What’s next after your 1st month of Confinement?

By Money Saving Daddy


Everyone is telling you about the 1 month confinement. You cannot do this, you must do that. And all the focus is on the 1st month. But no one is telling you what is next after that?

What are you gonna do without the help of confinement nanny if you are hiring one.

Maybe you celebrate the little one’s 1 Month. And you are on your own for the 3 months. Because your maternity leaves 4 months mah.

Some cannot tahan the 4 months at home maybe will go work earlier.

So what is the post-confinement plans? Has anyone thought about it?

More importantly, how to settle  your meals?

Your baby is settled, how about the mummy staying at home?

Imagine:

  • Mummy is home alone
  • Daddy is working
  • Parents/In Laws not available
  • No one to help

How like that?

How to settle the post confinement plans like:

  • Food
  • Grocery Shopping
  • Baby Essentials
  • Mummy Essentials
  • Bring LO to the Doctors for check up


Food

One of the most headache part of the maternity leave that no one tells you about it.

Imagine you are alone at home, your husband is working, your parents and in-laws are busy.

Actually hor, now is very convenient even you are at home during your maternity leave.

There are so many food apps that you can use to order food to your house.

You can even order hawker centre food as well!

Food Delivery Apps

Nowadays really very convenient liao. So many food delivery apps in Singapore. And currently still throwing out promo codes. If you are a new user lagi best also!

Of course, the availability of certain food depends on your location too. But for sure, there is Mcdonalds. And if you are a frequent user of grabfood. You can explore their grabclub food pass. $8 per month for 30 deliveries.

  • Grab Food
  • Food Panda
  • Honest Bee
  • Deliveroo
  • WhyQ - This is the hawker centre one (Use my referral code C05783 while registering to get $3 off)

Order Ting Kat

If not, you can also order Ting Kat. We ordered Tingkat for 1 Month because that time I surgery and Mummy was at home also.

So we went Foodline.com to see, and there is promotional for Trial Tingkat for 5 - 10 days. So you order different vendors for each promotion

Become 1 Month lor.

Each pax less than $5. You have 3 dishes and a soup. Where to find sia?

And if you are ordering some Tingkat on a longer timeline, you can sign up via here and get 500 points. 

Grocery Shopping

Okay, maybe you have someone to help you cook your meals. But you still need to buy grocery if you want convenience. You can actually order your groceries online!

So far, the more popular ones we tried are.

  • Redmart
  • NTUC - Fairprice Online
  • Amazon Prime (2Hours delivery!)
  • Honestbee


Baby Essentials

Basically, most of our stuffs are bought online from Shopee, Lazada and Qoo10.

There are times where some stuffs cannot buy from these site, we will go Pupsik to get it.

And if we cannot wait, then no choice go to Kiddy Palace to get the stuffs.

You can read here for the baby essentials and where to get it.

Mummy Essentials

There are many mummy essentials after postpartum. And one of it is the breastpumping equipments.

There is a whole wide range and topic on breastpumping.

But we recommend is actually using Spectra Breast Pump and also Philips Avent Bottles.

Because they are compatible with each other, so you no need to panic when you don’t have enough bottles.

And of course, most of the items can be bought from  Shopee, Lazada and Qoo10.

Bringing the Little One to the doctor

We also encourage new parents to go polyclinics for the vaccination and jaundice follow ups. Because for infants less than 1 month, you have the priority queue. You just need to register at the kiosk and then the counter. You will be given a priority queue number.

Super fast one. The next in line will be you already.

And the fees are very affordable also. It cost like $16 to get all these follow-ups compared to $80-$100 you are paying for a Paediatrician at a private clinic.

So what are other things that you will be expecting after your post confinement?
