Hi, does anyone has a good confinement nanny to refer/recommend? My due date will be early May 2005. What are the differences between singaporean or malaysian ones? How much they charge? Also, any good maid agency to recommend as well. Thanks in advance for your reply.

OK, so I really am clueless. What is a confinement nanny....sounds a little scary.

FatheroftheHouse, its kind of rude to make comments like this here because this is a forum where parents ask questions are genuinely in need an answer and we all (from different race, creed, religion) all try to answer questions if we have the answers and help each other out. Clueless, a confinement nanny is someone who takes care of the mother and child for one month while the mother is recuperating. Pregnancy is a period of time when the mother has gone through a lot physically and mentally and a confinement nanny helps to make lovely soups that heal the mommy, aid in breast milk production, brings the mommy back to health and she provides advice etc. Very helpful for first time mommies and I wish I had one myself before. They are quire expensive I believe in HK. Clueless, hope this explanation helps.

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.

thanks guys....so now I am not so clueless. Wish I had known about these with my two children.....Its amazing that so many cultures have this great support network for when the mother gives birth...In India for example, its normal for a woman to go and live with her parents for 40 days after the birth to help her recover and ensure the baby is well taken care of by a rested and revived mother, In some African countries, the new mother is not allowed to leave her bed for the first 40 days post birth....her family is expected to look after her. In HK, we get one weeks paid maternity leave if we ar lucky....hummmm
