• 刚熬过二三月的闹腾期，老母亲真是累得腰酸背痛，真心怀念在月子中心好好睡觉的日子。回家后，工作、家务一堆，感觉自己都快修仙了。

    强烈推荐Flushing阳光美婴月子中心，身为福州人，不坐月子真的不行。我特意从费城跑到法拉盛医院生的，法拉盛医院的产房环境真的很不错。

    月子中心派车接我们出院，5分钟就到了。我住的是2号店，房间布置非常好看，全是白色家具和白色纱帘，老板的搭配眼光真不错。我住的是雅房，有小冰箱储存母乳，还有个阳台，晒太阳感觉特别温暖。

    Having just gotten through the hectic February and March, I'm exhausted and back-aching. I truly miss the good sleep I got at the confinement center. Back home, I'm swamped with work and housework, and I feel like I'm almost a god.

    I highly recommend the Flushing Sunshine Baby Confinement Center. As a native of Fuzhou, confinement is essential. I made the arduous journey from Philadelphia to Flushing Hospital to give birth, and the delivery room there is truly wonderful.

    The confinement center sent a car to pick us up from the hospital, and it arrived in just 5 minutes. I stayed in Branch 2, and the room was beautifully decorated, all white furniture and white gauze curtains. The owner has a great eye for style. I had a standard room with a small refrigerator for breast milk storage and a balcony, so it felt wonderful to bask in the sun.

    一开始打算全母乳，但后来实在太累了，就一半母乳一半配方奶了。小冰箱真的很实用，能存的母乳不少。房间还配有养生壶，阿姨每天给我配月子水，效果真的超好，排恶露、便秘啥的喝几天立马见效。月子水真的是yyds，我觉得不吃月子餐可以，但月子水不能少。朋友订了另一家，我们每天互相发吃的照片，感觉还是我这边的好吃。加餐有几道特别新奇，比如八宝红豆沙、四物汤蛋、木薯芋圆（我的最爱）、木瓜燕窝等。

    卫生间的马桶也很喜欢，全自动的，可以热水清洗恶露，还能调整角度水压和烘干，真的有点被种草了，想回家也弄一个。

    月子中心的阿姨们都很专业，尤其是白班的苑阿姨，超级喜欢她。苑阿姨人超级nice，照顾宝宝特别熟练，换尿布、拍嗝、清理脐带、护理皮肤啥的信手拈来。我自己弄的时候宝宝一直哭，真的头大，真的是我见过最专业的月嫂。我还问了老板好多陪产和宝宝回国办证件的事，老板回答得非常专业。

    总之，和我同批的还有中国和阿根廷来的宝妈，大家都挺满意的。在遥远的地方能找到个坐月子的地方真的不容易，也希望我的新店能快点开业啦。

    I initially planned to breastfeed exclusively, but then I became so exhausted that I settled on half breast milk and half formula. The small refrigerator is really useful; it can store plenty of breast milk. The room also comes with a health pot, and the confinement caregiver mixes confinement water for me every day. It's been incredibly effective, helping with lochia and constipation within a few days. Confinement water is truly amazing. I think it's okay to skip the confinement meals, but confinement water is essential. My friend booked a place with another confinement care center, and we share photos of our meals every day. I still think the food at my place is better. There are some unique side dishes, like eight-treasure red bean paste, four-ingredient egg soup, cassava and taro balls (my favorite), and papaya and bird's nest.

    I also love the toilet in the bathroom. It's fully automatic, uses hot water to cleanse lochia, and can adjust the angle, water pressure, and drying time. I'm really tempted to get one when I get home.

    The confinement caregivers at the confinement care center are all very professional, especially Aunt Yuan, who works the day shift. I love her so much. Auntie Yuan is incredibly nice and incredibly skilled at baby care, from changing diapers and burping to cleaning the umbilical cord and skin care. My baby kept crying when I was doing it myself, which was incredibly frustrating. She's truly the most professional confinement nanny I've ever met. I also asked the owner about accompanying her during childbirth and getting documents for my baby back home, and she was very professional in her answers.

    Overall, my group, along with other mothers from China and Argentina, were all very satisfied. Finding a confinement care center in such a faraway place is truly challenging, and I hope my new shop opens soon.
