My MCHN told me that Cambodian women stay in bed for 30 days after the birth. The MIL is to come and take care of her and mums feet aren't supposed to touch the floor for this time. (Except toilet) She is also fed good nutritious, warming foods to aid recovery.

Needless to say I am Cambodian after my kids are born....then back to good old traditionless Aussie after that.
