Should the mother and the newborn go through a confinement period of 40 days as dictated by tradition?
A. The newborn and the mother are both prone to infection. In the olden days antibiotics and other such cures were not available, so a confinement period was the only way to combat infection. Though now there are enough medicines to take care of infections there is still no harm in being cautious by keeping the mother and the newborn away from infections.
