Families typically begin by reaching out via WhatsApp, phone, or the online enquiry form to check nanny availability for their expected confinement period. The agency will discuss dietary preferences (for example, Cantonese herbal soups versus a dairy-based diet), overnight care requirements, and any special requests related to the mother's recovery or newborn care. As confinement nannies are in high demand, particularly around Chinese New Year and year-end birth peaks, it is advisable to begin enquiring at least four to six months before the estimated due date. Once a nanny is identified, families are encouraged to conduct an interview before confirming the booking to ensure compatibility on food preferences, routines, and working expectations.
To take the next step, contact Mother & Child Singapore via WhatsApp or phone to check nanny availability for your confinement window, discuss your dietary and care preferences, and request a booking confirmation with all agreed terms in writing.

I’m so glad I found Mother & Child. I’ve seen several lactation consultants across two breastfeeding journeys, and Athina is by far the best. She is confident, systematic, and extremely effective. I was close to giving up on breastfeeding this time due to latching issues that another LC couldn’t resolve, but after my visit with Athina, everything improved and breastfeeding has been going smoothly. The clinic environment is also calm and pleasant, which made a big difference. I would highly recommend Mother & Child to any mother planning to breastfeed or needing support along the way.

Discovered Mother & Child through a friend and I’m so glad that I decided to attend a Baby Cafe session. It has now become a part of our weekly routine! Each weekly topic has been enriching especially to a FTM. I also love that there are other classes or consults that you can attend, according to your needs. Dr Mythili and her team are very warm, welcoming and knowledgeable as well! I have since become more confident of going out alone with baby and personally recommend M&C to any mom friend I know (:

Went for the prenatal weekend 1 day class as well as consulted the Lactation Director Dr Mythili for 2 home visits. While the class was average and some information wasn't covered / known despite running over schedule (as we got a newer trainer), the LC doctor we contacted after delivery has been AMAZING. She was there for me personally and professionally on house visits (since the babies schedule is so unpredictable, and we didn't want to expose a newborn to cabs), I was at one of my lowest points in life trying to navigate BF and a newborn and she really helped us with medical advice for me (mastisis) and the baby (latching etc) and post that as well has checked up via WhatsApp a few times and been there to answer questions we had. We have also recommended her to other friends, thanks so much again Dr M for being non judgemental and just very kind with our journey.

As a first-time mum, I sought lactation consultations during a vulnerable postpartum period, hoping to receive guidance that was both supportive & empathetic. Unfortunately, my experience with Dr Mythili felt transactional, and lacked the empathetic support & guidance I had hoped for. Months into my breastfeeding journey, I still feel emotionally impacted by this experience. Although I sent my concerns to M&C before the first consultation, I was asked to describe/repeat them at the beginning of the session. While describing my challenges, it was commented that there were so many issues going on, and the session duration was only 1 hour. I felt rushed and overwhelmed. I was also told that I should have sought help earlier, as baby was already 3 weeks old, which made me feel discouraged rather than supported. There were also instances where assumptions appeared to be made; I felt there was a lack of open discussion in seeking to clarify or fully understand my concerns. I also experienced inconsistency around communication. From the first session, I was assured that baby had a good suckle and tongue anatomy. In the second session, it was concluded that baby had low drinking efficiency, attributed to likely tongue tie. I was surprised and confused. While assessments can evolve, I had expected earlier and more transparent communication on observations that might be concerning. Dr M recommended to seek a paediatric dentist’s diagnosis on the tongue tie. When I asked about osteopathy as a complementary treatment or option, the responses felt dismissive. I was told that osteopaths are unable to diagnose tongue tie as they are allied health professionals. Having no prior knowledge in this area, I didn’t understand at that time. I later learnt that osteopathy can often help alleviate tension caused by tongue tie. Clearer explanation around the advice would have been helpful. I also felt that the second session—mainly focused on seeking a paediatric dentist’s diagnosis on tongue tie—which cost $135 for 45 minutes, did not provide enough new guidance to justify the fee. Additionally, there were administrative issues regarding the referral to a paediatric dentist, which I was sent back & forth to follow up. This was eventually resolved with help from the dental clinic staff, who offered to contact M&C directly. Overall, the experience had a negative emotional impact on my breastfeeding journey. First-time mums with newborns are often vulnerable and need empathy, encouragement, and clear, supportive guidance. Unfortunately, this was not what I experienced here.

Mother & Child is an absolute sanctuary for new mums - whether it’s your first baby or your third (and beyond). It’s one of those rare, safe, nurturing places where you can meet other mums, speak to experts, or simply tuck yourself away to feed your baby in peace. If there were more places like this in the world, motherhood would feel so much lighter for so many women. Dr Mythili and the entire team are incredibly warm, compassionate and genuinely supportive. I’m so grateful this place exists. Highly recommended for any new mum.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Mother & Child Singapore charge for confinement?›
Mother & Child Singapore prices its services on a package basis (displayed as $$), though the specific 28-day package fee was not published at the time of this listing. For context, the Singapore market for confinement nanny packages typically ranges from S$3,500 to S$6,500 for a standard 28-day engagement, depending on the nanny's experience, language spoken, dietary tradition, and whether the package includes herbal soups and confinement food or treats these as separate costs. Some agencies also offer a 56-day extended option. When requesting a quote, confirm what is bundled: overnight care, baby bathing, mother's recovery support, herbal soup preparation, and any food ingredients. Ask whether GST applies and whether there are additional charges for public holidays falling within the confinement period. See the full confinement nanny cost guide for Singapore →
How far ahead should I book Mother & Child Singapore?›
The general rule for confinement nanny bookings in Singapore is a minimum of four to six months before your estimated due date. Popular and experienced nannies at established agencies are frequently booked six to twelve months in advance, particularly for births around the Lunar New Year period or year-end school holidays when demand peaks. When you make initial contact, the agency will typically ask for your expected delivery date, dietary preferences (for example, Cantonese herbal cooking versus a dairy-based postnatal diet), whether you prefer a nanny who speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, or English, and any specific requirements around newborn care routines. Securing a slot early gives you time to conduct a proper interview before committing.
Is the nanny trained and what happens if she is unsuitable?›
There is currently no mandatory government certification for confinement nannies in Singapore, so training standards vary. Reputable agencies typically screen for experience (number of prior confinements), knowledge of postnatal recovery practices, herbal soup preparation, and infant care basics such as latching support and newborn bathing. Ask Mother & Child Singapore directly about the nanny's background and references. When booking through an agency rather than hiring a freelance nanny directly, you gain the benefit of a replacement policy if the assigned nanny is unwell, withdraws, or proves to be a poor fit. Confirm the replacement terms in writing before signing — specifically, the window within which a replacement is provided, how many replacements are included, and what circumstances are covered. Freelance nannies tend to be lower cost but offer no recourse if issues arise.
