Traditional Chinese Medicine & Postpartum Care

The first few weeks postpartum can be a joyful, yet challenging time. Not only do you need to nurture your little one, but you, as well. In the Chinese tradition of Zuo Yue Zi (sitting the month), new mothers stay home and rest for a full 30 to 40 days after their new bundle arrives, while grandmas and other family relatives take over all daily household tasks. The mom’s only jobs are to rest, recover and feed her baby. How amazing does this sound?!
