i wash my hair daily but bath twice a day with ta feng chao, damn shiok with shampoo & conditioner.

Cant tahan the oily, smelly feeling.
 
i cant stand nt washing my hair.... i tolerate til the 3rd day of my confinement period, & i wanted to go & wash my hair!

so my mum quickly went to buy the herbs for me to wash my hair.... seriously, wash like nv wash like that. cos u cant use clear water.. used the herb+water..
but at least better than cant bath...

bathed with herbs everyday aft the 7th day confinement. until the end of the confinement month.

Coz I delivered by c-section, so I didn't shower till the doc took my bandage off at 7th day after delivery. Just use warm water and wash my hair alternate days. But b4 the doc took the bandage off, I just use wet towel to wipe.....during that time I was dying to shower coz I sweated bucket loads....It was during May...so hot!!

i bathed and washed mine hair few hours after ive delivered dd. but then , dh made sure the aircon in the room were switched off and that i got covered by towels once ive off the water, and dried and clothed me up before i step outta the toilet. my mum and dh's mum not the traditional type , so they encouraged me to bath and wash mine hair as and when i want to , just make sure i dont catch a cold =)

my massage lady told me, the things they drink during confinement is diff from us. so they can bathe daily. and their drink is very terrible in taste. and their confinement period is 44 days while ours is 40 days. anyway, i cant bathe during the first 1 week or so, cuz i c-sec. so the bandage is stil on me. My mil keep saying n nagging i cant bathe. but i dun care. i took out the bandage n went to bathe straight away aft a week of constant wiping with hot water. but useless too, stil very sticky.

I bathed on my 2nd day after delivery at the hospital wen the nurse ask to do so. She says so that wound wun get infection.

During confinement, i bathed every other day with very hot water. The rest of days juz wipe myself with towel. Washed my hair once a wk.:Dancing_wub:
