It's true. But some parents still stick to their "old school of thoughts". In cities, many girls start to hire Yue Sao (confinement nurse) to help them through their confinement period.

The confinement nurse have knowledge of taking care of puerpera and newly-born babies. An experienced confinement nurse earns more than CNY 10000 in big cities.

Well here we still have government nurses from nearby clinic or hospital that make home-visit, to bathe the newborn etc. Also private nurses that offer better care during confinement such as how to "wrap" the baby properly etc. What most people don't follow anymore is the 40 or 44-day waiting period. In those days the new moms need to eat only certain food, and even won't be allowed to take shower.
