Golden Month’s 30-day Chinese postpartum soup package supplies pre-portioned dried ingredients arranged across all three stages. The soups are cooked at home; they are not ready-to-eat meals.

In zuo yue zi (坐月子), shared food and practical help can make the first month easier to organize. Check each packet for its ingredient list and cooking directions, including water and any fresh additions.

What's Included

Check the instructions and complete label for each pack before cooking.

Herbal Blends

The range includes 12 named soup blends arranged in three traditional stages. Each pack contains dried ingredients for cooking at home. Check the complete ingredient list for the specific blend and its packet directions before cooking.

Why families choose the kit

Traditional soup blends, portioned for home cooking.

Rooted in Chinese tradition

Our soup range draws on Chinese postpartum food traditions and their emphasis on warm meals and a gradual return to everyday routines. The three-stage range gives that tradition a practical sequence for home cooking.

Know your ingredients

Each blend has its own ingredient list. Read the product details and packet label before choosing, especially when you need to check allergens or the processing of an ingredient. Our ingredient guide explains common English and Chinese names.

Pre-portioned blends

The dried ingredients are portioned into soup packs, reducing the separate sourcing and measuring needed at home. Match the blend name to its preparation instructions before adding water and fresh ingredients.

Simple preparation

Choose the pack you plan to cook, read its instructions and prepare the fresh additions. Allow time for rinsing or soaking where directed, heating, simmering and cleanup. The preparation guide helps you plan the work.

Help with your order

Questions about choosing a package or matching a packet to the preparation guide? Contact Golden Month with the product or blend name so we can help you find the relevant information.

Made for Different Postpartum Journeys

C-section or Vaginal Birth

Follow your discharge instructions. If you are unsure about a particular herbal blend, ask your care team to check its full ingredient list. There is no single rice-wine timing rule that applies to everyone after surgery.

Breastfeeding Mothers

Each blend has its own ingredients. If you are breastfeeding, ask your clinician or pharmacist about unfamiliar herbs using the complete packet label.

First-Time or Experienced Mothers

Portioned dried blends and packet directions can help you plan who will shop, cook and clean up. You still need to add the specified fresh ingredients and cook the soup.

What is Confinement?

In Chinese postpartum traditions, zuo yue zi (坐月子), or “sitting the month,” makes room for rest, familiar food and help from others after birth.

Families practice it in different ways. A soup kit can help organize one part of the food plan, alongside other meals and practical support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect from a soup kit?

A soup kit provides dried ingredients portioned for home cooking, with a sequence based on Chinese postpartum food traditions. You add the fresh ingredients and water specified for each pack. The kit helps organize sourcing and preparation.

What is included in the Confinement Soup Package?

Choose a 10-, 20- or 30-day kit according to the stage combination you want. The kit contains individually portioned dried soup packs and preparation guidance. Check the selected option and pack count on the product and order details before purchase.

Are the soups ready to consume? 

No. The packs contain dried ingredients that must be cooked at home. Add the fresh ingredients and water specified for the exact blend, then follow its packet directions.

How much soup will a pack make?

Yield and serving size depend on the fresh ingredients, water added and cooking method. Follow the directions for your exact packet, then portion the finished soup to suit your household. Check the separate guidance for prompt cooling and storage of cooked soup.

How should I choose while breastfeeding?

Check the complete label for the pack you choose and ask your clinician or pharmacist about unfamiliar ingredients.

What should I check after a C-section?

Follow your discharge instructions after a C-section. Ask your care team whether a particular herbal blend or optional cooking addition is appropriate for you, especially with medicines or surgical concerns. Do not rely on a fixed number of days after surgery as a safety rule.

How do I choose the right soup package for me?

The 10-day kit offers Stage 1, 2 or 3; the 20-day kit offers Stages 1+2 or 2+3; the 30-day kit contains all three stages. Compare the stage combination, current price and the number of days you want to cook.

How easy is it to prepare these soups?

  1. Read the instructions for your exact soup pack.
  2. Prepare the specified fresh ingredients and water.
  3. Cook using the packet method and your appliance instructions.

The preparation guide explains the methods. If a packet and the guide differ, contact us before choosing between them. Cooked yield varies with ingredients and method.

What if I've never made traditional Chinese confinement soups before?

Start with the packet directions and the preparation guide. Agree who will buy the fresh ingredients, cook and clean up. Contact us if a blend name or instruction is unclear.

Can I prepare a meat-free version?

You can ask about preparing a meat-free version, but first check the full ingredient label and how the method needs to change. Leaving out added meat does not establish that every blend is vegetarian, vegan or suitable for a particular allergy. Contact us about the exact pack before ordering.

When should I start drinking the confinement soups? 

There is no single postpartum day that makes every herbal blend appropriate. Choose with regard to the actual ingredients, your care instructions and the help available for cooking.

Will I get bored eating soup for 30 days straight?

The range has different named blends across three stages. The blends in your order depend on the kit and stage option you choose. Review the included packs and their ingredient lists if variety or a particular flavor matters to you.

How should I store unopened packs?

Follow the storage directions and date marking on your unopened package. Keep dried ingredients protected from moisture. Cooked soup needs separate cooling and storage care.

Are there any allergens in your soup?

Contains peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts) and soy.

All ingredients are clearly listed on each soup label.

How do I get the most out of my confinement?

Soup can be one part of a wider household food plan. Choose the meals and practical help that fit your family. If you are considering other Golden Month products, read each product's full details and ingredient information before choosing.

How can I check sourcing or testing?

Contact us with the product name and batch information from its label for questions about ingredient origins or available testing documents.

What if I have a quality concern?

Check the packaging date or date marking, complete ingredient label and condition of the pack you receive. If you have a quality concern, contact us with the product and batch details so we can investigate.

I completed the 30-day soup package recently. I found the soup essential for restoring my health and energy during my postpartum journey. My lips are not pale at all! Some of the soups are also suitable for other family members and are very nourishing for the body. You can mix and match different types of meat, don't need to be the meat suggest for each package if that works better.

Kenneth (Auckland, New Zealand)

My wife has just given birth and have been using it for 8 days. Really easy to cook with simple instructions. We initially thought they will all taste the same but each pack tastes quite different and really good. My wife enjoys eating it and will recommend it to our friends.

E
Emma (New South Wales, Australia)

I find thr soup packs a convenient way to nourish myself as a second time mother highly recommend

C
Catherine (New South Wales, Australia)

I’m very impressed with the confinement soups! They were beautifully packaged, easy to prep (simple instructions), affordable and very tasty. Even my mother and mother in law who prepared some of the soups each week agreed. This was more convenient than trying to find confinement soups from a TCM store/clinic. I would absolutely order this package again if I have more kids in the future.

The soups have been a lifesaver. So convenient and easy to prepare, all mothers should give it a go. It takes the stress and worry out of preparing a nourishing meal for postpartum mothers.

S
Stecia O. (Victoria, Australia)

Golden Month (GM) trully helps me (who leave far away from parents and don’t get support) in my postpartum phase. I ordered the 30 days package and the packaging are amazing. GM considered my due date so they gave me the best and fresh product for me. It comes with very simple cooking instructions, I just needed to add specific meat and salt (as per instruction). We were told in separate card what specific meats we need to buy in advance (every 10 days before). So in summary, GM made my life easier. Thanks GM!

Rika K. (New South Wales, Australia)

Love how convenient to cook and nutritious the packs are ! Life saver for a new busy mom like me.

N
Nicole (Western Australia, Australia)

As a new mother, this 30-day confinement soup package was such a lifesaver. It took away so much of the stress of preparing nourishing hesrbal soups during my recovery. I loved that each day’s herbal ingredients were pre-packed, so all I had to do was add the meat and let it cook. It was so convenient, and I had peace of mind knowing I was getting the right nourishment every day. I purchased the full 30-day package and would happily buy it again for my next baby. Highly recommend it to any mother looking for an easy and nourishing confinement experience.

R
Ros (Western Australia, Australia)

My daughter, Rachel enjoyed the soups very much. We love the cusine fragrance. The package is really very convenient & well formulated especially with individual packed. I had mentioned to a few friends and they are very impressed I found these products.
The whole packaging is beyond my expectations and will not hesitate to recommend to any friends.

Brooke M. (Queensland, Australia)

It’s quite the investment but your health is your wealth and I do believe these teas have played an important part in my recovery in these early postpartem days, I’m only up to day 12 but knowing that I’m nourishing my kidneys today makes me feel good that I’m looking after myself because my baby is relying on me. There is hair tonics and blood nourishing soups which I love because I did lose a fair bit of blood and then the lactation tea was an added bonus I believe I can’t say for sure but my supply has been amazing and everyone is shocked by how much I can pump and it could very well be because of this tea. Thanks again for offering such a beautiful product in a western medicine world.

David L. (Victoria, Australia)

Golden Month Confinement Soup Package has been really helpful. Very easy to make the soup during this time with our newborn saving us time. My wife and I really love the taste of the soup.

S
Sara L. (Victoria, Australia)

Lovely package and clear instruction. The taste of soup is better than I thought however some ingredients might not suit my body, it might be great if there is more option for the soup packs, i.e. I am more a hot base that cannot eat too much of some herbs. Overall, it was great and staff is responsive and friendly via email communication.

E
Elke L. (Australian Capital Territory, Australia)

I had heard about the Chinese tradition of confinement and was interested in trying some aspects of it for my first pregnancy. This was a great option at a great pricepoint. I had pre-prepared and frozen the broth we needed ahead of time so it was easy for my partner to prepare. I really looked forward to each soup and found that they made me feel nourished after such a long labour!

Y
Yii M.L. (Victoria, Australia)

I recently tried the 30-day soup package and was very impressed. The packaging was beautiful and thoughtfully designed. Everything was organized neatly, and the instructions were incredibly clear and easy to follow. I appreciated how convenient it was to prepare these nourishing soups each day and they taste good too!

R
Rike K. (New South Wales, Australia)

C
Carol M. (New South Wales, Australia)

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)

M
MR D.W. (Queensland, Australia)

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.

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.
