Hi, I would like to have some suggestions on good confinement Centre in KL area.

I read reviews from some confinement Centre and most of the confinement Centre had some amount of very bad reviews, which made me scare about it.

I was thinking to have basic meals and good care on baby only.
What other things should I consider when I survey for confinement Centre?
Are there any hidden charges I should be aware of?

Went to best month Kota kemuning. Expensive but good service. Peace of mind

First of all, you need to decide how much you're willing to pay. Good confinement centers aren't cheap. Think about it, running a center is a costly business: it's akin to running a boutique hotel + confinement catering + 24-hour newborn nursery. Staffing is the biggest concern, as you know good confinement ladies are pricey these days, so imagine trying to maintain a roster of nurses/midwives. FYI, the good centers cost north of RM15k in Klang Valley, so if you come across a center that charges below RM10k, think about what they are skimping on.
Personally, I would never trust those centers and if my budget was tight, I would seriously consider hiring a good confinement lady instead.

Secondly, when you visit confinement centers, check their nursery:
- Is it hygienic? Do they sterilize all feeding equipment and carefully label them?
- Is it safe & secured? Can any Tom, Dick & Harry enter the center without permission?
- Who are staffing the nursery? Qualified nurses on shift? mid-wives who are working 24 hours? If you get the chance to observe them handle the babies, great!
- What is the nurses/mid-wives to baby ratio?

To me, the nursery is the most important aspect of a center. You might have the most comfortable room or most delicious food served, but none of it matters if your baby is mis-handled. If you're not sure what to look out for, visit the expensive ones. Get an idea of how a proper center should be run. Then, ask the appropriate questions. Check reviews online etc.

FYI, you can read about my review of LYC TTDI Confinement Center here:

There was no hidden charges levied at us by LYC, what we were quoted was exactly what we paid. Only extra was for a bottle of coconut oil for massage. If you have any question, I'll be happy to answer
