Bread during confinement

Dear mommies, just curious if anyone has been advised NOT to eat bread during confinement? The reason given is that bread will cause bloating since our digestive system will be weakened after giving birth. Not sure if this is at all true or just some old wives’ tale.

FIL making fun of our child’s name

Being Chinese-ed, they complained that the English name was a mouthful, and my FIL even made fun of the Chinese name (he said that people are bound to make fun of our child in school with that name). I WAS SO FURIOUS, but decided to ignore him since my husband didn’t say anything as well. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I felt that he didn’t respect us enough as parents of his grandchild. I just didn’t want to rant to my husband because they are his parents after all. Anyone faced the same issue naming their child?

Craving food with salad veg

Hi all! Currently 10w +, and I have an immense craving for Subway sandwiches and Stuff’d burrito bowls, both containing a good amount of fresh salad veggies. I’m wary that salad greens sold outside may not be washed thoroughly. Any mommies-to-be with the same dilemma and any solutions/replacement?
