Confinement Lady (Pui Yuet)

Recommended Posts

I'm right now in my confinement, i was hesitating whether to put this comment online as it may not be a very good thing to do but 2nd thoughts abt what i've gone thru, it's not fair to mothers here who maybe goin to hire the same CL as i have. i fired my confinement lady - Yoong Jie frm KL after 1 week. She is very lazy, inhygenic. She must watch TV everyday from 3pm till 9.30 pm. when i say hungry then she'll cook, n best part is she's able to cook in 5 mins! faster than i cook maggi noodle. She won't do my laundry everyday initially, she do it alternate day. she doesn't chg bb diapers unless when i check n tell her bb diapers need to be changed. she doesn't clean up the kitchen top after cooking let alone cleaning my laundry and the house!

the inhygenic part, i only found out after she left, she'd cut gingers n left it out in open for few days for my consumtion. no wonder the ginger in my food is black in color. the meat stuff she'd prepare in the fridge (not freezer) for few days for my consumtion was rotten. As my mum was checking thru the fridgre to cook for me, my mum later threw away all the rotten meat! i didnt realise i was eating all the rotten food all whole week.

now my hubby n i are coping by ourselves with the help fr my mum n sister. i feel much happier. Just be very careful when hiring CL, i know my case is not the worst as i've heard much worse cases! and i was told by her, she was booked till Jan next year. Imagine, with this kind of attitude and services, she's booked till next yr. are we really that desperate? So, whoever had booked her, just be vigilent as what is in your plate! no wonder i lost weight so immediately in the 1st week as all my friends n relatives commented. now with the cooking from mummy, hubby n sister, i manage to "po" lil bit i hope.

I have the same experience after calling Pei Ling. I think this organisation is not interested to help mummy-to-be but instead, want to con us!!!

After telling them my EDD, a lady called Connie told me that the price for my confinement lady during the CNY 2011 period is RM 4888, and this is the special price!! WHAT SPECIAL PRICE IS THIS????

And she was also not interested in answering any of my questions like: will the CL be staying the entire 30days in our house? What if we don't have enough rooms for her? Besides the confinement food, will the CL also make the "po pen" (herbal soup and etc to make the body recover quicker)? What help will the CL provide? Standard questions for first time mummy to ask.

All this Connie lady wanted was for me to visit their shop in SS2, and when I said I would like to get more info before going, then she said she will tell me more when I get there. Feeling suspicious and not too desperate yet, I ignored her sms reminding me to go to her shop in SS2. After reading WSYRINRIN's post, I know why she wanted me to go. She wanted to trick me into buying stuff. First time mummies are somewhat gullible and knowing me, I will sure end up buying things if I go there.

Ban Pei Ling in SS2!!!!

2011

Hi All,

I went to Peiling PJ last saturday to pay a visit to them as the SA called me said there are promotion on for their products.... when I reach there the PIC there asking me am I the 1st time here I said yes then she ask me to fill up the form....

When the form completed she read my EDD (8 Aug) she talk to loud & rude to me & said y so last min to look for confinement's stuff etc... my husband was not happy with her already but since we already there so just listen to her for the introduction of the confinement packages....

She actually very simply introduce the products & not really willing to ans my questions :sauer2: then I asked whats the promotion is on now she like so unwilling to tell the full price is RMxxx & now u can get discount at RMxxx (I cant remember the price liao) & keep pushing us to purchase the highest package.... :dash2:

My husband was not very happy abt her services already so he ans her we need to go back & discuss with the parent 1st b4 confirm the deal... then just grab some ginger shampoo & sesame oil & spend a total of RM151.

B4 we left I asked abt the confinement lady services as my friend was interested she ask me again on when her due date & she is 2 weeks after me.... again she is like so surprise & told me she cant get a better deal already & straight finger point to the highest price range of the services & told me even my friend interested might not able to get CF lady.... then i asked her how many CL lady do Peiling have she told me they have abt 300 CF lady for standby... I so curious is their services really so good with 300 ppl back up still cant support the business :wacko3:

So far my 1st visit experience with Peiling really not very good :dry:

I waited for the 12 weeks pantang period before booking confinement lady. Big mistake! I called 6 CL recommended by friends and forum members. All of them are booked up. Some of them even have bookings for April 2011 already! But thank my lucky stars, I managed to book a good CL today. Paid her deposit immediately.

To all moms-to-be out there, if possible, don't wait till pantang period is over before booking the CLs. They are soo "laku" these days. And a lot of them are also accepting jobs in Singapore where the pay is better.

mmcheh, I spoke to one CL who misheard that my EDD is during CNY 2011 (but it is actually March 2011 instead) - she wanted to charge me RM6,000. So in comparison RM4888 is not too bad :P But anyway, agreed, I've heard quite a few bad reviews on pei ling ss2.

hi all, I just delivered my baby 3 mths ago. The confinement lady I hired is very good. Her age is around 50+ , she is very good in cooking. She cooked averagely 3 dishes for me every day for every meal. She is not that calculative person. Before I hire her, I did contact few confinement lady, normally all only cook for mother, and do everything for mother and baby. If u want confinement lady to cook and wash your hubby's clothes, must add money.

But this aunty I told her, nobody cook and wash for my hubby, then she did all for my hubby without adding money.

And she is hardworking too. Normally confinement lady will clean the kitchen only after they cook. but this aubty clean the whole hse for me EVERYDAY! FYI, I was breast feeding my baby during confinement. AUnty wunt wasttin time, she will go and wash the diapers when I breast feed my baby during midnite.

My hubby fetched her to my hse one nite b4 I discharged from hosp. When she reached my hse, she checked all the things in my hse. This is my 1st baby, so alotsa things also I duno and I also duno about the chinese pantang larang. So, after she cheking all the thing, the things that I didn't buy, she asked my hubby to bring her out to buy all the needed things. She even brought her own special pot haha....

The last day when she was here, she cut one box of the ginger foe me, garlic one box, and clear the chicken and cut all for me (just bought from market). She said she prepared all so that I can use it when needed.

The most important thing is the price also reasonable.My hubby and I also very appreciated her so we gave her additional angpao of RM300.

In conclusion, she is very gud la. I am very lucky that I hired her.

Dun misunderstand, she got no re/ship with me ;p and I wunt get any commission from her . Just that I know wanna find a good confinement lady really difficult, so I just wanna help :)

If anyone of u interested, can PM me, I can give the contact no. to you.

hie,Shmily1314.

Im new on MB n saw your post recommending your CL....but i know it's like 3years+ ago since u had her as ur CL.My 2nd child will be due around 21 December 2010 n Im still searching around for a good CL now. Hope u can give me her contact number n name. I'll call her to try my luck to see if she's still available. Thanks a lot

One of my friend intro this CL to me, but since this CL is already taken during CNY 2011, she cannot do for me.

You all can try to call Auntie Alice at 016 673 0103.

My friend said she is patient with babies and not kira sangat, but she did ask for RM 4500 for confinement during CNY though.. so not sure if she don't kira sangat or she already calculated everything in her fees.

Then there is another CL from Ipoh called Hou Jie. You all can contact her at 016 593 2973. I think she prefers if your room has got air-cond. Don't know why she insist sangat. RM 3300 for normal days confinement. CNY is extra RM 1000. I think she is so so only.. so I will not use her/

Good luck to all of you out there who is looking for CL.

(one advise - NEVER USE CONFINEMENT CENTRE. DAMN LOUSY!!!!)

Hi All, currently I am in confinement and it's going to end by next week.

This is actually my second confinement, and I had bad experience with my first one, so I am extremely satisfied with this CL that I am going to recommend her.

I have always this notion that a good CL should loves baby. And this quality is found in the CL that I hired at the moment. She is extremely patient with baby, and at the tiniest sound that my boy made (even at midnite and when she is snoring), she will wake up, get up and take a look at baby, and feed, change nappies. I know this since I am sleeping with baby and CL. (For me, I won't trust strangers with my precious).

She is very "chin chai", clean house, wash clothes (mine, daughter, and hb), cook for both me and hb, even help to take care of my daughter. I dun watch or on my tv, so she dun watch as well.

She also knows what to do, and will take charge once she arrived, so I would suggest to list down your requirement of what needs to do, what to be done, in the beginning.

I have a very comfortable relationship with her, sometimes I even have the feeling she sayang my son more than me, heheh.

Since she is still under my employment, I won't release her contacts yet. But if you need it, just PM me and I will provide her number.

I received no commission. I have had a bad CL before and understand how stressful it is, which is why I am sharing out when I met a good CL. :D

Hi Escudo, Please send me your CL contact at scng2009@gmail.com

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm a newbie here. Tomorrow is my baby full moon and I'm very excited to be released from the confinement period.

The confinement lady which I have is reasonable. She is good in cooking and always cook different dishes for me everyday. She does not mind to cook for my hubby and son as well. She also does all the house chores for me. She is sort of like a family friend to us because she did the confinement for my two sister in-laws and my sister as well. If I'm not mistaken, she is fully booked until Oct/Nov.

Hi csh, Please send me your CF contact at scng2009@gmail.com

Thanks!

Dear all,

I had my confinement 6 months back and man...I had to thank my lucky stars that we got a really good CL through the Confinement Agency.

Actually, getting CL from agency pure luck...it was really a risk to take.

My CL is Sister Yuk (I call her Yuk Cheh)...she is not the super traditional type of CL...as she works alot for those mummies in Spore and to be frank, mummies there are less traditional compare to those here.

She knows what is the limit of things I should and should not do....all the pantang and stuffs la.

To cut short my story, she is really a CL who really does her part...even if she had to sleep only 4 hrs at nite as my bb took some time to adjust to day and night time.

Her daily routine is to wake up 7 ish and start preparing the things for me for the day...boil water, cut ginger, wash my clothes and bb clothes, prepare by breakfast.

She would ask what I like to eat for breakfast and if I am ok with what she plan to cook for me.

She wash and hang my clothes and bb clothes...

Then she will start preparing for lunch for me...

After lunch she wash up and alternate days she would help me clean my hse...sweep and mop the floors and wash the toilets.

Then she will prepare water for me to wash up...and change the ginger water.

After all done, she will then take short nap with the bb then wakes up and prepare herself for dinner.

She don't eat the food she cook for me instead she will cook for herself as she will get sick eating my confinement food...TOO HEATY :)

At night she will start to put the soup or dessert to boil for the next day and always make sure i finish my red dates water as she will boil 1 big pot for me everyday.

She make sure I don't walk too much and stay in bed as much as possible.

And most importantly, she supports breastfeeding as I know some CL are lazy to bring the bb over to the mummy's room especially during the night time.

She is more excited than me when she sees the amt of milk I extract during each pump. Haha...

And of course...she LOVES BABY.

But really is not easy to book her and she is usually very booked out also most of the time.

Therefore if possible, do look for ur CL as early as possible.

Do PM me if you need her contact.

Hi! Just to share my experience with my CL.

Currently I'm still in confinement and as my own mum (long story there) and MIL (not around anymore), I'm really grateful for hiring a CL instead of DIY confinement. The CL is really helpful and more important negotiable. She will ask what u want to eat daily and recommend which meal and what type of herbs to take. She's 50yo and not those typical aunty type CL, she is friendly and for mummy-to-be, a person who can talk and chat with u is very comforting. Another plus point is she even teach me how to breastfeed (latch on) and carry bb. She even boiled papaya soup for help to encourage milk production in the few days after i was discharged from hospital. She is very cincai, she cooks for my hb (lunch and dinner) without extra charge and sweeps and mop the floor every day... wash bb clothes, fold clothes and other house chores. Really thankful found this aunty.

Hi Pinky,

May I know how much you pay for your confinement lady? I am expecting in 4th feb 2010 and because this is very close to CNY so I have not get a confinement lady yet.

Step L...

Can anybody please PM me the above CL's contact? My email is angelineyeoh@hotmail.com

Thanks a lot.

Hi, I am a new member....looking for CL in March 2011. Anyone still keep the contact info about the above CL, pls email me at caysk@hotmail.com and/or linhsw2002@yahoo.com
