The Bridge to China

Is the Chinese postpartum tradition of ‘Sitting the Month’ going global?


Listen Later

Here comes a new trend in the west with ancient Chinese roots: taking a month for the mother to heal and to bond with the new baby. An article on CNN in May identifies the new modern shape of China’s tradition of a new mother taking time off in cozy comfort with support from family and hired help, with fancy herbal brews and massages thrown in to boot. How does the ancient tradition of ‘Zuo Yue Zi’ take maternity leave into a new future with BeiBei and Jason.
