@@ajaiakaoaosnaiansjaoanskak I didn't know they had this service available in the US, but in Korea there are post partum clinics that many moms go to for recovery. Traditionally the other female family members pitched in with the food preparation and aftercare for the new mother. I can remember my grandma and aunties coming over all the time with miyukkuk and other korean dishes for my mom after she had my younger siblings. Also language-wise older female figures are often called, "imo/이모" (pronounced ee-mo) which means Auntie. Even if you aren't related. Older ladies in the service industry are also called imo.

The mother's body and health is so important after labor. In my Hmong culture, we have a 30 day- strict boiled chicken and herbs dish to eat. It helps cleanse our body. We focus on just the baby and ourselves. The mother doesn't do any hard labor such as cooking, cleaning as she needs to focus on her health and mental cause it's so important. Congratulations Jenn!

I love seeing this type of care being presented I think often in America it’s like “okay well mom is home alone with baby now we go back to work” but taking time to care and nurture a new mom especially when needed is so vital. I have seen many maybe not visit the baby but drop off homade food and small baby gifts and stuff to new moms along with things like “if you need help when you are ready let us know !” And it’s heartwarming

Every mom deserves to have a postpartum care. Often times mom gets neglected because all attention is focused on the newborn.

This video makes me so emotional I had to comment. It is so incredibly beautiful to see how Korean culture takes care of postpartum mother’s. I remember my postpartum and I barely ate or drank anything, stopped taking my vitamins, adversely effected my recovery and breastfeeding my baby. I felt so depressed. So incredibly important to help mama look after herself so she can look after baby. It may be unusual to say about a food video but seeing a mama being cherished and taken care of postpartum is a beautiful special thing! 💖

It's always so heartwarming to see how supportive and caring Ben and Jenn are of each other. 💓

In Nigeria and I think most African cultures, the grandma takes care of the new born for several weeks. If the grandma isn’t available aunties or family friends will do it. The grandma will also cook for the mom and the family. Basically taking the stress away from the mother until she’s fully recovered.

Literally instant tears when you come down and saw Ben’s surprise 🥺 So sweet! All of the meals looked so delicious 🤤

Hope you continue documenting your food, it feels so soothing and nourishing to watch!

Nigerians have a similar thing. It’s called Omugwo. The mother or mother in law (sometimes any elderly woman) comes and helps the new mother as well as the baby.
