What’s the Difference Between a Trial Meal and A La Carte Meal?
Our Trial Meal is specially curated for pregnant mummies who want a preview of our 28-day confinement menu before committing to a package. You can choose between the Dragon or Phoenix set, both crafted with nourishing ingredients delivered on selected days for dinner only (Tues, Fri, Sat, 3.30–7.15pm). It’s also a chance for us to learn your preferences and tailor your meals later on.
Meanwhile, our à la Carte Meal is a flexible, one-off order for anyone craving a wholesome confinement meal without committing to a full plan. It features our Meal of the Day based on our rotating menu, perfect for when your confinement nanny’s off or you simply want something nourishing. Just order 1 day before by 2 PM and select lunch or dinner delivery!
What is Confinement Food?
Confinement food, also known as recovery food, is a series of dishes and soups specially planned for postpartum/post-surgery mummies, helping them to recover well, expel wind from their body, and promote breast milk production.
How long should we take recovery food to fully recover?
Every individual is different, but we highly recommend at least 1 month of recovery time for postpartum mothers to help with recovery as well as promote breast milk production. A minimum of 14 days (2 weeks) is recommended for post-surgery recovery.
Are you halal-certified?
Unfortunately, as of now, Mama J’s Confinement Food is focusing on Chinese Confinement Food, so we are not halal. However, we can explore no pork, no lard, and no alcohol options if desired.
Are the meals different daily/weekly?
Yes, you will enjoy different dishes and meals DAILY for 28 days.
Do you have options for brown rice?
Yes, brown rice option is available with only an additional of $3/meal top-up.
Is your food lactation-friendly?
Mama J’s Confinement Meals are thoughtfully crafted with lactation-friendly ingredients to help naturally boost milk supply and support postpartum recovery.
We also partner with trusted professionals to provide breastfeeding classes, so you can get both nourishment and expert guidance during this important stage. Stay tuned for more info on this!
Can I consume chicken / eggs during first week of postpartum?
We highly recommend mummies to directly ask their doctors on what should not be consumed. Mama J’s has worked alongside doctors, nutritionists and confinement nannies, and they all agree that it is recommended to consume eggs & chicken during the recovery period as protein helps a lot with recovery.
Do you have single meal packages too? (i.e. Lunch OR Dinner only)
Yes, we do offer flexible confinement meal packages!
You can easily purchase the Single Confinement Meals here or WhatsApp us to personalise your meal plan, whether you prefer lunch only, dinner only, or want to adjust the duration of your confinement meal package.
We’re happy to tailor it to your recovery needs and schedule!
