I did not follow confinement strictly and only chose to follow those which I found logical. - showered and washed my hair everyday with hot herbal water as it is important to maintain hygiene. - ordered confinement food delivery - did postnatal massage to move the internal organs back to their original positions I walked around as much as possible and was very involved in child-care (this is contrary to the Chinese beliefs of lying down for most part of the day whilst others look after the baby). My milk supply was more than enough, and continues till today. A lot of it depends on your diet. I would say the MOST important thing is for the mother to be relaxed and happy. If it makes you miserable having to follow a particular rule, then tweak it a little or scrap it altogether. http://pregnant.sg/articles/confinement-practices-in-asia/
