The 7th day has a certain significance in the confinement calendar. A mother's body expands upon pregnancy and giving birth, so on this day the household needs to cook wantons with handmade dough- a symbol representing the mothers body being kneaded back into shape!
So amusing. N the wantons were yummy!
