Postpartum Nanny Services
Expert Care, Rooted in Chinese Tradition
What Is a Chinese Postpartum Nanny (Yue Sao)?
In Chinese culture, postpartum care—known as zuò yuè zi (“sitting the month”)—is a revered practice designed to promote maternal recovery after childbirth. A Yue Sao, or confinement nanny, is a deeply trained caregiver who lives with your family for the first 26–40 days following birth to oversee rest, nutrition, and infant care.
How They Help: Care That Goes Beyond Watching the Baby
🍲 Nourishing, TCM-Inspired Meals
Meals, including soups rich in healing herbs, fish broths, and black vinegar-infused dishes, are carefully prepared to rebuild Qi, promote circulation, and enhance breast milk production.
👶 Infant & Newborn Support
Yue Sao assist with feeding, diapering, swaddling, bathing, and sleep pattern management—essential hands-on newborn care rooted in ancestral wisdom.
💆 Maternal Recovery & Emotional Support
From postpartum massage and abdominal binding to emotional encouragement and recovery monitoring, Yue Sao help ease the transition into motherhood.
🧼 Household Help with Love
Light housekeeping, laundry, cooking for the mother, and tending to errands are often part of the care, allowing moms to focus purely on rest and bonding.
Real Stories: Why Families Choose Yue Sao
📰 One American mother spent a full month in confinement care with a professionally trained Yue Sao in Hong Kong. She shared that the experience helped her recover, bond, and feel supported even without family nearby.
