I had a very worst experienced at De Garden confinement center.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/De-Garden-Co...241910242660999

We 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.

Hi I'm a mother staying at De Garden before ... I'm not really have lots milk to supply my son so
1. I agree with mix cos my milk not not enough for my son and my son keep crying and hungry so I mix till my milk supply is enough then I go for full BF
2. I personally direct in day and night I prefer rest and sleep
3. My 1st baby also I go there .. In confinement take pacifier after 3 months my girl also don't take anymore and my 2nd son too after confinement don't eat d so cannot eddicted to pacifier so I got no worries on this
4&5. I agree with the rules because we need more rest if baby keep sleeping with me I will not have good rest although bonding is important but I also need rest la .. Beh tahan to hear them cry ... After my confinement I miss to stay there cause go home I kelam kabut can't get to rest
6&7. Father not allow to touch I agree also although my hubby wanted to carry very much. I'm ok wt it cos understand daddy might bring virus from outside and baby antibody still weak
8. I no commend
9. Just let nanny feed la we pay for their service ma why wanna feed by ourself ?
10. Night usually nanny sleep when baby sleeping .. I saw wt my eyes when baby cry they wake up feed .. No wrong and nannies also human la .. U go other places where mother can't go in eh what happening inside also nobody knows .. Haha
11. No commend
12. Repeat problems from the top.. If can go in baby room u must open 1 ear close 1 ear else better choose confinement that mother can't get to go in baby room ... Here open for mother to see feeding whereas other places can't go in you won't know what goin on inside
13. Yaya beginning I also not enough milk supply so how? I also can't do anything and my son need milk so what i do I continue latch during day 3 times only cos too tired every hour direct and can't get to rest so I mix till my milk supply is a lot then I stop formula
14. Nannies lazy?? I feel they quite responsible, they operate 7 years already and those nannies very experienced I have been there twice and I'm satisfied wt new rules or else last time baby can bring out for visitors which is not good for babies

Overall okay I feel cos if you prefer 1 to 1 or fully attention I advice you take confinement lady but confinement lady no garentee you can have good rest or know to handle baby well. I know now atleast got breastfeeding talk to help and guide new mothers which are good compare to last time I stay. And if you not happy why you dint talk to the person incharge there?? Now after your confinement only you commend? Atleast you tell them and they can take action right. The lady Angie is there everyday what.
