I think the answer is really in the section titled "Lack of postpartum care in the US"

I think it’s lack of postpartum care and individualism restricting what family members are willing to do for one another. As someone between both world I think there ought to be a mix between individualism and filial piety.

As someone with a lot of Chinese family and children it can be as expensive or as cheap as possible. The expensive end includes a live in helper who does everything including cook and take care of baby when mama isn’t breast feeding them.

I wish I could have afforded this because American families do not help enough. Chinese side spoils our child and is, American side not so much…
