The Traditional Approach to Lactation

  • In traditional Chinese theory, breast milk is formed from blood and body fluids, and its flow is influenced by energy (qi), warmth, digestion and circulation.

  • Red dates and longan are traditionally used to help nourish blood and body fluids. Astragalus and Codonopsis tonify qi and support energy levels for breastfeeding mothers. In some blends, small amounts of fenugreek, long used in Ayurvedic and Western herbal traditions, are included for its galactagogue qualities.

I honestly can’t recommend Golden Month’s 30 day confinement soup packs enough!

After having my second baby, I was exhausted and really needed something nourishing but easy and these soups were exactly that. Every pack felt thoughtfully made, full of rich, comforting flavors.

One thing that really stood out was the variety. With a previous company we used, it felt like we were having the same soup over and over but Golden Month offers a great range, which made it so much more enjoyable and something I actually looked forward to each day.

What I also appreciated was the information pack included. It was super helpful and guided us on how to prepare and cook the soups properly, as well as what proteins to pair them with. It made the whole process feel simple and stress free, especially during those early postpartum weeks.

And of course, the convenience is a huge win no prep, no stress, just heat and enjoy. It made such a difference when even small tasks felt overwhelming.

If you’re preparing for postpartum or supporting someone who is, this is such a worthwhile investment in recovery.

You have been my home away from home. Customer service was impeccable and you were very accomodating with my mixed diet and approach to confinement. Big thank you for your service. Flavors were so authentic and ingredients were so good too. 🥰🥰🥰

10-Day Confinement Meal Set

Would 100% recommend this lactation tea package. Tastes great and significantly improved my milk supply in the early days.

Anita
10-Day Confinement Lactation Tea Package

The golden month so far has been amazing! I was usually the lactation tea and kept expressing i got about 20-30ml colostrum them slowly increased to mature milk and after just 1 week im now pumping 150ml in one sesh. The soups have been delicious. I've been dividing everything in half as a whole bag is too much for me to take so it's more fresh when preparing and it'd extend my journey longer for more detox and overall wellbeing. Thank you Fiona for creating this, every instruction is thorough and easy to follow through especially the meat recommendation which i find is a bonus ♥️

Jenny D.
30-Day Confinement Soup Package (Stages 1+2+3)

Soup packages have detailed instructions, taste great, good price and very convenient. Every morning I put all the ingredients into bear slow cooker then delicious soup for the whole day. Highly recommended as a minimum especially for those who cannot secure a confinement meal (which is a lot more expensive anyways)

Carol M.
30-Day Confinement Soup Package (Stages 1+2+3)

This confinement soup package really makes life so much easier. Everything is clearly packed by day, so I don’t have to think about what to prepare. Very convenient and helpful during confinement.

MR D.W.
30-Day Confinement Soup Package (Stages 1+2+3)

Having these carefully thought out soup packages helped immensely postpartum. My mother was over to help prepare the soups everyday and she loved how organized it was. We only needed to think about the protein we wanted to add, so it took away any added stress that already came with a new baby. Would highly recommend.

Alvina B.
30-Day Confinement Soup Package (Stages 1+2+3)

I absolutely loved my Golden Month experience - I so looked forward to the soups and tea every single day - they became such a comforting, grounding ritual. The convenience was invaluable; there is absolutely no way I would have been able to put something so nourishing, balanced, and thoughtful together myself in those early weeks. Knowing my body was being properly nourished took a huge mental load off and allowed me to focus on rest, recovery, and bonding with my baby. I would wholeheartedly recommend Golden Month to any new mother preparing for the postpartum period.

30-Day Complete Confinement Bundle (Soup+Tea+Bath)

Good and convenient packages. It save me the guess work of thinking how to nourish my body. The ingredients are high quality and portions amazing.

Etfindlove
30-Day Confinement Soup Package (Stages 1+2+3)

The soups were nourishing, delicious and easy to make especially with a pressure cooker. I just threw everything together each day and they turned out great. Herbs were nice and fresh too, and the portion size was good, enough to have over 2-3 meals. The soups tasted fine without meat (on the days when I wasn’t able to get meat) but tasted even better with meat. Overall very happy with this package!

Janice Y.
30-Day Confinement Soup Package (Stages 1+2+3)

These 30 day package was perfect for what I needed during my confinement. Everyday I wouldn’t need to worry about how to heal and nourish my body because each package is customized to do that. I simply added my own veggies and meat to the soups.

Thank you for creating a great product!

I ordered the 30 day soup package and I’m so happy with the quality of product, easy to follow instructions and variety. It’s given me peace of mind to know I’m getting the right nutrition and healing to allow me to spend time with my baby and recover well. Would recommend this product to other mothers looking for a convenient way to support their confinement recovery.

“received this as a gift from a friend and it was the perfect postpartum gift. Each pack had easy to follow instructions on how to prepare the soup and the ingredients were well portioned. The soups were delicious and nourishing. Would definitely recommend!” - Joanna

10-Day Confinement Soup Package (One stage)

As a first time mother, this confinement package was a lifesaver in sustaining me physically and mentally. The first month after birth brought the most change for both me and bubs, and these herbs definitely helped my body recover.

Between nappy changes, feeds, lullaby singing, and trying to get any semblance of sleep, this package took care of my nutrition. Having one less thing to worry about gave me more time and energy to focus on the biggest bundle of joy, my baby.

Their products are fantastic, and I'm so happy I took the leap with Golden Month. Absolutely no regrets about investing in my postpartum recovery and health. Traditional, warming, and thoughtfully prepared - I'd recommend this to any Australian mum!

What is Confinement?

In many Asian cultures, the month after childbirth is known as “confinement” (zuò yuè zi, “sitting the month”), a sacred window of rest, warmth, and deeply nourishing food to support recovery and renewal.

Childbirth leaves the body open, depleted, and vulnerable, yet uniquely receptive to restoration. The way a mother is cared for in the first 30 days is believed to influence her well-being for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is lactation tea, and is it different from confinement tea?

Lactation tea, also called breastfeeding tea or nursing tea, is herbal tea that mothers drink while breastfeeding. Many come as tea bags. Ours is a lactation tea and a confinement tea in one. It follows traditional Chinese confinement principles for recovery after birth, and the blends focus on herbs long used for lactation, such as fenugreek, alongside red dates and longan. So it does the job of a confinement tea and also supports milk flow for breastfeeding mothers. The herbs are whole and dried, portioned for each day and sipped warm through the day. It is caffeine-free.

How do I choose the right tea package?

We offer tea packs for 20 and 30 days, so you can choose what suits your recovery, budget and lifestyle.

  • 20-day pack: a balanced option for most of the confinement month
  • 30-day pack: covers the full traditional confinement month, at the lowest cost per day

What is included in the Confinement Tea Pack?

Each Confinement Tea Pack includes individually packed servings of dried tea herbs, enough for multiple servings per day. The pack features three distinct blends, based on red dates, longan and other traditional herbs commonly used in Chinese postpartum care to support breastfeeding. You can alternate the three blends daily for variety and balanced support.

Simple brewing instructions are included with each pack.

Are these teas safe during breastfeeding?

Yes, all ingredients are chosen with breastfeeding mothers in mind. They are caffeine-free and free from artificial additives. If you or the baby shows signs of sensitivity, you may pause and consult your practitioner.

Can I drink this if I had a C-section?

Yes. Our teas are designed to be gentle and supportive, whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section. The herbs used are considered tea herbs and not medicinal herbs.

When should I start drinking the tea?

You can begin drinking the tea from Day 1 after childbirth.

Whether you start right away or a few days later, you’ll still enjoy the full nourishing benefits of the teas throughout your recovery.

How often should I drink it?

Most mothers drink 2 to 3 cups daily. Each pack yields approximately 600ml to 1L, suitable for 2 to 4 servings. You may sip it throughout the day, warm or at room temperature.

Can I add sweeteners or other ingredients?

The tea is naturally sweet and does not contain added sugar. You may add a slice of ginger for warmth or a small amount of rock sugar if desired, but we recommend keeping additives minimal.

How to store the tea packs?

To maintain the freshness and quality of your premium herbal products, please store them with care:

  • Keep herbal packs in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, heat, or humidity
  • For best results, you may also store them in the refrigerator
  • Avoid exposure to moisture or high temperatures, which may affect the herbs’ potency

The shelf life is up to 1 year.

Where are your herbs sourced from?

Our herbs come from China's traditional growing regions, the heartlands where each ingredient has been cultivated for generations. Sourcing directly from China lets us access herbs from their authentic growing regions, where climate, soil and traditional cultivation practices all contribute to quality. It also gives us better consistency, traceability and selection than sourcing through secondary distributors or non-native growing regions.

Every herb is batch-tested and supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), which verifies safety and quality, including testing for heavy metals and microbial levels. And for every herb we import into the US, the relevant documentation is submitted as part of the import process, with shipments subject to inspection or testing by US authorities to ensure they meet strict safety standards.
