Live-in Nanny35% moms chose this path
Hiring an experienced nanny to stay at your home for a month.
Suits Moms who want traditional care in the comfort of their own familiar space. You get round-the-clock help with baby duties and daily herbal meals, though privacy is reduced.

Siew Lin Z.. · Experienced mom · Baby at 3 months
Aunty cooked amazing meals and handled all the night feeds so I could rest. Just be prepared to compromise on your personal space.
Confinement Centre30% moms chose this path
Checking into a specialised facility for professional nursing care and prepared meals.
Suits first-time Moms with a higher budget who want hotel-like comfort and professional lactation support. You rest completely while nurses handle the baby, but it costs significantly more.

Farhana Q.. · First-time mom · Baby at 5 months
Worth every ringgit for the breastfeeding support and 24-hour nursery. My husband loved that he didn't have to do any chores either.
Visiting Care25% moms chose this path
Booking daily massage packages or food delivery while family helps at home.
Suits value-conscious Moms or those who prefer privacy and already have family members helping out. You get traditional massages and nutritious meals delivered without having a stranger live in.

I booked a 14-day Malay massage package and ordered confinement food delivery. Much cheaper than a centre, and my mother-in-law helped with baby.

Expert guidance

The 30 to 40 days after childbirth are crucial for physical recovery and tissue healing. iMoney notes a live-in confinement lady typically costs around RM5,000 to RM7,000, while specialised centres or visiting care offer alternative support. What matters most is that Moms secure reliable help, as adequate rest is essential during this 6-week recovery window.
