A confinement lady earns a good income today. I think, is mainly
due to the quality of life required by the good income group. I
have been a confinement lady for a month. Oh! is not an easy job.
I seldom take care of the baby. Most of the time , is the brain that's
busy. I think of various delicious and nutritious food to crave the
appetite of the young mom.
Today I like to publish some of the confinement food I cooked.
Is mainly for my own satisfaction.
