you wont understand it now, but you will be thankful next time when you don’t have rheumatism at a later age!

Wow -I had never heard of anything like this! Fascinating (and yes I agree not showering for 30-40 does not sound appealing).

From what I’ve heard, 40 days confinement is for delivering multiples or giving birth through c-section.

Bee, parabéns pelo seu bebê. Agora, com 3 meses de idade, ele deve estar uma gracinha.
Também passei pelo confinamento na ocasião do nascimento de minha filha mais velha. Mas não sei fazer as comidas “quentes”, de confinamento. Sugiro que você faça um tópico com receitas de confinamento. Assim manteremos a tradição para futuras gerações.

Congratulations Bee! I haven’t checked this website for a while and am really glad to hear about your good news – better late than never rite? :)I am due in a few weeks and am feeling rather anxious about this confinement business. Having said that I have been on restricted diet due to gestational diabetes so very much looking forward to being able to eat all the yummy Malaysian food again with rice as I am not allowed to have very much rice at all with the diabetes.

Please do post up some interesting and yummy confinement recipes when you can.

Hope you are enjoying motherhood and congrats again!

To follow strictly to the rules during confinement is only applicable to Southern China’s climate which is extremely humid & damp during Spring and cold during Winter. Since most of us overseas Chinese came from Guangdong & Fujian, that’s why our ancestors carried the rituals with them. I’m pretty sure not all of us need to follow it strictly because most parts of world are not as humid and damp as the climate in South China.
