Welcoming new life is a blessing, but for many Chinese mothers living in Canada, the first month after giving birth is often the most challenging time.
Today I would like to share with you a Markham The new mother's confinement story, I hope to let more expectant mothers know that even if there is no Postpartum Nanny, as long as there is a proper arrangement, you can on confinement and focus on taking care of your baby.
Welcome your first child and your first month in Canada
Emily (a pseudonym) lives with her husband in Markham, their first child.
Since both parents and relatives and friends are in Hong Kong, the husband and wife need to take care of the newborn alone. The husband has only a short paternity leave and will need to return to work soon.
Emily's biggest concern is not taking care of the baby, but:
What do you cook every day?
How can I replenish my nutrition?
Do you have time for soup?
Will my body recover?
She hopes to get enough rest while taking care of her baby.
Plan ahead to make postpartum life easier
Prior to the due date, Emily had begun planning her postpartum life.
Here are a few highlights:
Book your confinement meal
Stock up on baby supplies
Schedule a home cleaning
Plan lactation supplies
Allow enough time to rest
Her biggest decision was to choose a Hong Kong-style confinement meal delivered daily, so she didn't have to think about what to eat every day.
Hot meals every day
Freshly made meals are delivered to your home every day after your baby is born.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, tonic soup, and roasted rice tea are all ready.
Emily says:
“It really takes a lot of stress out of not having to buy food, cook meals, and wash dishes every day. I can leave more time for my baby, and I can rest while they sleep.”
Different Hong Kong-style menus every day also make her feel less monotonous.
Physical recovery was smoother than expected
In the early postpartum period, she attaches the utmost importance to rest and balanced nutrition.
As the body slowly recovers, the menu gradually adds different tonic soups and balanced combinations, so that she can get enough protein, vegetables, and soup every day.
Emily believes that regular eating and adequate rest are important factors in her smooth adjustment to her new mother's life.
The husband also relaxed a lot.
Husband comes home from work every day and doesn't need to rush to prepare dinner.
Families can spend more time with their babies instead of spending a lot of time shopping and cooking.
Emily laughs:
“The biggest takeaway is not that someone cooked for me, but that the three of us had more time together.”
Canada doesn't have a Postpartum Nanny, so you can sit comfortably
Many Chinese Canadian families face the same situation:
Family is not around
Difficulty hiring a full-time jury member
Couple caring for newborn
Limited time
As long as you plan ahead and make good use of the professional confinement meal service, you can still let your mother rest in peace, focus on restoring her body and caring for her baby.
