Speaking of "confinement", it refers to the process of women's postpartum recovery. Many people think that women in every part of the world will be confined for postpartum recovery, but with the rise of the Internet, everyone finds that confinement seems to be a characteristic of China and a few Asian countries, and many people begin to say that "women in Europe and the United States are in good health and strong, they don't need confinement, and they feel that confinement is a waste of time and a weak performance", so what do foreigners think about this?
This is a 33-year-old Canadian mother who shared a video of her postpartum experience in Hong Kong on the Internet, and the Chinese aunt who took care of her listed the requirements for "no heavy lifting, more rest, no housework, no hair washing, no bathing, no eating raw and cold food, etc."
The whole video records most of the process from the beginning of the postpartum hospital to the end of confinement, the aunt prepared an authentic confinement meal for her to help her recover, she also introduced China's conditioning of yin and yang, confinement culture and confinement center, etc., and said that the most important thing is to have the company of family and take care of everything about the mother's body after childbirth. What do the foreigners in the comment area think?
"The United States takes notes, we American mothers are all driven to work after giving birth, and we have to hope for the help of our families to get this kind of care"
"The aunt who takes care of you is a jack of all trades, she can basically be a nurse, a masseur, a lactation consultant, a spa, and a professional chef"
"Imagine being helped by a professional to indeed recover from post-production, there is so much to learn in the West, thank you for the video"
"To be honest, it's a civilized and progressive experience, in England things are much more barbaric, you are kicked out of the hospital almost immediately after giving birth, and no one pays attention to your postpartum recovery as a new mother, and that's where we should learn."
With the strength of the country, the Chinese people are also examining their own culture, maybe we don't need so much "reflection", some of the things left by the ancestors have indeed undergone historical precipitation and screening.
