“The First Forty Days” by Heng Ou - Hardcover Book

The baby gets plenty of attention. The First Forty Days brings some of that care back to the person who gave birth.

Drawing from Heng Ou’s experience with the Chinese postpartum practice of zuo yuezi, this warm guide pairs 60 recipes for soups, meals, snacks, and teas with practical support for rest, visitors, relationships, and asking for help. It is useful during pregnancy for planning ahead and in the tender weeks after birth when simple nourishment matters.
