Bondavilla is really good! You get what you pay for: cloth nappies, clothes for newborn, branded organic toiletries for yourself and baby, multiple meals per day with portion that is not small as you need all the nutrients for body and breastfeeding, sleep on Getha bed, herbal bath, post natal massage covered depending on package (if you want, extend the post natal package), meal and laundry for father (which is really important as I needed my husband by my side daily). The drinks provided to keep your milk supply up is refillable as much as you want and they will change it for you every day.

I stayed there recently as I wanted peace of mind, and most importantly to be able to breastfeed. The nurses and consultants were very patient with me and my baby, and eventually I managed to breastfeed fully.

If you are not into full breastfeeding, this is not the place for you as the nurses will come knocking the door for direct latch every 2 hours. If you're up to it, then you're encouraged to have baby sleeping with you so that you can bond even more and to feed on demand. I got a lot of tips in this place ie how to burp the baby, how to feed the baby correctly, how to store pumped milk, how to baby wear etc. If you're lucky, you get to join classes arranged by the place. The recent one I attended is how to massage baby, which is very beneficial for me to increase bonding time and also to soothe when baby is colicky or is teething.

I have amazing experience there and it helps that I happen to stay nearby the place. I get visitors and since it's a big semi-d, the living room is big enough to cater to a big group of family members. Of course we have to be mindful of other mothers who want rest and not make a ruckus.
