Mommies out there, do you think is a must to engage confinement nanny?

I didn’t engage one and I wouldn’t do it if I have a second one too. I personally feel I get more hands on and used to the routine faster and I don’t have to experience the “panickness and lost” when nanny leaves after the first month. Because of this, even after my husband had to go back to work after PL, I could handle well on my own too. Also, I don’t have the problem where I disagree with nanny’s way etc. The downside is at times I might need to search online on the “how to and what to”, lesser sleep (I have to pump anyway so no difference. Everytime after pumping I just feed and change baby then go back to sleep) but alls good. I ordered confinement food since none of us can cook.

For me, I need to recover my body back after delivering. This is very important for me, especially for the first two weeks at least. Don’t miss the golden period to recover back your health. Also, I don’t think my husband will be able to cope baby + house chores alone. Nobody will be cooking nourishing meals for me (because husband will be too tired). I can learn how to take care of a baby from the nanny from third week onwards while my husband learns during the first two weeks. If you have someone to take care of the baby, clean the house and cook for you, then you might not need a confinement nanny. It depends on your situation.
