My confinement was done by my mom in my own home -sweet home. I followed the traditional confinement practices of showering. I only wipe my body with towel for 1 week after delivery. After 7 days, I started to bathe with herbs infused in hot water. Surprising, I didn't feel as sticky as i thought as i switched on the air-condition for 24hours.. ;p
I wore long sleeves and pants to prevent any "wind" from entering into my body. My mom also advise me on my diet during confinement. I drank vinegar to get rid of the "wind" in my tummy and i think that really helped alot. My massage lady was very good as well as she gave me valuable advices how to take care of myself and my baby . I could see the drop in inches (for my waist) after each massage..
Most importantly, I am lucky to have both the support of my hubby and my mother .. especially when i was at a loss with handling a newborn who had just arrived into my world…
My beloved baby Clarisee.
