[quote=Anonymous]i'm not sure you'll find people to help that much with this--if I remember correctly, it is the one time in traditional chinese culture where MIL takes care of YOU instead of you caring for her. So it's family members who do this for each other. Zuo yuezi has some appeal but some really not great parts too. I had relatives who observed this when I was staying with extended family in Taiwan. Some versions hold that you should not wash your hair or bathe for the month (to avoid getting your head wet and catching cold), or that you should not have any salt for a month. No cold drinks, sometimes no going outside. Not super fun. If you just want someone to make you some of the traditional "bu" nutritional foods (like boiled chicken innards in broth) then you could probably advertise in Rockville or on care.com and see if someone has a mom staying here from China who would do that.
