Last year I had my confinement in Bondavilla for my twin babies. It is not as good as my expectation. The fee is about RM12,000 for 28 days,
but i just stayed for one week and decided to give up and i compensated 50% about RM6000 to them.
I have very good supply of breastmilk, before i stay in Bondavilla, I used breast pump to pump out in hospital so that I can keep some stock after I go to work and my boys can drink the stock.
After i checked in Bondavilla, i only knew that they are not allow to use breast pump unless you get special approval from their management because they said they are breast feeding friendly centre and they want mum to direct latch their baby. They said I have oversupply and insisted that I cannot manual express or pump after direct latch because they want to help me to reduce my supply. My breast was engorged for the whole night.
Another mummy opposite my room also face the same problem. She has fever after bondavilla doesnt allow her to use the breast pump, the breast is engorged.
After few times complaint and negotiation, finally they allowed us to use breastpump inside the room.
The business owner and lactation consultant will come to centre to take care the mummy.
However, almost all of the nurses are very young and they are not mother yet, the most experience nurse is only two years experience.
My premie doesnt know how to suck the breast milk well and the nurse inserted their finger into my baby for mouth stimulation without washing their finger in advance. The lactation consultant also inserted her finger without washing in advance and her nail is very long. I really do not like it.
Overall, the environment in Bondavilla is very clean and comfortable. Bed is also high quality. Food is nice. but i do not like their in house rules. I think they are too commercialized and the nurse is not caring enough.
It is depend on person. I think for certain person who enjoy direct latch and dont like to use breast pump, it might be good place for them.
Confinement Centres. Any experience to share?
