What Should I Pack For a Stay at a Confinement Centre? Most confinement centres prepare all the basic baby needs for you. Therefore when packing, you should focus on yourself.

Your baby will have diapers, toiletries, milk and clothes prepared. However, you can always prepare your own baby clothing and hand them over to the nurses for use. For your own use, you should always take the comfortable pajamas, sarong, t-shirts, toiletries, socks and underwear.

I couldn't agree with some confinement myths such as do not drink plain water, do not shower or wash one's hair, do not read or cry, do not stand and drink water, do not use fans and air-conditioning and etc. Not all, but some confinement nannies adhere to that strictly and this could stress me out.

Most confinement centres also believe in traditional dietary restrictions or practices, but those are backed by science in order to help the new mummies to rejuvenate and re-nourish themselves back to health.

Convenience & 24-Hour Care. In most confinement centres, everything for your newborn is provided for – diapers, clothings, bath products, swaddles and etc. In LYC Mother & Child Centre, they will also prepare warm herbal bath, nursing pyjamas, 5 meals a day, nursing pillow, daily room cleaning services, toiletries and etc for mummies.

You can literally just walk in with a small bag carrying some of your personal belongings. Daddy can opt to stay in too, and a parking spot is provided for daddy's convenience.
