"Do not lift heavy objects, do not wash hair, do not eat cold food…" This is also Canadian model Taylor Richard's experience of "sitting the month" in Hong Kong SAR that she shared on YouTube. The video was liked by 3 million people causing amazement among foreign netizens.

According to a CNN report on May 7, Chinese-style postpartum care, commonly known as "sitting the month," is becoming more and more popular in the West. Richard was once a Canadian influencer. Later, she became a model in Hong Kong SAR. In 2022, after her son was born, Richard decided to hire a confinement nanny to provide guidance for herself as a new mother. Richard recorded the life of the nanny and Taylor's family lived together for a month.

She wrote below the video: "These practices are all designed to allow women to rest and recover their bodies during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum periods so that mothers have the healthy physical strength to take care of their babies for a long time." In this video, she also said that she will show the modern way of "sitting the month," its health benefits, and what it feels like to live with a confinement nanny. Richard's experience of "sitting the month" in China has also caused a lot of resonance among Western netizens. Many have expressed envy for China's "sitting the month." "As an American woman who has given birth four times and was immediately kicked out of the hospital, I can say without a doubt that if this is a choice, it could change my entire experience of being a mother," one netizen wrote.
