[stars]

I'll bath once a week w herb. So really take this chance to enjoy my bath. first wash hair, blow dry then back to bathrm to do a thorough BODY SCRUB :tlaugh: so shiok & clean!!!

i didn't bathe until my last week of confinement, only then i was allowed to bathe with herbs. during those 3 weeks, i only wiped with a towel using rice wine. it was terrible as i kept perspiring. however, i washed my hair every 2-3 days cuz i couldn't stand the oiliness! yucks!
anyway, i bathe in the hospital after delivery.

So far, does anyone here face side effect for not follow the confinement "rules" during confinement period? like take bath, wash hair, touch water, use air-con & fan, wear long sleeve, sock...etc. Please share.

Xue, do u kno wat is the root cause for your back ache?

I m on confinement now, take very quick hot bath everyday, wash hair alternate day with Da Feng Ai, wear sock at night time. I m wondering it is gd enough as some of my frenz even one mth never wash hair and wearing sock for whole day. So, just feel strange it is really tat they will more stronger & healty if strictly follow the old folk's advice.

mayb i bend too much durin my confinement..coz the babycot my FIL bought was too low..
my grandma told mi to lie as much as i can,which i didnt..
there was 1 time durin my confinement where i cant even move at all due to the back pain..had to paste salonpas everyday..
mayb bathin wif hot water not so bad..coz due to some circumstances, i had to use cold water at times..
n yes if u reali dun bath n eat all the confinement food, u wil definitely be more healthy after confinement n ur face wil haf radiance..dat is wat my mum told mi..
im quite choosy in food..so i din reali lke the confinement food..
so my confinement was reali a failure..
if i were to do it again..i wil definitely listen to the elders..

i'm in my confinement period now abt 2 weeks odd already. Manage to neg to wash hair on the 12th day n every Sat after tht till full moon.

 

[Working mummySG]

I do, just cannot stand being sticky and smelly as I tbf my baby that time.

I did a quick shower with Dai Feng Chao herbs and warm water, wash my hair with regular shampoo and blow dry.

For me, i tahan for 2 weeks and i bath cos my mate told me, dear, ur hair smell really bad... :err: LOL so no choice a quick bath with dai feng chao too and wash my hair quickly twice for the confinement mth. My 1st attempt, I got bad headache for almost 30mins so got to be careful mummies! Must do wash hair after ur bath and do it during sunny afternoon. so it quick!

I can tahan for 2 weeks maybe cos is during Nov time so weather nt too bad. :wong19:

Hi Mommies,

I feel that it is up to individual body and logical way to up-keep our health and hgyiene... to me it makes sense to bath with warm water and blow dry our hair straight after... one will feel more refreshing and it helps mommies who bf their babies to feel more comfortable and hence it will not affect our milk production. I guess confinement food plays a vital role in confinement cos it is treatment from within... aclohol definitely helps your body to recover fast... but do it the right way... drink a small cup straight after you've bf or brew it with chicken... tat's my 2cents :shyxxx:
