How many days is the traditional confinement?

Traditionally, confinement takes one month, which is 30 days, but the exact time is actually 42 days.

It takes time for a woman to recover.

Because it takes at least 6 weeks for the parturient's uterus to contract to the size of non-pregnant uterus, and it takes at least 6-8 weeks for the postpartum abdominal wall to recover, so it takes 42 days to confinement.

Learn to eat properly.

Postpartum confinement is a good opportunity to change one's physique, learn correct food supplement, take proper rest, restore the prenatal state, restore the elasticity of deformed internal organs, and thus transform one's physique.
