Confinement is not about lying on the bed for a month. It is recommended the new mum to stay at home to avoid getting cold. In fact, staying at home, not washing hair and taking a bath are restrictions mainly in ancient times. In the old days, homes did not have air-conditioning and good sanitation facilities. The infant mortality rate was high in the past. People tended to adopt a more stringent control method. For breastfeeding the baby, the new mum is still recommended not eating cold and spicy food, trying to supplement with healthy food for the sake of baby's health.
I have been watching your videos for over a year now. Glad that your baby boy is coming soon! One important piece of advice I would give out is that you guys need to rest/sleep more. Life with a baby is so much different, constantly waking up in the middle of the night, etc. My baby boy was born in March, and the first month was the hardest for me and my wife.
not only in China, many people in different countries practice monthly confinement too but in different methods. of course some old Chinese traditional ways can be abandoned e.g. not washing hair/taking shower, which are only for ancient time.
We called it confinement month in Malaysia and it has been in practice for Malays, Indians & Chinese. I believed there is scientific reason behind, such as it may require such long duration for postpartum recovery especially uterus. Generally, that could also be the secret that Asian’s women aged slower.
Jay have no idea about shower/wash hair thing. woman are very weak and vulnerable after having baby, if you are not carefully look after yourself in this period you may suffer health problem for your life time. you can shower or wash hair but with caution, rule # is avoid cold water and cold wind, also try use ginger warm water will help. everyone know if you got a flu, drink hot water or hot ginger water will top it get worse. 传统坐月子不能洗头的原因：以前家里条件差，水温和室温不能很好的控制，再有可能漏风，如果吹到头可能会留下头痛的月子病。以前没有自来水、纯净水。洗头用的水都是河水或井水，水中细菌和寄生虫较多，对身体影响比较大。 月子里不能洗澡, 否则日后经常全身疼痛。因为产妇在分娩后全身皮肤的毛孔和骨缝都张开了，加之气血两虚，如果在月子里洗澡，就会使风寒侵袭体内，并滞留于肌肉和关节中，导致周身气血凝滞，流通不畅，日后出现月经不调、身体关节和肌肉疼痛。
It is very important to recover from birth in Ancient time without modern technology like air-condition, because giving birth does huge damage to woman's body. It takes time to recover and easy to catch disease during that period. For example, Taking shower in Ancient time, especially winter is potentially dangerous for the Mom. As long as you make sure the room is warm and hair dry with hot air, there is no issue with shower in modern day.
After labour mother will undergo confinement for a month at home . She will be fed with nourishment tonic to regain her health after given birth as mother tends to loose quite some amount of nutrients during pregnancy. Without confinement mother will tend to be weak and age faster
Hong Kongers may not follow tightly to Chinese traditions for what to do in the first sitting month. But I would strongly recommend a few "MUST". Like for reason for not washing hair or taking bath is that after giving birth, the body is weak, while the skin pores are big. In old days, the water were from wells, and the shower room was not protected from wind, so the "coolness" would harm the weak body. Nowadays we don't use well water and we have closed shower room, but since the skin pores are still big to make new mothers get cold, so Ari and Mei Mei should pay attention to avoid cold. I used ginger water (薑煲水去除寒氣) for washing hair and bath. Then use hair dryer until hair are all dried (防止頭入風) Secondly, Ari and mei mei should eat 煲薑醋豬腳雞蛋 and 煮雞酒(your husband may search how to make from TH-cam) after the first 12 days (生育後12日未清惡露，千萬不要進補，否則會持續流血)，大約12朝(i.e. 12 days) 便清惡露，便必須必須必須(重要事重覆三次)進補！每日吃營養食物+either豬腳薑蛋or雞酒，直至滿月。 如果12朝至滿月的進補錯過了，之後再進補也沒有用。
全程姨夫笑看完，期待看到Jay和Ari的男宝宝，还有妹妹妹夫的宝宝，祝两位孕妈孕期快乐，生产顺利~
其實早期孕婦在坐月子期間的種種限制與忌諱, 最終目的在於保護孕婦不生病能好好哺乳養護身體. 最常被談論的不洗頭, 洗澡. 主要是古早居家沒有空調與好的衛生設備, 深怕吹風受寒生病, 而且以前嬰兒夭折率算高的, 所以採取較為嚴控的作法, 而今各項設備皆具, 是可以做這些, 但是不喝冰冷食物卻是深得人心的做法.
二种人坐月子，一是在家宣誓娇贵主权，二是活在裹小脚女人的旧时状态。

坐月不是躺在床一個月的，只是在這個月好好調理身體而已😅
兩姐妹一看就知道是such good people- 面由心生
現代醫學反而鼓勵產後要多"走" 動～這樣幫助三排，排泄/排汗/排毒～但做月子是非常需要的，產後媽咪的營養耗損大，產婦手冊建議每天應增加約500卡的熱量，以利修復傷口、泌乳、以及哺乳，所以產後坐月子應好好休養、補充營養、及與寶寶培養感情。
时间过得真快！关注你们的频道快要一年了、你们也要迎来第一个宝宝了、真心替你们感到开心！😂😂
感覺杰娶了一個中國胃太太，杰做飯歡喜太太吃著開心。真是幸福的一對❤
傑錯誤的誤導，坐月子不是在床上躺一個月，而是坐月期間要盡量留在家里以免受風，吃喝都要為BB著想，產後要餵人奶，不要吃生冷及辛辣食物，盡量補充生產而消耗的體能等等等😊
他做这种文化科普，应该去查一下，很容易被外国人误会！加上加拿大模特做月子的那个视频介绍就完美了！
没错，这样真的很容易让别人误会，也许在几十年前因为生活条件的原因，有些地区冬天家里没有热水，所以不能用凉水洗头，现在家家户户有热水，生完了早就可以洗头洗澡了。他这样的介绍真的太片面，很败好感。
是的，我也覺得他說得有點誤導了，現在也沒這麼誇張的坐月子。
坐月子要出外还是可以的。主要是不要淋雾水，早上如非出去不可就要遮伞。
坐月子躺一个月肯定是误导了要打屁屁
四川菜辣辣辣椒
妹妹真是漂亮
相信我、當年我生大女兒時（36年前）在法國醫院直接產後洗頭洗澡、在英國生完二女兒時也直接洗頭洗澡、我認識的許多女性朋友都是如此、個人的清潔衛生很重要、更何況媽媽需照顧剛出生的嬰兒、一個月不梳洗實在不能想像、希望Jay能解釋給西方家人和朋友一個月不梳洗是舊時代的錯誤觀念、東方人其實是非常注重乾淨和良好衛生習慣、我的英國老公也極為讚賞我們
现在中国的年轻人大部分都按照妇产医院的建议，产后照常洗头洗澡。但部分推崇“传统”的，部分有迷信的父母长辈在身边伺候月子的，还难免坐月子之苦。有些无厘头的传统，越快抛掉越好。毕竟，人是从猴子变来的，我们保有了多少猴子的传统呢？
因為在以前無吹髮器，及暖爐，故此才會不洗頭及洗澡，現在應該不需要這樣，因為不舒服。
我的舅媽在三十幾年前也是生了孩子就馬上洗頭, 可能是沒有馬上吹乾, 頭進風了, 後來一直到現在都經常會偏頭痛, 很辛苦的. 現在的人也可能會在生孩子幾天就洗頭, 但是是用薑水來洗, 而且是馬上吹乾, 這樣就沒有什麼問題.
外國人沒有坐月子習慣，所以產後會老的更快，體力會更虛，我覺得每次生產都是一次母體改變體質的機會，如果照顧不好，各方面包含缺鈣缺鐵等狀況會更嚴重，一些過敏體質尤甚，還是好好的休養一個月最好，至於不能洗頭，某些層面是身體不能受涼，所以如果在溫暖、熱水、迅速吹乾的情況下，應該是可以洗
笑死我了
@@dustin7734笑什么❓
老也可能种就这样吧 白种人很看老
没错我觉得你说的有道理
其實坐月不是指一個月在床上的, 是指這個月不要動太多, 也吃一些進補的東西, 令身體RECOVER 好些....之後身體也不會有太多病痛
感觉每次妹妹和妹夫都特别捧场Jay的中餐😀

哈哈哈。现在做月子也是洗澡的，过去不洗澡估计是生活条件没那末好，家里不能洗澡。现在这会怀孕时做适合运动。生产后除了不能碰凉水其他都会和过去不同啦😂
好替Jay and Ari 開心又緊張，快要到小baby 出生嘅時候！留心Ari 食物不能太多辣的，我想這對baby可能太濕熱吧！坐月也要讓Ari 食補身食物。好奇Jay 會唔會煮豬腳薑醋呢？

坐月子老一輩的方式可以做一些修改，可以洗澡洗頭，但一定要用熱水洗，頭洗好就用吹風機熱風吹乾，古早是沒有這麼方便，水龍頭一開就有熱水，也沒有吹風機可用，我外甥女今年42歳九月生的，我姊那時做月子就是一個月沒洗頭，結果做完月子大量掉髮，至今頭髮稀疏。
我相信就因為工作沒有認真坐月子，目前身體很差！
@@Maggie-dx5kr 是的，真的要把月子做足做滿，我老婆生孩子前，冬天都手腳冰冷，産後月子做完，手腳冰冷的狀況就消失了，莊淑旂－台灣首位女性漢醫博士，曾在老三台時，某個電視節目中提過，生二胎把月子做好，可以補回第一胎做月子的不足。
如果您還年輕，經濟上還也能負擔，可以考慮再生一個寶寶，當然還是要先去找合格中醫師諮詢一下，確定如我前面所說，再考慮看看，最後願冥冥中的存在，保佑您身體一天好過一天
can't wait to see little Jay, 恭喜恭喜 喜得贵子🥰
7 months!! 2 months to go! We all excited~~🤩
坐月不是坐監为什麼jay不解釋清楚坐月是吃湯水,保身子,是為媽着想,不要太忘辛苦,有多些營養餵孩子,媽媽好孩子才好,有些是開刀更需多些時間休息

月子里应该正常饮食，视情况适当增加饮水和蛋白摄入。切忌大吃大喝，以免产奶困难且产后肥胖。老的坐月子思维不可取。

坐月子，不至于真的不离床啦。保暖就好。其实不洗头不洗澡更不好。产后汗腺，等等的分泌，都会更多，还是要干净清爽，最舒服啦😊

不是不洗頭！用曬干薑皮煲水後待和暖，！洗完頭用它來沖洗後再吹干，之後整個人感覺微暖很舒服！
一边是过分担心，一边是过分不担心。不过坐月子不是只躺在床上，而是不能出门，不用坐任何家务。还有洗头洗澡，以现在的条件一般几天后就可以洗了，但是不要太勤洗，空调不能直接吹，温度也不能太低
孕婦可以運動，但跑步機盡量勿使用，很危險，因為懷孕動作反應不是很敏銳，所以那是不安全的，祝福你，平安生產，迎接帥小哥。
I am very wonder that Jay can cook many of the Chinese foods, Are you a chef before? How did you do that.
我觉得体现了jay对妻子满满的爱吧，他妻子只用品尝就可以了！
现在中国新的坐月子方式是可以洗澡的，在月子中心或者家里，会让你用煮沸过的姜水放到合适温度，洗澡洗头的。
看起来好壮嘿嘿😁
以前一些传统的习惯，其实可以用科学的方式来解释。以前卫生医疗条件比现在差很多，现在看来的小病痛也可能产生大影响，这些习俗其实都是为了保护产妇。换做现在“不洗头”可以理解为要避免着凉（没办法吹干），“不洗澡”可以理解为避免感染（水质不过关、用河水海水等），“躺一个月”可以理解为休息调整身体（不可以劳动、田里干活）。
这是最有意义的中美文化讨论，温馨

Both Miss Ari and her sister are surprised with the birth traditions of Chinese.
I have seen and heard this procedure in Hong Kong too.
It is very important to recover from birth in Ancient time without modern technology like air-condition, because giving birth does huge damage to woman's body. It takes time to recover and easy to catch disease during that period.
For example, Taking shower in Ancient time, especially winter is potentially dangerous for the Mom. As long as you make sure the room is warm and hair dry with hot air, there is no issue with shower in modern day.
After labour mother will undergo confinement for a month at home . She will be fed with nourishment tonic to regain her health after given birth as mother tends to loose quite some amount of nutrients during pregnancy. Without confinement mother will tend to be weak and age faster
不能洗头洗澡其实是早期留下来的， 因为没有吹风机、浴霸这些东西，产后妈妈身体都比较弱，容易感冒，然后留下病疾，现在其实感觉影响已经不大了。
恭喜！
坐月子是 sitting month？
不是 confinement 吗？
坐月我的理解是产后会通过各种食物进补来滋润身体，比如猪脚姜之类的，还有就是好好修养一个月，应该不是躺床上什么都不干吧，起码在广东是这样，吓坏Ari了，哈哈哈
