Should I stay away from drinking water in my confinement. Does it cause water retention? Can I just drink red date tea?

I think keeping hydrated is very important after birthing a baby. Being hydrated will help wounds heal faster. Drinking special teas for confinement will be good but I reckon you shouldn't avoid water totally. Water is a basic sustenance and it's a bit extreme to avoid it. But that's just my 2 cents worth.
