hey autumnfall, dont need be so gan cheong to take fenugreek.. once u deliver and baby feed on your breast milk more, the supply will come when there is demand and of course your diet, drinking fish and papaya soup will help boost supply. fenugreek and the tea is only when your baby don't feed then u have to trick your body to produce more milk. best way is still to get baby to feed more on u and u will naturally produce more milk.

Actually he finds it hard to believe in our Chinese confinement... Only because the westerners don't have a problem and they don't even do it, but my husband thinks ultimately, it is up to me 
I won't follow it strictly.. I plan on going out too. The no shower thing I probably will do for like 3 days! Haha. You?

Alag, Same here ! My husband doesn't believe that avoiding water for 1 mth after childbirth can help to prevent rheumatism. He feel unhygienic but also leave the final decision to me.
I was thinking of doing 20 days instead of 30. Thereafter touch water/shower/wash hair as per normal. Because cant wait to bathe baby & change her diapers myself ASAP!! Hehe.
Autumn fall, CC auntie told me to soak the herbs in a bucket of freshly boiled water with some warm tap water. :S jialat.. how come different ?
So it is better to use all boiled water and must be cooled ones to prevent aches ?
You very super!! 3 days no bath n 7 days no shampoo ? You not planning to use dry shampoo for that 7 days too?
I'm thinking of using dry shampoo daily (alternate if I can) then rinse lightly with the herbal bath water occasionally... Or is it use dry shampoo also not good for us ? Recently weather so so hot!! I scared my hair become oily fast..
And all mummies not intending to shower at the hospital after birth ? I just bought toiletries for myself to include in my hospital bag. In case during delivery sweat too much and also dirty from all the blood then can take a quick hot one. Or is it better no shower at all ? How you all planning to wash your face and teeth at the hospital ?

Ok, I have added everyone to my own fb account already so it should be easy to invite you to the group!

But nowadays, I think it's a miracle to do the full confinement period! My girls at work told me never to use the dry shampoo because it makes the hair a lot worst..

Your mum is so modern !!! Initially my mum tell me strictly no water at all for 30 days. Not even with the confinement herbs! Madness!! She keep emphasizing on the importance of confinement. She has aches all over frequently now and feel its a result of her not doing a proper one last time. So I just try to follow as much as I can ba...
I bought dry shampoo already.
Worse as in make hair more itchy/oily is it?

Yeah, I am quite lucky my mom is not imposing things I don't really want to do. Only thing she wants me to try is to take herbs after birth.. So I'd do that cause I like herbal soups!
Three of them said with the second kid, they used the dry shampoo and it made their hair dry and had dandruff, when it was their first kid, they didn't use it and it was fine. So for subsequent births, they didn't bother with the dry shampoo and they said the hair had no problem too. So I think I won't buy it. I will try to wash my hair when I leave the hospital already... So no issues for me!
