What is Chinese Confinement?

Chinese confinement, also known as "zuo yuezi" (坐月子), is a traditional postpartum practice followed by many women in Chinese culture. The term "zuo yuezi" translates to "sitting the month," referring to a period of about one month after childbirth.  During which new mothers follow a strict regimen to restore their health and ensure long-term well-being. This practice is deeply rooted in Chinese medicine and cultural beliefs about the body's recovery process after the physical and emotional exertion of childbirth.
