I'm chinese. I don't stay at home the whole 30 days but I do stay at home more than normal during that period. I do eat confinement food though. I washed my hair and bathed at the hospital the day after I delivered. Felt icky with all that dried blood on my legs. I however, made sure I blow dried my hair after each wash which was daily. My MIL told me not to touch tap water but I continued to do so as I had to bath my 2nd child myself from the 3rd day on. So far, I'm fine. No migraines, no aching fingers or bones except for a backache I get once a year due to an existing back injury. I guess it's all up to each individual in what they believe in.
