Hi everyone.

Just wanted to share my experience with my confinement lady [CL] with all of you. After much searching, asking my friends and researching online, I found Jenny Low (013-6099 588) who was recommended from a website.

Called her, and then met her with my hubby and from there, we knew that she would be our CL. She is someone that is straight forward and will tell you things as they are. She is also experienced because she has been a CL for 10 years. And because she has worked as a CL overseas (like Singapore, Germany, Australia, Hong Kong), she is more open-minded & modern when it comes to the "confinement rules". She understands the need to be flexible and not have to stick to every single old fashion confinement rules.

Therefore, she had earlier asked us if we want the more modern OR old fashion confinement, because she is fine with any option we prefer. Hence, we were more than happy to tell her we prefer the modern confinement

Now that my confinement is over, I am happy to share with you that I did indeed have a good experience with Jenny (my baby arrived in mid Dec 2013). She handles my baby well. She shares with us how best to take care of the baby (some are really practical things that we take for granted). She is breastfeeding friendly and knowledgeable about it too (because I chose to do so and thank goodness, I was fortunate to be able to breastfeed my baby). Like how she advised that I shouldn't eat leafy veggie because it causes wind; best to eat less ginger during the first 12 days to prevent jaundice and etc.. Plus, she cooks well! There is a variety of food to eat and although alot of CL only cooks for the mummy, she cooked for my hubby too (we discussed about this earlier, and like she said, it's just cooking that little bit more).

All in all, I am one happy mummy. I am glad to have found her and do give her a call if you are looking for a CL. Have a chat with her or meet her and judge for yourself if she's the CL for you. Wishing all mummies a happy confinement!
