The centuries-old tradition of Chinese postpartum confinement is going mainstream in America, as more families seek culturally rooted newborn care and maternal recovery support.

LOS ANGELES, CA – August 15, 2025 – The centuries-old practice of zuo yue zi — or Chinese postpartum confinement — is no longer limited to the Asian community. Families across the United States are increasingly hiring Chinese confinement nannies to ensure mothers receive proper rest, nutrition, and newborn care during the critical first 30 to 100 days after birth.

“Postpartum care is about more than changing diapers — it’s about a mother’s physical healing, emotional stability, and family bonding,” said Stephanie Lin, founder of My Asian Nanny. “We’ve seen a 40% increase in inquiries from non-Asian families over the past three years, especially in major metro areas.”

The growing interest reflects a wider shift in attitudes toward postpartum recovery, as more parents seek holistic and culturally informed support. Confinement nannies typically provide round-the-clock newborn care, traditional healing meals, lactation support, and gentle postpartum exercises to aid recovery.

The trend is supported by research showing that mothers who receive consistent postpartum care report faster physical recovery, lower stress levels, and a reduced risk of postpartum depression.
