The concept of Chinese confinement -- “zuo yue zi,” or “sitting the month”-- is when a new mother stays at home for one month to allow her body to rest after giving birth.
You cannot carry heavy things. You should sleep more. No working. No household chores. And the list goes on as Carol Chan explained her postpartum instructions for new mom Taylor Richard. Chan is a “pui yuet,” also called a confinement nanny, who lives with families after a baby is born. She prepares meals and herbal medicines, takes care of the baby and provides guidance on being a new mother.
“Having someone take care of my body and gently guide me through my transition into motherhood made for a very positive beginning of my baby’s life. I’m forever grateful for Carol!” Richard was the first Western mother whom Chan cared for in her 12-year career. But since Richard’s YouTube video went viral, Chan said she’s gotten calls from Westerners asking for her services from as far away as the United States and United Kingdom.
