Confinement nannies can go under different names ie a maternity nurse/nanny in the UK or a lactation consultant in US. Confinement nanny seems to me to be more of an Asian term.It really depends upon your specific needs and cutural/childcare beliefs as to the sort of service you need. Certainly from a western/European perspective, the role of a MN is to provide moral support to parents at a stressful time, get the little one into a regular sleeping/feeding routine, provide advice on diet, breast/bottle feeding and any other problems associated with the arrival of a new baby. The most important thing that a parent should look for when choosing an MN should be a personality fit - someone with similar beliefs, cultural values to their own.
