Recommend tarak.. but would like to share what I experienced through...
QUOTE(auhckw @ Oct 28 2009, 10:20 AM) I am currently having a bad confinement lady. Most likely going to terminate her early this weekend. Reasons:- -Hold baby one hand, use the other hand make milk. So dangerous. Tell her we help hold baby, she said nvm. -Don't allow us to breast feed our baby until I got pist and tell her off. She replied, if you want, you take the baby and feed him yourself. This made my baby now seems to reject his mother's breast cause he is used to bottle already. My wife is quite upset. -When wife is trying to breast feed her baby, she came and take baby away and bottle feed him. -She used pacifier without our permission. -Baby eyes got yellowish thingi coming out. She used her hand to wipe it out. When asked her to use cotton, she said nvm. -Baby got jaundince and we said we have to bring him see dr. She said nvm why go. Lucky I went, my baby nearly have to change blood because of her. -She always say nvm to the things we suggest, but when she say things we must do. -She wanted to feed baby herb / chinese powder. I said no, she keeps grumbling. -At night 10pm, no more hot water for my wife to wash hand, brush teeth, clean face. She is either sleeping or watching tv. Added on October 28, 2009, 10:22 amMy advise, If you want to breast feed... tell the confinement lady before confirming her. You can buy powder and pacifier for just in case, but hide it. Don't let her see it. Get reference from people who actually had tried her. My mistake was neighbor's friend recommendation. Failed! |

I found my confinement lady from another baby site "mead johnson" came highly recommended by many forumer there.
Mui Jie - 016-394-5709, Just as what others mention she is very professional, very knowledgeable, very experience , she fully encourage breast feeding, cooks good food, very attentive, take care of my baby with endless midnight calls, she is so caring to the stage that in the first 2 weeks when I wanna eat or drink she will bring everything to my bed and later bring a bowl of water for me to wash my hands, I told her no need la, but the first week I really needed that kinda care coz getting out from bed with the stitches really hurts a lot. Her price then was a bit expensive, RM3.3k not inc ang pow, she works 28 days only. The good part is after that we became good frens as I call her often for tips and advises, I was a real noob with baby things, so she was our lifesavers. She would drop by every saturday night and see how is everything until she got another assignment. Very responsible confinement lady. Highly recommended, but beware, her service doesnt come cheap and you've to booked her 6 months in advance as a schedule is very tight. |

I've heard so many ppl with horrible experience with CF lady, so I make sure I do my homework b4 engaging one. Mead johnson site was a life saver then, help me skip a lot of problem. Thats why I've requested Mod to hv a parenting/BB section to help others here.RM 3.3 k is normal i guess. wow.. u r so lucky to get such a good CL. Do u know how much she will charge for CNY period?

there used to be a company called peiling which provide confinement services. However due to their management problem, this company has closed down. Luckily I used their service before the have problem.
From my experience, those confinement lady who are good usually go work in Singapore. The pay is so much higher after the exchange rate. Those who are left in Malaysia are either substandard quality or those who do not want to travel. When you get introduced, make sure to ask for credentials from previous employer. Ask around if possible. There is this confinement lady I got for my first baby which is absolutely professional and good. She usually go to Singapore but just that during my time she was around. |

Found one CL already from a confinement centre. they do send out their ppl to houses for 24/7 work
cost Rm3k but if during CNY from 1st to 6th day of CNY, it's RM5k. i hope they're good enough but i got the assurance from the owner that if we don't like the CL, can change anytime. |

hello! as per some of the above advise, please
1. get direct reference from previous employers you must hear from their real experiences. also judge from what they do. don't just hear they say good good then you ok. you should ask how she prepares milk, how she cleans baby, how's her cooking/hygiene etc. 2. make sure both agree to terms and condition set by both sides. let her know what you expect from, what you must have and can't have ie. my neighbour came across one who sucked, in less than 2 weeks, sent her off but she insisted for half month salary saying they caused her lost of other bookings due to booked by neighbour. mind you, she already got Rm500 deposit in the first place 3. as for monitoring her while on the bed...you can try iMon not so pricy and portable/wireless...baby monitor with visual and sound...later you can use to watch your baby in the baby room. one monitor can pair up to 4 cameras. i use that. approach http://www.facebook.com/mnmkidz for enquiry. |

I have a suggestion here, may be u can find someone know how to cook the confinement food.(if you are stay with mother or in law during this period)
Ask that women just come and cook for morning, afternoon and night + help baby shower, wash our cloth. Follow my case, it's cost about RM 1,000-RM 1,500 ( she my in law's friend) Then we are take baby ourself loh. Although it's will very tired....tired and tired..... but also a good train ourself and get experience to learn how to take care of baby. |
