Hello my beloveds,

As many of you knows I am a Filipino & honestly I really wonder what foods you are eating during confinement. I believe I also experienced bathing with herbal things when I gave birth 4 years ago but I was allowed to eat & drink anything.

I am on TTC mode so I wish to follow confinement rules for my no. 2 this time.

Thanks
Mae:)

Dearie, oh my 2nd confinement was so enjoyable!!! Heeheehee..

Our confinement aunty is so nice and a great cook!!

Food are:
Pig trotter
Meat with many kind of gingers
Peanut, pork ribs soup
Vegetables with ginger
Fish
Mee sua with xo, meat, veg and ginger
Wanton mee
Mee Hoon Kuey
Sandwiches
Tonic soup
Chicken/meat stew

~ many many more.. :red:

My mom, hb and ds eat what i eat and put on 3kg!!!! :tlaugh:

All the above are cooked in confinement style.. Ginger and dome the key ingredients of them.. But dome added only 2th week onwards as 1st week, our bodies still clearing blood..

Beverages:
Red dates, longan drink
Milo
Essence of Chicken (once at breakfast)

1st week, other dates added to the red dates drink to help clear the
blood..

Bathing part, the herbal water is boiled then left overnight then reheat early next morning (6am).. When cool to warm temperature, use it to bathe and wash hair..

Thank GOD for a superb confinement aunty, cried when she left.. She's really a great help.. I was a Queen for the 28 days!!! :tlaugh:

If you are breastfeeding, you CANNOT drink a normal big cup of DOM. What you can do is after your night feeding, drink a tiny cup, the kind of measuring cup that comes with Yomeishu. It's safe to drink DOM once a night if you are breastfeeding.

Oh yes, it tastes awful!!!!! But when our CL persistantly told me all the benefits of it and that I suffered quite alot as I din do well in the 1st time and she so kind and patient to sit beside me and serve the biscuit, I obediently drink lo.. heehee.. :Dancing_wub: She kept saying "pls dun waste $$$.. Since u do confinement, do it well n proper.. When I leave youo, you'll be all alone by urself to take care of the 2, u need strength, etc etc.." Cheers to this good CL!!! Miss her and her kindness and her food!!!! :tlaugh:

Ya agree.. Cook chicken or meat with Dome.. Sweet and tasty!! :Dancing_tongue:

Try essense of chicken.. Share with u my special way of taking it.. I love eggs.. All kinds of cooking it.. I prepare soft boil eggs and pour essense of chicken into the eggs and eat it, no need salt and sources.. Our CL sharing this style of eating to all she serves now.. heeehee.. My hb and mom eeeeeeee alot but that's my favourite man.. During prenancy and confinement.. :red:

Add red dates and wolfberries to soup or dishes.. A good tonic for blood replenishment.. :Dancing_wub: Milo is good for energy too!!!

Rinse and soak in hot water for 20 minutes then drink, nice and helps blood replenishment + clear oil and improve complexion.. I long time forgotten this le but u prompt me to remember.. :Dancing_tongue: Tks, LoVeS!!!
