Postpartum care in China - Sitting the Month

If you DON'T speak Chinese, please switch on the subtitles! Most of this video is in mandarin Chinese only. I'm sorry for updating sparsly lately, but since a couple of weeks back I do unfortunately not have wifi at home. I am instead relying on free public wifi, whenever I can get my hands on that. And it's usually suuuper slow. // SITTING THE MONTH!? // Sitting the month is a Chinese postpartum tradition. When a woman has just given birth, she is then supposed to rest for a month. How this month of rest plays out varies between families and regions, but in this video Yating explains how she's doing it - when the video was filmed she had been sitting the month for three weeks. Some basics that you'll find everywhere in China is that you're not supposed to leave the house (come call it postpartum confinement...), that you need to rest, that you shouls avoid anything cold, and always keep warm. There are also usually postpartum diets, in Yating's case that consisted of a lot of soup, and eating non-spicy and milder flavours only. The postpartum care, is often done by the husband and his parents, but in Yating's case her own parents were there caring for her. They were there to cook, clean and just help out for the whole month. As you will see, Yating's way of sitting the month seems quite healthy and nice - but there are some horror stories out there. Last year there was new about a young woman who died while sitting the month. She had been forced to stay wrapped up in her bed without any air conditioner during summer. And eventually her inner organs couldn't take it and she passed away. I have also heard about mothers who have been forced to rest, also from caring for their own baby - and hence were barely allowed to touch their baby during the whole first month.
