How are the days counted in general postpartum care?

Patient's question:

I started postpartum care on the 10th of this month, and I plan to take my baby back to my parents' house on the 9th of next month. However, my husband says I haven't finished postpartum care yet. So I'd like to ask how many days postpartum care lasts and how it is calculated?

Doctor's answer:

Postpartum confinement is often a painful experience for most mothers, as during this time, mothers not only tire of the nauseating milk soup but also endure the destruction of the infant day and night. At this point, many mothers start counting the days, as traditionally, the time spent sitting in the moon is 42 days. It is recommended that patients pay attention to their sleep quality during the confinement period and maintain a light diet, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits.
