Sanhujori is the Korean postpartum tradition focused on helping mothers recover fully after childbirth through rest, warmth, nutritious food, and family support. Here are the key principles:
Korean mothers are encouraged to rest for at least 21 days after childbirth — avoiding physical strain, staying warm, and focusing entirely on recovery and bonding with the newborn.
Miyeokguk (seaweed soup) is the cornerstone of Korean postpartum nutrition — rich in iron and calcium, it supports milk production and recovery. Other traditional foods include samgyetang, pumpkin porridge, and nutrient-dense stews.
Korean postpartum care emphasizes keeping the body warm — avoiding cold foods and drinks, using warm compresses, and maintaining a warm room temperature to support healing and prevent long-term health issues.
Share the support your household needs so you can discuss the right schedule and caregiver experience before making a match.
Include your expected due date and when you would like care to begin.
Describe the newborn, recovery, meal, and light household support that is most important to your family.
Note preferred languages, cultural practices, and whether you need live-in or live-out help.
A clear care brief helps a Korean-speaking postpartum caregiver confirm whether the role is a good fit. Before an interview, write down the due-date window, live-in or live-out arrangement, Korean meal preferences, newborn routine, and the recovery support your household expects.
Discuss the practical support needed after birth, including rest periods, meal timing, and when health questions should go to your clinician.
Separate newborn care, feeding support, laundry, and light household tasks so both sides can agree on the daily routine.
Confirm Korean-language needs, the start date, overnight expectations, days off, and how family members will communicate.
