Surprised my hus with his favourite drink before dinner. It wasn't a sumptuous meal as I didn't know what I can eat outside that's confinement-ish so I just had hor fun which was simply delish! Hahaha!!
Other confinement myths that I've busted which so far didn't cause me any health issues:
1) Bathing - I know some ladies are stringent and some follow the rule of not bathing for one month, but I CANNOT abide my that, as the weather's too hot! In fact, truth be told, I've been bathing TWICE every day.
2) Traditional confinement food - I don't know what's confinement food. To me, it's just loads of ginger and red dates tea. That's my main meals for lunch and dinner. As for bfast, I usually have half boiled eggs or cornflakes. My grandma did mention that I should avoid cold drinks, so for cornflakes, I'll have hot milk instead of the one from the carton. So I have no idea what's confinement bfast.
3) Sleeping in aircon room - Old wife tales said that the confinement lady shouldn't be exposed to wind. But no, hus and I would still on the aircon if the weather is too hot, and my daughter sleeps extremely well in the aircon room too.
So these are some of the confinement myths that I didn't abide. I'm not sure if my body will suffer 10yrs later, maybe I'll blog about the aftermath 10yrs down the road.
This is my happy baby for now:
Leia says good night for now! Ciao!
