Confined!
Think being an Asian woman is tough, besides having to battle with baby issues in the first month, we have to be confined and go thru the formalities of confinement, it's such A PAIN!
i defiantly
- bathe (in super warm/hot herb water in hot afternn) everyday tho both mum & nanny drew the line at washing hair.- wore sleeveless top & short shorts cos its so hot!
- blow fan directly at me- carried & potter stuff around the room
- bend/squat/lie up and down when i like iton the other hand, I obediently
- wore bedroom slippers so i wouldnt touch the cold floor- eat confinement food (which was yummy so bearable)
- not wash my hair for a few days- not eat CNY goodies
- not eat 'cooling' food- drink ONLY red date water & milo/ovaltine ( and to drink it sitting down! cannot stand)
-wash my face/hands in warm boiled waterManaging the nanny can also add to the stress as dealing with a stranger in the house and being the control freak, i seek to know why and what she's doing to my baby constantly, even at night..adding to my lack of sleep. No wonder people sacked their nannies...BUT i must admit some help is better than no help, and gradually i relied on her to do most stuff & let go of the control freak nature in me, however she has inculcated all the wrong sleeping habits to baby.
