The first 30 days after delivery, also known as the confinement period, is a time for your body to rest and recuperate from childbirth. A balanced diet during confinement is the key to replenishing your body’s stores, especially if you are breastfeeding. Confinement meals are specially crafted to ensure that your body receives enough nutrients to recalibrate your body. These foods are usually rich in protein and iron, include ‘warm’ herbs like old ginger that promote blood circulation and contain lactation-boosting ingredients like papaya to boost breast milk supply.

All mummies would know about popular confinement dishes like black vinegar pig trotters to purge ‘wind’ from the body or comforting favourites like green papaya fish soup to boost milk production. But confinement meals don’t have to be limited to just these staples. At Tian Wei Signature, delight your tastebuds with Chinese-Japanese or even Chinese-Mediterranean cuisines that retain the use of traditional confinement ingredients.

Perfect for first-time mothers who want to take their mind off postpartum recovery and not have to worry about confinement meals or routines, The Clover Suites is your one-stop confinement service centre and it’s all just a check-in away!

A luxury confinement experience

The main reception area is decked in calming, minimalistic woody tones as you check in to one of the nine spacious luxury suites on the level 2, 3 and 4.

Each suite comes with an en-suite bathroom, wardrobe, pantry/study table and a mini freezer. Guests are entitled to complimentary Wi-Fi throughout their stay.

The rooms are decked with full-length French windows to allow abundant natural sunlight to stream in so that you can enjoy the outdoors in the comfort of your room. The Clover Suites uses a very muted colour palette of white and green to create a calming and relaxing atmosphere.

Everything in the room is conveniently accessed via remote control, from the blackout curtains to the air conditioners and even the smart TV. The TV has also been pre-installed with Netflix, HBO, YouTube and many other channels for your viewing pleasure.

The en-suite bathroom is outfitted with a backlit beauty mirror, glass-enclosed shower area and in-house quality bathroom amenities. There is also an emergency call button right beside the toilet to alert the staff if there are any problems.

The Café Lounge at Level 2

Confinement meals are the most important part of postpartum recovery, and the team of dedicated in-house chefs and dietician at The Clover Suites are committed to serving up nourishing confinement meals during your stay.

There will be five meals served throughout the day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, afternoon tea and supper. All meals are carefully calibrated by their in-house dietician to ensure that mummies are getting the nourishment needed to recover their strength and boost milk production.

In addition to this, beverages are available throughout the day, such as water and red dates tea which helps replenish ‘qi’ in the body. 

This whole floor is dedicated to pampering sessions for mummies with treatment rooms that boasts a full range of service from facials to herbal hair washes. All guests are entitled to postnatal massages, premium facial and herbal hair wash as per room type/package during your stay.

Mothers are generally discouraged from washing their hair after giving birth as you may catch a cold or migraine when the ‘wind’ enters your body. Instead, herbal hair washes are recommended to purge ‘wind’ from your body while relieving mild swelling and pain. While this is usually troublesome to prepare by yourself, the staff would have all these ready during your stay at The Clover Suites for a relaxing shower. Herbal hair washes are also complemented with a head massage that works wonders for blood circulation and prevents postpartum hair loss.

24-hour Professional Nursing and Baby Care at Level 3

Not sure when and how to nurse your little ones? This floor has a dedicated nursing team with outstanding training from Thompson Medical Centre to provide your little ones with round-the-clock nursing care, so that you can focus on recovery without having to worry about the little things. This attentive team will attend to your baby’s every need from feeding to changing diapers and even bath time. Especially for first-time moms, the nursing team will happily share their expertise when it comes to essential baby-care knowledge such as breastfeeding.

All you need to do is focus on mother-baby bonding time during breastfeeding and the dedicated nannies are there to help you ensure that your baby is well taken care of the rest of the time while you focus on recuperating. Whenever you feel like bonding with your baby, just head on over to the Nursery on level 3 to enjoy some quality bonding time.

Save Those Precious Memories

All stays at The Clover Suites include a professional baby photography session by Studio Memory to preserve the precious memories of your bundle of joy before they grow up. The best part of this is the hassle-free process as everything will be arranged by The Clover Suites, from props to outfits. The photo negatives will be shared with you to look back on these precious moments for years to come.

Collaboration with Baby Steps Medical

Does my baby have jaundice? Is it normal for my baby’s umbilical cord stump to bleed a little? Is my baby’s crying due to hunger or colic? With all these medical questions and concerns that mothers may have, when should you be calling a doctor?

You no longer have to worry about troubleshooting these medical issues by yourself as The Clover Suites is dedicated to offering holistic health care for your little ones with weekly visits by an experienced team of doctors from Baby Steps Medical. The team is specially trained to manage your newborn’s health care needs and address any common health issues to give you peace of mind. A complimentary first screening for jaundice will also be done during your baby’s stay at The Clover Suites.

Is it worth it to stay at the confinement centre? 

It will typically cost you between $3,000 to $4,500 to hire a confinement nanny, and that is not even including additional costs like ang pows, ingredients for confinement meals and higher electricity bills due to excessive washing and cooking. On top of that, there are also costs involved when going for postpartum massages or herbal hair washes. 

It may be worth checking into The Clover Suites to enjoy a luxurious stay at an all-inclusive confinement centre. Prices start from $6,888 for 14 days, making a choice consideration for your postpartum confinement period when considering the cost involved of confinement at home with a nanny.
