In most of the world a new mother is surrounded by family for the first forty days. In Dubai that has to be arranged.

Confinement care, done properly
What confinement care includes

One person holding the whole first month together.

Confinement care is broader than postnatal nursing. It covers the mother, the baby, the feeding, the nights and the running of the household around them.

healing

Mother's physical recovery

Wound care after caesarean or tearing, bleeding and vitals monitoring, pain guidance, and the rest she is supposed to be getting.

child_care

Full newborn care

Bathing, cord care, nappies, weight and jaundice monitoring, settling and safe sleep, so the mother is not doing all of it on no sleep.

local_drink

Feeding through the night

Bottle feeds handled entirely. If breastfeeding, the baby is brought to her and the winding, changing and settling are taken over.

nutrition

Confinement nutrition

Warm, recovery-appropriate meals prepared to your cultural preference, whether that is Filipino, Indian, Arab, Chinese or Western practice.

nightlight

Nights covered

The single biggest difference between a good first month and a miserable one. The nurse works the night so the mother sleeps.

schedule

Routine that survives the handover

A feeding and sleep rhythm built deliberately, and taught to you, so it holds after the forty days end.

How families book it

Forty days is the tradition, not the only option.

Live-in, 40 days

The full traditional arrangement. One nurse in the home for the confinement period, days and nights.

Live-in, extended

Many families extend to two or three months, particularly with twins or after a difficult delivery.

Daily, 12 hours

Day cover for households where a live-in room is not available or the family prefers their evenings private.

Nights only

The most cost-effective version. Nights are where the exhaustion compounds, so covering only nights solves most of it.

Twins and multiples

Usually requires more than one carer at some point. We will tell you honestly when one person is not enough.

Booked before the birth

The most common way, and the best. Good confinement nurses are booked months ahead.

Due soon?

Send us your due date and the kind of cover you want. Booking before the birth means you are not arranging staff while recovering from one.

How it works

From first message to care at the door.

Tell us the dates

Due date or delivery date, and how long you want covered.

We match on culture and language

Confinement practice varies enormously by culture. We match a nurse who understands yours rather than one who will argue with it.

You meet her first

Someone living in your home for forty days should be someone you chose.

Handover at the end

Before she leaves, the routine is written down and taught, so the household does not fall apart on day forty one.

Trusted by families across Dubai.

We booked four months before the due date and it was the best decision we made. She was there the day we came home from hospital.

She cooked proper confinement food for my wife, looked after the baby at night and taught us the routine before she left. Worth every dirham.

Forty days of actual sleep after a c-section. I recovered in a way I simply would not have alone.

Aisha M. · Umm Suqeim
★★★★★Google Review

She understood our traditions without us having to explain or defend them. That mattered more than we expected.

Farida H. · Jumeirah

We extended to three months with twins. Honest advice from the start that one person would not be enough at night.

FAQ

Questions families ask before booking.

What is the difference between a confinement nurse and a night nurse?
A night nurse covers the nights only, focused on the baby. A confinement nurse covers the whole arrangement: the mother's recovery, the baby's care, the feeding, the nutrition and usually the nights too, across a set period, typically forty days.
When should I book?
As early as you can, ideally in the second trimester. Experienced confinement nurses are booked months in advance, and the ones still free a week before your due date are free for a reason.
Can she cook confinement meals?
Yes, and to your tradition. Tell us whether you want Filipino, Indian, Chinese, Arab or Western postnatal nutrition and we match accordingly.
Does she need a separate room?
For live-in, yes, a private room and meals. For daily or night-only cover, no. If accommodation is the obstacle, day cover or nights-only usually works just as well.
What if we do not get on with her?
We replace her. It is not a failure, it is a mismatch, and forty days is far too long to spend with the wrong person in your home.
How much does confinement care cost in Dubai?
It depends on live-in versus daily versus nights, the length of the package, and whether it is one baby or twins. Longer packages work out cheaper per day. Message us and you will get a clear number.
