Iām seeing a lot of comments about the āno cryingā šš hereās more on that:
In the past Mothers weāre told to rest their eyes so no reading, crying (nowadays the strict traditional pui yuets will say no screens). It stems from traditional Chinese medicine and the belief that the liver is linked to the eyes. Itās said that the large loss of blood during childbirth may weaken the eyes because blood is related to the Liver. We didnāt follow this rule, I believe most donāt nowadays, but things like goji berries were a big part of my diet to help with eye health.
Carol is top notch. What a great support. She appears to love her job and responsibility.
Im 7 months pregnant and I cried my eyes out when Carol left .. I totally understand the emotions you had having someone take care of you during postpartum.. itās very important to have good people around you during that time.. I would totally do it ā¤ļø
If itās bitter. Use a straw so your mouth wonāt taste it. Goes straight to the throat

Well done x carol was amazing, looking after you and baby thank you
I had a c-section and did this one month confinement, i hated at first since it felt like being a prison but i can say that it was worth it looking back, i ābounced ā back and i bonded with my child more than my friends who had kids and didnāt recovered after giving birth
Wow and we literally have none of this in the U.S. of course. Gotta love the number one country in the world amirite
I live in Canada and my son is eight and half months. I would have loooved to have that postpartum experience, just watching you I could feel so many benefits from it! Thank you so much for sharing your journey, that woman has such a peaceful and calm energy, I've never met her but I love her! If she ever comes to Canada I'll try to match my second pregnancy with her traveling š¤£ Your little boy is beautiful ā¤ā¤ā¤
Taylor, You are strong and beautiful and… Real. How refreshing. Thank you for sharing your journey. What a beautiful family! (I'm now off to buy a case of black sesame seeds. Gonna toss those things on everaaaythang.)
I love this video! Thank you for sharing your experience. I had just given birth back in Jan and had been dreading confinement. However after going through it, I realized how much all women who have just given birth needs it. It was so healing and My body felt great after!
Menwhile in the US: woman gives birth.
Her job after a few weeks: Sooo you're good to come back full time now, right?
Thank you so much for sharing with us Taylor. This was so helpful, interesting and heartwarming. Much love and blessings to your family and to Carol! Couldnāt help but cry at the end too xx
This video is amazing! Thank you for putting so much time and care into it. It's really eye-opening to see how much other cultures value caring for women after birth, while it feels so neglected in the West. I am definitely going to invest in wrapping when I have kids!
So glad you didnāt give up on breastfeeding š¤ sadly some women give up just after a few days or weeks because they didnāt have the support & encouragement.. super happy for you and baby!
I don't have any children but I think if I did I'd probably try most of this. I'm not really sure if I'd feel comfortable having someone a massage my chest . probably do too weird drama but anyways yeah stuff seems pretty good.
I would 1000% do this, I had a doula during pregnancy, and for a few weeks after, but a whole month either someone to help heal me. I needed that desperately. I wish I knew about this. but here in the states we call a post partum doula.
You Taylor are such a beautiful soul and your son is very blessed to have both of you as parents. May you all live very long, happy, healthy lives surrounded by love and laughter. šš
I loooove learning with every video I watch from u. Thank you for bringing others cultures to me I could never get to know otherwise.
can you breathe?
oh she didn't say what the hell through any of this I have no idea?
oh good lord yeah I think I'd opt for Korea
Left HK when I was very little so most of what's in the video is very new to me. Good to learn something about my heritage.
I was really fascinated by the aspects of Chinese medicine and made me want to read about it. This was such a beautiful video
In Greece it's the first 40 days after birth that mother and baby are supposed to stay at home and rest. It's expected that some female family member will move in for that time and take care of the household. Usually it's the mother, but it can also be a sister or another family member.
You're so fortunate š„°
