Sitting the Month Recipes & Postpartum Nutrition
Chinese American Dietitian + mom of two
Welcome, I’m Bernice! Here, you’ll find dietitian-tested postpartum recipes inspired by my mom, research behind postpartum traditions, evidence-based nutrition guidance, and honest reflections on motherhood. I adapt traditional confinement recipes to the modern kitchen, using easy-to-find ingredients and time-saving appliances like the microwave and Instant Pot. Whether you’re planning postpartum meals, cooking for a friend who just had a baby, or simply curious about Chinese food and culture, you’re in the right place.
