Golden Month Postpartum Package
The Golden Month is one of the names the Chinese use for the four to six weeks following childbirth, also known as Zuo yuezi which means ’sitting out the month’ or ‘confinement’. It reflects the intentions of Chinese culture that this will be an enriching time for the new mother and a period of celebration for the whole family. The mother rests and is given special care and food until she feels fully recovered. She is the focus of attention and celebrated for her gift of bringing a child to the family.
Our Golden Month Postpartum Package is a nutrient dense offering of broths, soups, congee and elixirs which recognises that good postpartum nutrition can make an enormous difference to the experience a mother has in her Golden Month and her ability to recover well. The four main requirements from the diet after delivery and which we address through our offering are:
- Replace lost blood and nutrients
- Repair damaged tissue and heal the uterus and vagina
- Support breastfeeding
- Provide warmth for the body
