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.
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! While our website doesn’t currently support customisation options, you can easily 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!
Can I customize my meals?
We understand every mummy has different tastebuds and food preference, we can customize up to 3 changes for you. (i.e. no broccoli, no eggs for first week, no salmon). We do encourage mummies to have a well-balanced and nutritious diet during their postpartum stage to facilitate postpartum healing & to be open to trusting our well-planned menu suited for recovery.
