wanna hear some opinions here...
visited a fren who gave birth a week ago. asked her how's her confinement food.. she said eat seasme chicken for 1st 2 weeks then 3rd week onwards, can add in veg and fish...
wah... dun think i can eat the same stuff, day in and day out. when i asked is baby crying louder now, cos 2nd day after delivery, went to see her, baby cried, hardly any sound. she immediately shhh..said, cannot say such things...
ah... so do u all believe all these? Like no shower for confinement month, can only eat seasme chicken, and cannot say baby cute or very "kuai"...

yah, going back to study liao hahaha..
but before that, to Fairy,
yah, I think should believe lah, esp the confinement part, really very impt to eat all the 'RIGHT' food.
like food with lotsa ginger to expel the air that went into the stomache when gave birth, stuff to replenish the blood that was lost... etc...

Cheerios, Im a big fan of Patissier too. But I like their green tea selection and the tofu cake which is very unique and different, and super tasty. Hmm.. JB, its cheap and fun to go, if u go on the weekdays, can go to Holiday Plaza, the top level have so many shops tat does mani and pedi and they r super cheap on weekdays coz no one goes during weekdays.
Twin fairy, its superstition. A lot of things cannot be said in front of the baby when they r juz born. Better be safe than sori.

Hello people, I am working from home today. Not feeling well but still have work to catch up on.
I don't really believe in the part about cannot say baby is cute or guai. But since it's her baby, she decides lor and outside parties just follow.

my other fren said when her baby borned, also cried softly.. then as baby got older, crying got louder..
logically, is normal for newborn baby to cry softly cos just borned, not much strength.. but as baby get older, of course, more strength, crying also get louder... dun think is becos of a remark, the baby suddenly will cry louder..
think when is my turn... most old folks will be angry with me...
and.. really cannot shower??? wah... weather so hot, cannot shower... hmmm... when breastfeeding time... isnt it not hygienic?!

Cannot shower and wash your hair for one month is too far-fetched lah. You may pass the germs to the baby and contaminate the family's living environment.

its so unhygiene not to bath for one whole mth. I bath everyday and wash my hair every alternate days. As for food, actually it taste very good (cooked by my mum).
Degree of Pantangness depends on individual. my mum very patang, hence cannot say the bb good or bad. For eg, my nephew cannot come in contact with pregnant women or else he will be very cranky the whole day. My sis dun believe it initially, after few encounters, she have no choice but to believe as my nephew crankiness almost drove her crazy. From then on, she is more alert on this.

Actually its realli cannot shower. Becoz if u do, 'wind' will go into ur body. When woman get older, they will have problems with their bones and joints. So no choice. Tat's y they have invented the dry shampoo and all those dry stuff. Its in powder form so its suppose to absorbe sweat and all tat. Before breastfeeding, can use wet ones to wipe clean first mah. But must dry it immediately before breastfeeding lah.
And I noe now actually can shower already but must use this herbs in hot water and shower very fast, like splash over ur body and out of u go. dry ur body and blow dry ur hair immediately so tat no 'wind' will travel into ur body and get trapped.
So for the better of ur health and body in the future, 1 month is no choice.

kekeke exactly..doctors nowadays will tell u..how can anyone not bathe for one month?? hygiene plays an impt role esp when one is in confinement wif all the breast feeding going on
what my sis did was..she bathed everyday but used those chinese herbs to do so..her MIL was ok with that n also the one who prepared her bath everyday during her confinement

I shower twice daily and wash my hair during the morning shower...cannot imagine not showering for one full month.
when a women give birth, her body structure, health undergo major changes. if confinment not done properly, will affect her health for the rest of her life so cannot be taken lightly.
ppl dun wash hair for one month is prevent ruthumism (feng shi).
can bath lar, but use special kind of herbs like wat serene say. or put lots of powder.

ya, used the special herbs for bath. Juz bath quickly, after tat take a hot drink and then lie in bed with the cover loh.
Actually for the 1st 2 wks of confinement, will sweat like nobody business (think during labour, was given drip, hence water retention after tat), hence it make sense to bath everyday, especially i breastfeed my ds. Also, i massage for 7 days after delivery, hence i need to "wash" away the herbs everyday before i carried my ds. BB's skin are very sensitive, hence image "exposing" them to a "dirty" mummy.... wait the face also got red spots....
so, those going to give birth soon, do prepare some hankies on standby as will need it.

powder for washing hair- just heard from fren that she will use it to "shampoo" her hair. Didnt know that's such stuff around.
Think i shall "interview" all my frens who's already a mum to get a better picture on confinement.
And know what my darling said "aiyah, if u find it (confinement) tough, then dun have baby. I'm okay" ...i was left speechless

actually those powder shampoo is not very good, will "absorb" the oilyness to a certain degree. I still feel that washing hair during confinement is a must .... or else cannot imagine the state of the hair by the end of the confinment.
Initially my mum also dun allow me to wash hair, can bath only, but i fight for it and with the help of my sis, we manage to persuade my mum loh.

That makes sense, deadheart. But I have oily scalp, so even if I wash my hair in the night the next morning it will turn greasy. No choice, I do it in the morning.
Twin fairy - Oh, so she dry cleans herself? Hehe...still it doesn't sound hygienic.
