Confinement is a traditional practice in many cultures that involves a period of rest and recovery for new mums after pregnancy. It is believed that this time is necessary for the body to heal and for the mum to bond with her new baby. Confinement practices vary widely across cultures, reflecting traditional beliefs and customs. Looking now, new mums can choose to spend their confinement period in confinement centres or at home with a confinement ladies or confinement nanny.
