Before given birth to baby mid this year, I have went to research few centres and below are notes and thoughts I have on them. Overall i chose Santorini because of location is nearby my house, and also price is not too expensive, my package is 14k. Only thing I would advice is to expect to pay extra (~RM180 per session) for lactation massage/service if you need one, cos they will refer you to Love Latch if you have lactation issue like engorgement, blocked duct etc.

santorini has good camera placement to view your baby, there is camera which face your baby bed, another which view the bathing area, and another which view the whole baby room where you can see your baby when the nurse feed them.

Garden Gem, Petaling Jaya

Room is the nicest among all the confinement centre I been, very spacious, full of natural light. One of my friend love it there, they have inhouse lactation specialist which can be a major plus

~15.5k and above

2 weeks once doctor visit

Need pay 30% deposit

Luna confinement, Central Residence, Sungei Besi highway 

I quite like Luna as well, the price is reasonable, can’t remember, I think around 13k as well, but 1 main draw back is there is no natural light in whole centre. The room has no window for sunlight!

Has 2 block

For main block: 12 baby 2nd floor, 10 baby 1st floor

1 nurse 3 baby(all the centre will say this ratio)

2nd block 2 floor (7 baby + 7 baby)

Has in house jaundice treatment, Rm120/hr

10am-7pm visiting hour

Provide 80 sanitary pad

Uses Huggies airsoft (Santorini also uses this)

3k deposit, 50% pct (rm300 admin)

Tues 2pm-6pm lactation specialist visit

Olive Dove, Bangsar South. I don’t like this centre, the person who showed me around really feels like sales person and not the motherly caring type 😀 the place feels huge and cold. I don’t feel this suitable for first time mum. However if you not first time mum, this can be a good choice as the room is like a hotel room which is quite big and with balcony! Just remember to ask for room facing morning sun otherwise it will very hot. I don’t like their baby room as it is not entirely viewable from outside. Santorin’s one is much better and fully viewable from camera and also when you walk by. This centre is cheapest among the few I mentioned here, I think got 11.5k when I asked

Huggies diaper

Doctor once a week(HKL)

Complimentary MAM bottle(Santorini also free 1 MAM bottle)

Deposit 3.5k (admin 300)

Below are the food I had in Santorini confinement centre in mid this year. Their food are mostly home cooked, don’t have bought pau, processed sausage etc. the most processed food I think are spaghetti sauce(cream/tomato) which I had few times for breakfast

Dessert in Santorini centre: the most look forward as their dessert are made in-house and very yummy
