Sometimes it's true but tink of it tis way, even u cincai eat she also will complain. Overall, I look at your MIL i tink she might get fustrated too being coop up in your house. If there is program organise by CC to a day farm tour or watever tour available inclusive of transport, maybe can let her join. That way, at least she can get out of the house.
WAH....your MIL can really eat hor.....that's so bad. But get the confinement lady to buy stuff that u can eat and she say she cannot eat like PAPAYA.....ha haha.....see if she will finish it all.

Hmmm....then ginseng??? hv to drink ginseng soup every night mah....cos u r breastfeeding it's good for the baby too. And I guess u should try to start drinking bird nest like water so as to keep the supply going and also good for baby cos give baby SMooooooth complexion...hee..hee....

As for the papaya fish soup, I think you have to take a hard line with her and your hubby to say that it is well-known that the soup is good for increasing milk flow. If you wanna be sarcastic, say "You dont know about the soup, no wonder last time never bf my hubby properly". Or "You say I dont have enough milk, yet dont let CL cook papaya soup for me, then you think GOOD MILK will drop from the sky or flow from the tap issit"?
I understand what you mean. I also very cin cai during my confinement. Although I love eating those type of ginger confinement food, but I also got bored of eating the same vegetables. What I did was ask CL to cook noodles soup (with the lean meat, lover, kidney and vegetables in soup base) for my lunch everyday. Then dinner I eat rice with individual dishes (but still same ingredients, lean meat, kidney, liver, vegetables, fish). This 'menu' kept my sanity a bit, rather than eat rice every meal. If you are serious about bf-ing, do not even consider thinking of going on diet (intentionally or otherwise). You need the nutrients for your baby and yourself. If you still have your pregnancy supplements (multi-vit, calcium), finish them. Especially calcium. Otherwise you get bone problems in future.
At least you lucky got tv to watch in room. I live with in laws and tv in living room and their master bedroom, not mine cos my room too cramped. I wanna watch tv also must go out to living room. But I dont care, wear t shirt and loose pyjamas pants in the day cos its so humid, although all the windows in the house are open and wind blowing big big....
I think you need to talk to your hubby(out of her view/earshot) that the foods to be eaten are for your good, for your recovery of your health. Does he want to either withstand her nagging or go against her view now, OR does he want to consider the possibility that you got future health problems next time cos confinement not done well and you have to see doctor, spend more money and angst in future. Also, if you dont take care of your health well during confinement, may give you problems in future when you want to have more children.
Tell her "the CL cook more confinement dishes for people in one year, compared to your MIL whole lifetime, even though she got 4 children". Even if CL REALLY dont know how to choose, can ask the market seller for good recommendation, or ask your hubby to supervise the buying. Fresh produce sold in Singapore is really good. You generally get good-looking and fresh vegetables at wet markets or even NTUC, probably better than what she gets in Msia. But I find fresh produce in Sheng Siong and Shop N Save not as 'good-looking' as NTUC's or Cold Storage.
Ideas to convince your MIL to spend her $$$:
