family relationships; physical and mental health; husbands＇ involvement; do confinement after childbirth Abstract： In China, nowadays, the tradition of women who ＂sit the Month＂ after childbirth still has a significant influence on people＇s values and behaviors, though it is to a great extent challenged by the rapid social economic development and changes in family struc- tures. For instance, the father of the newborn, who were traditionally excluded from the process while the women ＂do confinement＂ af- ter childbirth, plays an important role more than ever before. In this paper, we found that husbands＇ involvement in taking care of the newborn baby at night not only helps women＇s postpartum recovery, but also improve spousal and family relationships. Therefore, it is important to adopt relevant social policies, and organizations to encourage men to participate in the postnatal care in order to build har- monious families and promote new culture of childbirth.
