What is a confinement nanny?

A good confinement nanny is a godsend and tends to be in great demand. After giving birth, the Chinese believe that a mother’s strength is weakened. To restore it and ensure proper recovery, new mothers are expected to stay confined to the home and follow a strict recovery routine.

However, it’s not just Singaporeans who do the confinement period, expats have also tried it and have raved about the experience. A confinement nanny is often hired to provide support to mother and baby throughout this time.

How long is the confinement period?

Starting from childbirth, the confinement period lasts anywhere from one month up to 100 days. The length of confinement often depends on whether the mother has had a natural birth or caesarean, as well as the rate of her recovery. The average confinement is around six weeks to ensure that the new mother receives adequate rest and recuperation.

How to find the ‘right’ confinement nanny in Singapore?

Mums-to-be should start hunting for their confinement nanny while they are in their first trimester. Try to have reasonable expectations of the nanny. First-time mums in particular can get anxious when things don’t go according to plan. To ensure the right fit between employer and nanny, make sure to conduct an interview to suss out each other’s personalities and needs.

When selecting a confinement nanny, pick someone you deem to be trustworthy and that fits your personality. Do you want someone who is willing to take your instructions or are you looking for a confinement many who can give you advice instead?

Choosing someone with the right attitude will make life easier. Confinement nannies who are not Singaporean need to have work permits, so do check that the agency from which you engage your confinement nanny is MOM-certified.

The cost for confinement nannies varies depending on the scope of duties and time spent, but ranges between $3,500 and $5,000 a month.

Confinement nanny or night nurse? Live in or live out?

Consider your needs. If you have a helper, maybe you won’t need someone to live in throughout the month, as a typical confinement nanny would do. Perhaps you are only looking for a ‘night nurse’ or nanny who can help during the evenings only. Conversely, if you don’t have family around to pitch in – or your helper isn’t particularly experienced with newborn babies – an experienced confinement nanny who’s with you around the clock could be a lifesaver.

Try word-of-mouth recommendations and go with your gut to make sure you hire a confinement nanny you can trust. You’ll want to make sure the confinement nanny you hire is reputable and MOM-certified. Feeling overwhelmed? Keep reading for our roundup of confinement nannies in Singapore.

Confinement centres vs confinement nannies

Many mums prefer to stay in the comfort of their homes after giving birth so a confinement many is the perfect solution. They live with you, and your family can visit. Plus, your partner can also benefit from the highly nutritious confinement meals. Others prefer to go to a confinement centre , which is a bit like a hotel that’s especially geared up for postpartum mothers and their babies.
