			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Traditionally in Japan during <a  href="http://sgmummy.com/confinement-food-receipes/" target="_blank">confinement</a>, the new mother is not allowed to take a shower during the 30days of postpartum care. She is however encouraged to take  sponge bath using Grated Ginger Roots to rub on her body. This was to aid in healing. They were also not allowed to leave the house for around 2-4 weeks after birth.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For some Japanese Women, they felt an obligation to resume back her roles and household chores when they return back to home once she thinks that her recovery time was adequate.</span></span></p>
<p <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.net">online ampicillin</a>  style=&#034;text-align: <a  href="http://www.swiftcodesbank.com/dj-finance-limited.php">DJ Finance Limited</a>  justify;&#034;><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">They had a belief that breastfeeding was an emphasis on a mom&#039;s recovery as a priority. Special food of carp fish soup and mochi was to be taken to help <a  href="http://ampicillin-pharm.net">buy ampicillin online</a>  in breast milk production. Hot soups such as miso was also to promote good health.To hasten the discharge of the blood clotting,  spinach and green vegetables was to be consumed.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">After deliver, the japanese mother uses the <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.originsjamumassage.com/Jamu-Postnatal-Massage.html" target="_blank">binder</a> known as <em><strong>Hara-Obi </strong></em>which they believe to strengthen and support their back and abdominal muscles. It is about 15 to 20 cm wide and around 4.5 metres long. It needs to go round the body at least 3-4 times. They believe that it is to help to support the uterus as well..<br />
</span></span>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">A special ceremonial celebration called <em><strong>OSHICHIA</strong></em> was done when the baby turns 7 days old. In this celebration, the baby will be officially named by the father and mother , sometimes by the grandparents. usually only close family and friends were invited to attend this event. Special food were served at this ceremony such as red rice with beans, sea  broom fish (TAI) and many vegetables.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The other ritual was the <em><strong>HESONO O</strong></em>- where it involves the baby&#039;s umbilical cord. When the cord falls off , it was to be put inside a special wooden box and kept indefinately. This signifies a well wish for the mother- child relationship in the future.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">When the baby turns 100days old, another ceremony &#8211; <em><strong>HYAKUNICHIMAIRI</strong></em> was performed. It begins with the baby, mother, grandmother and great grandmother dressing in their finest clothes and visiting <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.com">cheap buy ampicillin</a>  the family temple. A special prayer is given by the priest of the temple for good health of the baby. Thereafter, they will return home where all the  other familly and friends <a  href="http://thebizsellers.com/ach/ach-direct-debit.php">Back Ach</a>  would join in for a celebration with a feast. <em>( see pic below)</em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In Korean, there is a word that describes postpartum care. It is <strong>&#034;Samchilil&#034;</strong>, which mean 21 days. Koreans believe that the new mother should be in confinement for at least 3 weeks after birth.</span></span></span></p>
<p <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.com">online Ampicillin</a>  style=&#034;text-align: justify;&#034;><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Koreans mums duties were supposed only to be rest and sleep during this period. They are not allowed to move about too much as this is to help the uterus to contract. They also have special <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.net">buy ampicillin cheap</a>  confinement diets. Although Kimchi remains as their main source of food, <a  href="http://sgmummy.com/lactation-food-recipes/" target="_blank">seaweed soup </a>known as <strong>&#034;</strong><span class="li-txtcontent"><strong>miyuk-kuk&#034;</strong> </span> is one dish that is to be consume 3 times a day. It is encouraged to consume everyday for a least 3 months. Seaweed soup has healing properties, it is believed to help to clean the blood, contains calcium as well as to help with the breastfeeding milk production. Hard or crunchy food is best to be avoided as they believed the mother&#039;s  gum <a  href="http://www.swiftcodesbank.com/hobart-capital-markets-limited.php">Hobart Capital Markets Limited</a>  is still very weak after delivery.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: <a  href="http://ampicillin-pharm.net">buy Ampicillin</a>  arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&#034;>Koreans confinement has some similarities to Chinese. They are supposed to wear thick clothes to prevent wind from entering body and not to walk bare footed around the house. Putting on socks is a must. Taking a hot shower or washing of hair is however allowed but mothers who has a caesarean delivery <a  href="http://thebizsellers.com/ach/ach-check-processing.php">Accept Ach Payments</a>  should avoid taking a shower for a week.<br />
</span></span></span>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em><strong>Do you Know?</strong></em></span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Korean has Postpartum Clinics known as <strong>Sanhujoriwon.</strong><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> It provides traditional care for the mother and the babies. Woman after birth stay at these clinics where each mother has her own room with a bathroom, double bed, TV, PC, nursing goods  such as a breast milk pump, a massager and phone. Staff train the mothers to  breast-feed and offer classes on how to wash, swaddle and calm their babies.  There is some strict rules that mothers are not allowed to touch other babies, even the grandparents. There is also restriction on visiting hours too. A forthnight stay at this clinic cost at least 2 &#8211; 2.5 million won ($1494). Mothers who has stayed in these clinics find it better to cope with their postnatal emotions as they shared their feelings with fellow mothers and they are able to get ample rest during their stay.<br />
</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Will Singaporean buy the idea of having postpartum clinics in Singapore ? I guess many will still opted for confinement ladies. Perhaps when we launch our 1st postpartum clinic, it could be just like another world class resort only filled with mothers and their bundle of joys. <img src='http://sgmummy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span></p>

( This is very similar to the &#034;Yin&#034; and &#034;Yang&#034; in the chinese belief). Woman after birth are considered &#034;am&#034; and food helps to warm the body is to be consumed. The food consumed in postpartum is to help restore the energy, replenish the blood , warm the body and improve circulation.</span></span></p>
