Confinement in a HDB — practical tips for keeping the peace

Just completed my 28-day confinement in a 4-room HDB and wanted to share what made it survivable. 1. Air-con is non-negotiable. Ignore anyone who says no air-con. 2. Tell neighbours in advance about the baby — most were supportive. 3. Confinement herbal baths: we used a portable tub in the toilet. 4. Confinement nanny sleeping arrangement: we set up a foldable bed in the living room. She was fine with it. 5. Limit visitors to 2 per day maximum. Your mental health depends on it. What tips would you add for HDB confinement?
