Confinement Lady In Malaysia

Seeking help from a confinement lady during the confinement period is a norm for Chinese in Malaysia.

Some mommy who are more fortunate will have the help of their mother,in laws or female relatives to help during the confinement period while some who were less fortunate might have to do it all by themselves or engaged the help of confinement centers that provide full service or partial service (for example, you can opt for ordering confinement meals send to your doorstep instead of having a confinement lady staying with you for the whole month and helping you with the cooking and baby).

During my pregnancy with Little Moo Moo, my EDD falls within the Chinese New Year period. The cost of hiring a confinement lady will be double the normal market price hence I hire a part time maid instead to help my mom preparing all the confinement needs.This time round, i had decided to hire a confinement lady as my mom is aging and it hurts to see her preparing and doing so many things during my last confinement.

It's always not easy to find a good confinement lady. My friends had advise me to engage a confinement lady as early as possible and if possible straight after the pregnancy confirmation (that means when pregnancy is still around 7-12 weeks) to prevent disappointment as many of the good ones will usually be taken up fast.

For the past days, i searched the web, visited parenting forums and talked to friends and i managed to gather a list of confinement lady with good reputations among forumers who are available throughout Malaysia. The list is as follows:-
