The “confinement period” is an important time of motherhood. It’s the first month after you’ve given birth to your bundle of joy so you’re suddenly responsible for a vulnerable new life, while you have also gone through a major blow to your body that requires recuperation.
There are a few options you can seek out to help you transition to the role of being a mother and one of which is confinement centres.
Why go to a confinement centre?
While many mums, especially first-time mums, may opt for hiring a stay-in nanny to help take care of them and their babies, some families may find it troublesome to set up a sleeping area for the helper or feel that her presence compromises their privacy.
Also, for those who are staying with a huge family, they may find that it’s inconvenient to do their confinement in their own house.
Confinement centres, on the other hand, allow mums to get ample rest in a dedicated facility. They are also well-staffed so both mums and babies can be well taken care of.
Here are the best confinement centres you can find in Singapore and Johor Bahru, providing maximum comfort and care.
