If you’re an expecting mother, you’ve probably got a million things running through your mind per minute. One of which would most definitely be figuring out the best confinement centre for you and your new baby to stay in during the month after his or her birth.
They say it takes a village to raise a child and boy, are they right! Now, more than ever in our modern world, new mummies need all the support they can get after going through childbirth – especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when some of us may be separated from our families living in different states.
That’s why we want to help you find the best place for you and baby to recuperate after birth. If you’re in the Klang Valley area, here are the top 5 best confinement centres for your consideration.

That’s why they are passionate about providing the right support; it’s all to give new mums the best opportunity to recuperate, rest and bond with her baby.
At First Month, they are a family-run center who are also strong believers in the value of Chinese herbal food to nourish our physical health and wellbeing, having spent many years in research, development and trade in this industry across the country.

My first life-time confinement experience was great and wonderful with Bliss Confinement Centre. Both baby and I [were comfortable] throughout the period. Food was extremely ranged as 5 star ranking, the TCM was an amazing woman and all the workers were pretty nice and friendly. Kudos to Bliss.
Everything was great. From the room service, 5 meals a day, friendly nurses who help to take care of baby during the day and night time. Traditional Chinese Medicine for my wife and even the bird’s nest, I did try for a few bites too 🙂 […] Yes confinement center cost a bit more but sure worth it for their full package and your partner gets to rest well after baby’s delivery. Appreciated and recommended.
There we have it! We hoped this little list was helpful to you. Clearly, which confinement centre you choose will be one of the most important decisions you’ll make for the early weeks after your delivery. Now more than ever when your family support system may be states away and your partner needs to work.
