The birth of a first child is a strenuous and emotional experience for every new mother. That is why people in Asia believe new mothers need to undergo a confinement period for about a month or so to fully restore their body's health.
During confinement periods, new mothers have to rest for 90% of the day and not leave their houses. They also have to eat nutritious food to heal well. Some cultures in Asia say new mothers can not wash their hair within the confinement period, while some say new mothers cannot be exposed to cold air from the air-conditioner. Nevertheless, confinement culture is still prominent in Asia. As a result, confinement centres are built. Here are the 6 best confinement centres in Sabah that new mothers can stay in.
What is a confinement centre?
A confinement centre provides mothers who recently had their first newborn a place to rest for a month or more. Facilities of confinement centres are usually spacious and cosy. Services such as postnatal treatment and care, baby care and serving of nutritious meals will be provided for mothers upon staying in.
How much does staying in a confinement centre cost?
It all depends on how long a mother will be staying in the centre. Some centres will provide a package plan that provides a lower cost for staying in their centres. On average, prices to stay in a confinement centre range from RM13000 to RM 80000.
