Alethea, my mum helping me, but she needs to work in the day, so most of the time will be me and the maids.
I'm not getting CL cos of the cost plus the trouble of having to look for one during that period of time.
My mum mapped out the work that needs to be done and we have worked it out:
My mum's maid:
- in charge of household work
- in charge of cleaning adult's clothes and cooking the rest of the family's food
My maid:
- in charge of cooking my food
- in charge of helping out with baby's care (sterilise bottles/clean baby's clothes/etc)
My mum:
- in charge of marketing
- help out my maid with cooking for me
Me:
- look after baby
- rest and recover
CL is mainly just to help you cook and look after babies. If use disposable diapers, actually got pretty much nothing left for her to do if you got maid.
If you getting maid, just make sure you train your maid well before babies' arrival
Then you should be able to cope during confinement with or without CL.
My maid now learning at my neighbour's place. She learnt how to cook alot of confinement foods already (v yummy!!) and learn how to look after new born. She seems to enjoy looking after the baby cos I see she is v comfy with being alone with the baby.
