What does the confinement center do?

A confinement center is generally a place that provides professional postpartum recovery (i.e. confinement) services for mothers. It is also called a confinement club. There are professional nutritionists who are responsible for providing confinement meals to mothers, helping them to recover as soon as possible, providing feeding knowledge, and professional nurses to take care of the babies.

Postpartum care centers are very popular in Taiwan and other places. Mothers will go to postpartum care centers to recuperate after giving birth, instead of staying at home. Therefore, most postpartum women in Taiwan have scientifically conditioned their lower body and maintained a healthy and fit figure. Some white-collar workers choose to live directly in postpartum care centers instead of going home after giving birth in hospitals, leaving all matters to the medical staff of the postpartum care centers.
