• In the olden days, the month immediately after delivery is considered a time that we’ve to really cares of ourselves and is call confinement period. This is because during this period the mother's physiological and mentally change. Traditional Chinese , Malays , and even some Europeans nowadays believe that when we take good of ourself during these period, we will be healthier when we’re old.
• According to ancient Chinese text, women who follow the traditions taboos (pantang) during this period are said to be 'doing the month' when the new mothers and her baby are practically confined to their room. Some practice 30 days to 40 days for their confinement period. It is probably from here that the word "confinement" is coined.
• The practice of not bathing and washing hair in the old days are understandable because in ancient China everyone has very long hair and it takes a longer time to dry the hair after washing. In addition, most of the old houses are draughty so it is easy to catch a chill whether during confinement or not. Our mothers and grandmothers believe that if we bath during the confinement month you will develop joint pains in your old age. However, the bath water must be boiled and infused with water from boiled herbs. Somewhere over the years someone introduced the tradition of bathing with a whole concoction of herbs in the water such as lemongrass ,ginger and some other herbs.
• If the newly delivered mother uses up all her energy with strenuous work and is over tired during this confinement period, she will not be able to produce sufficient milk for her baby. Remember, in the old days all babies are exclusively breast fed. Also it takes about 6 - 8 weeks for the body to return to its pre-pregnant state therefore the confinement is to ensure that the mothers properly recovers from the stress of childbirth.For those of you who are still unsure about the value of traditional practices my advice is that sometimes it may be easier to comply with the elders' advice for the sake of peace even though you may feel very uncomfortable for a few days. Then there will always be this doubt about what will happen if we do not comply to their advise. Later, if we complain of aches and pains we will definitely hear this phrase "I told you take gd cares so and so on". My advise some of these taboos ( pantang) we should follow and some we should not e.g on bathing. Advisable for us to have a quick bath daily, as we need to attend to our baby. Hygiene is most important during our confinement.
• you and your baby to relax
• your baby to sleep better
• with your baby's digestion and relief of colics
• strengthen your baby's immune system
• develop the muscle tone and co-ordination of your baby you and your baby grow in confidence with each other

Hi,
After my miscarriage I felt very depressed together with body aches and pains. Two weeks later I decided to call Malay Postnatal Retreats ( Mdm Midah). To my surprise, she was very friendly and clear all my doubts regarding my miscarriage. I feel much better inside and out after the 7 days massage. It was a very professional and I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and relatives without any doubt. Thank you for the friendly service, and I will definitely engage you for my post-natal massage if I were to get pregnant again.

Hi ,
After the post-natal massage I felt that I should have done it earlier after my 1st birth to my son. I am very pleased with the effects after the massage. Mdm Midah was a very responsible and she is a very professional . She knows actually where and how to solve the problems that I had after this miscarriage. This was supposed to be my second pregnancy. The lemongrass oils used was good and make me falls asleep during my sessions. Her massage is very comfortable. She is very cheerful and a friendly . I will sure engage her service for my next pregnancy again. Tks.

Dear,
I called up a few providers to enquire about post-natal massage and I found Malay Postnatal Retreat most helpful and patient in explaining the process to me, therefore I decided to try it out. On my first day, I felt so soothen and relaxed that I sleep very well every nite after the massage. I really liked the way Mdm Dina teased out and soothed my tired muscles especially my poor aching feet. Besides this, she also advised me on breast engorgement, stretch marks and cellulite. I find her very professional as most important I was able to see my tummy reduced by few sessions. Best Rgds.

Hi Malay Retreat,
Got to know Malay Postnatal Retreat service through the website and I decided to took up my Postnatal massage with them. The results were good as initially I had quite a lot of aches and pains during my second pregnancy and surprisingly after the massage, I felt less aches and also lighter than before. After giving birth I had the 10 days post-natal massage with wrap and the result was good. All the lumps and water retention reduced and most importantly my tummy had slimmed down too. Before the massage, my tummy was flabby and I had bad aches. Now all these have reduced. I feel more confident and energetic than before. I really appreciate your friendliness and advise which you have given throughout my sessions.
