I had a very worst experienced at De Garden confinement center.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/De-Garden-Co...241910242660999We took single room during the confinement and pay RM5000 per month. Money not a concern for us but the concept is a problem for us. It may not bad for all people so you have to judge yourself.
Cons:
1. Not breastfeed friendly. They always request you to mix with formula milk.
2. Not direct latch friendly. They discourage direct latch and insist to pump then bottle feed. They will always ask you to pump and don't direct latch.
3. Insist use of pacifier. It make baby addicted with it and harder to take care after back home.
4. Baby not allow to stay in mommy room too long.
5. Baby not allow to sleep with mom even if for the reason of direct latch.
6. If father in the room (single room only of course), baby not allow to enter the room.
7. Father not allow to touch the baby. Even there are hand sanitizer in the center.
8. They will very seldom carry the baby for mother especially direct latch. They will knock your door and ask you to nursery to carry your baby if you want direct latch. Most of the time they will ask you to direct latch at nursery room. So you need to get latching cloth for cover else every visitor can see your breast outside the nursery.
9. For bottle feed, they will ask you to nursery room for bottle feed. Not allow to bring back to room.
10. Midnight shift nanny usually sleeping. So don't expect them to allow direct latch or carry baby to you.
11. They don't clean baby ears for you. So you need to do it yourself.
12. The nannies are not friendly if you are focus on breast feed especially direct latch.
13. They will keep complain if you pump not enough breast milk.
14. The nannies are very lazy. Don't expect to request help from them.
Pros:
1. Sufficient food and drinks for mother. Most of the time is traditional food, sometimes there are western food.
2. Enough rest for mother if you are on full formula milk because they won't come disturb you at all.
3. The maid is very polite and friendly.
Basically if you are looking for breast feed friendly confinement center, this is absolutely NOT a place for you. If you are looking for confinement that you can sleep the entire night and discourage husband from coming, this is a good place for you. So it is actually priority on mommy that baby.
