Tips

culture
做满月 is a traditional banquet held when a baby turns one month old - historically a milestone because infant mortality was high in the first month. Guests bring 满月礼: gold longevity lockets (长命锁), bracelets, embroidered clothes, or a red envelope. The baby's head is traditionally shaved for the occasion in many regions.
