yeah...the no wash hair part is very hard to do..but its suppose to do something with not getting "wind" into her head...if she washes her hair too early she will have headache when older
and CP, you mention about not sleeping with your wife because she is dirty/oily? HA HA,..with a newborn you will hardly be sleeping AT ALL
but I have to agree "sit month" is very important...eventhough I don't listen to every rule my aunties give me. but it does make a big difference in the recovery. For my first baby, I took a shower in the hospital (the nurses told me to) and also I went out to buy diapers the day I got out of the hospital..ended up with a very slow recovery....
this time, I refused to take a shower in the hospital and didn't take one until 4-5 days later. Also I didn't go out until a week later and my body recovered 50% faster
also, the first time I didn't eat all the foods I was supposed to...and this time I ate everything I should and cut out everything I shouldn't (no cold foods) and now I am almost fully recovered (3 weeks after my c-section)
so..."sit month" DOES make a big difference. If you want your wife's body to be strong, make sure she follows at least some of the rules her elders might give her
Actually from the tv show, the star said that she got one of those African braces for her hair, and she would rub it a few times a day with rubbing alcohol…. And also she used hot water with ginger? Or herbs? To wipe her body a few times a day...all done in a very warm room....
she didn’t go out and had all those Chinese herb soup for a month…. although it sounds crazy but if u do the math, it’s totally worth it~~ one month of suffering but healthy body for life~~
BTW, congratulations to all you new/soon to be mom + dads~~ ^^

Hello, would you be able to give the contact info of the 鐘點 you recommended? I am looking for a 鐘點 to clean my apartment once every other week. Than you v much!
if you type in 月子餐 at google.com.tw, you will find lot of 食譜. from day 1 to 1 mth.
here is the basic idea.
第一週:(第一天至第七天): 本週為平補週,不宜大補特補,也不可以吃麻油類料理。
第二週:(第八天至第十四天)本週為-溫補週‧以麻油或茶油料理。
第三週及第四週 :(第十五天至滿月)本週為-熱補週~滿月,以全酒或麻油料理。
in the old days, you shouldn't wash your hair for a mth. b/c they don't have hair dryer ma. now a day, just make sure you dry your hair asap.
if you don't really wash your hair, you can get some dry cleaning product from the korean/taiwenese hair products store. clean your hair without water.
you can find a helper from the chinese newspaper, reasonable price but mostly are cash only.
