Top 5 Best Confinement Centres in Cheras - November 2024

Confinement is a traditional practice that helps mothers who just delivered a baby to rest and recover; both physically and emotionally. It is a custom to prepare them for the lifelong journey of motherhood. Specific confinement practices depend on one’s culture, but generally, mothers are advised to stay indoors for the whole period of confinement and to follow dietary requirements. Traditionally, Chinese confinement practices believe that mothers who just delivered their baby will have a lot of ‘wind’ in their body. Therefore, to purge the body of it and promote blood circulation, they are encouraged to eat a lot of food containing key confinement ingredients such as ginger and sesame oil. Traditional confinement practices also believe that mothers under confinement cannot go outside so they won’t be exposed to pollution, wind and air conditioning. They are encouraged to reduce moving about as much as possible, and are also not allowed to bathe or drink cold water. Now with so many do’s and don’ts, it is no wonder why mothers seek outside help to manage their confinement. They usually pick between three options: Hire a confinement nanny. DIY. Check into a confinement centre. While the latter option can be a bit pricier than the former two, they provide holistic care for you, your baby, and in many ways, your immediate family. This valuable experience will prepare you on your journey after you check out. However, you must know that not all confinement centres have the same policies, so it would be wise to look into what each centre offers. But don’t worry, here at Motherhood, we have done the research for you! Here is a list of the top 5 confinement centres in Cheras to ease your decision making. Motherhood’s Choice: Byond28 Confinement Care Our Motherhood choice for best confinement centre in Cheras is Byond28 Confinement Care! Located in Cheras, KL, Byond28 Confinement Care specialises in promoting healthy parenting and encourages bonding between the parents with their baby. Both mummy and baby will enjoy a spacious and comfortable environment in their standalone confinement centre. There are no sharing rooms and bathrooms (you know how important that can be, right?). Each room comes with attached bathrooms, personal nursing pillows, individual air-conditioning, mini-fridge to store your expressed breast milk (EBM), and is fully Wi-Fi equipped. Byond28 Confinement Care operates in a standalone building that spreads across three levels. It is also close to nature, as it is backed by a reserved forest. The baby nursery is located on the ground floor with an individual exit, complete with a two-tiered air ventilation system with HEPA filters and a separate observation and isolation room. Because it is a standalone confinement centre, Byond28 Confinement Care is well prepared for any emergency evacuation. We mentioned a little about Chinese confinement practices earlier. Byond28 Confinement Care operates to give mothers the best of both worlds by combining traditional Chinese confinement practices with modern evidence-based operating systems. This ensures that all mothers will receive the best confinement care service. One of the most important elements that set Byond28 apart is that the nurses and nannies seek to guide mummies throughout the confinement period—from antenatal to postnatal. They understand that taking care of a newborn baby requires a lot of effort and patience. The Byond28 Confinement Care concept of modern confinement includes providing confinement services before, during and after the standard 28-days of confinement. Mothers will receive services and follow-ups from before giving birth, and after check out from the centre. Why is this important? As a new parent, sometimes you will be unsure if you are doing the right thing for your newborn baby. Many new parents panic because they are unsure of why their baby is crying. Questions that many new parents ask: Should my baby drink water during their first month? When can my baby start drinking water? How do I store my breastmilk? How do I reheat breastmilk? Why can’t my baby stop crying? These are questions that mothers may be too shy to ask. Byond28 Confinement Care will teach you how to manage expectations through frequent communication between the centre and mother. Even before you check in and after you check out, the centre is committed to ensuring that your motherhood journey is not a lonely one. They will teach mothers and fathers how to bathe, soothe and burp their baby. And more terrifying of all (to the daddies)—changing the soiled diaper! You know what they say, it takes a village to raise a child! At Byond28, you will be given hands-on experience on baby bathing, soothing, massaging, and breastmilk feeding. Both parents will be involved in the parental process, so you won’t panic and feel like you don’t have enough experience with your newborn baby when it is time to check out. Byond28 Confinement Care provides the highest level of professional care to ensure that mothers can overcome these challenges in hopes that they depart the confinement centre with a positive and educational experience. It includes a one-to-one breastfeeding consultation with a Malaysian National Lactation Centre (NLC) certified lactation counsellor, as well as a weekly Paediatrician visit to check-up on the newborn babies and to provide consultation to mothers. Other services worth mentioning (there are too many) are: A nursing team led by nurse managers who are certified by the Malaysian Ministry of Health (KKM). Jaundice monitoring and management in collaboration with Columbia Asia Cheras Hospital (CAC). Solving breast engorgement, clogged ducts, cracked nipples, inverted nipples, baby tongue-tied. Preparation to leave the confinement centre—breastmilk storage tips, reheating tips, baby sleeping patterns. 28 days of personalised herbal tonic soup from SWS 永生 that helps to cleanse, nourish, and rejuvenate the body.
