u that just giving birth. Dont force yourself if u cant. 😊

No.. Many practices are not scientifically proven tbh.
