During my wife's confinement, how should we run the house so she can truly rest?

The purpose of confinement is to give the mother space to recover fully, so run the house so that she rests, not just moves to a different workplace. Plan ahead: arrange help with cooking and cleaning, whether from the husband, family, or paid services if you can afford them. The husband should ideally take leave in the first weeks if possible. Set turns for caring for the baby so your wife can sleep without interruption. Limit visitors who tire her out and do not burden her with entertaining them. Prepare nutritious food to restore her energy. Make this period an investment in your wife's long-term health, not a time when she is left to struggle alone. See responsibilities of husband and wife.
