For new mothers navigating the tender, exhausting, and deeply personal journey of postpartum recovery, they deserve all the acknowledgement that what they are going through matters, that they deserve care, and that they do not have to do it alone.
This May, Yanxi Mama is honouring that truth in the most tangible way possible. To celebrate Mother's Day month, every package purchased in May comes with two complimentary gifts: a prenatal or lactation massage and a 1-hour baby photoshoot. Because every mum is beautiful, and every new baby deserves to be remembered at their tiniest.
Whether you are in the early stages of your pregnancy or preparing for the arrival of your little one, this is the month to make your confinement decision, and here is how Yanxi Mama can assist in this process.
The Philosophy Behind Yanxi Mama’s Care
At its heart, Yanxi Mama is a confinement nanny agency built on a simple but powerful belief: that the right support during confinement can change everything. Not just for the baby, but for mothers too. This takes into consideration her physical recovery, her emotional wellbeing, her confidence, and her identity as she steps into this new chapter of life.
With Yanxi Mama, every family goes through a thorough initial consultation so that Yanxi's team genuinely understands what you need, accounting for your household, your preferences, your recovery goals, your family dynamics. Only then does the matching process begin. And if the first match does not feel right, Yanxi Mama offers complimentary unlimited nanny changes, with a reallocation timeline of just 3 to 4 working days.
This is a level of commitment that is rare in the industry, and it matters enormously during a period of life when stress is already running high and the last thing a new mother needs is to feel stuck.
A Confinement Experience Tailored to You
Traditional Package
The word "traditional" sometimes gets a bad reputation, as if it means outdated or basic. At Yanxi Mama, that could not be further from the truth. The Traditional Package is the industry standard done exceptionally well.
This package focuses on matching a nanny for comprehensive baby care: feeding (whether breastmilk or formula), burping, diaper changes, bathing, soothing, monitoring sleep, and keeping a close eye on the baby's overall health and hygiene. The nanny will also handle laundry for both mum and baby, maintain cleanliness in the baby's room, and keep the kitchen and bathroom areas hygienic.
Unlike many agencies that operate a tiered pricing structure, where you pay more if you want a more experienced or skilled nanny, Yanxi Mama does not stratify their nannies by rank. Every family, regardless of which package they choose, has access to the same pool of experienced, carefully vetted nannies. If you book early, you could be matched with one of Yanxi's most seasoned caregivers, a woman with decades of experience and an intuitive understanding of newborn care. The playing field is level, and the priority is fit.
The Traditional Package includes 30 days of herbal bath packs, complimentary online classes, and a free TCM consultation. Customisation options are available, and packages run across three durations: 14 days (Lunar), 28 days (Happiness), and 56 days (Harmony).
Modern™ Package
The Modern Package includes everything in the Traditional Package, plus intentional, personalised care for the mother herself.
Nannies in the Modern tier undergo additional training. They are equipped with deeper theoretical knowledge of newborn care, which means they can genuinely guide new parents by explaining the why behind feeding schedules, sleep cues, and recovery timelines, rather than simply going through the motions. They are also trained to cook modernised confinement meals using lighter, healthier ingredients that support recovery without the heaviness or greasiness that many mothers find difficult in traditional confinement food.
These nannies also tend to be younger and more energetic, which means they can sustain quality care through night duties over an extended period,which is a practical reality that matters enormously when you are trying to rest and recover.
Beyond the nanny's role, the Modern Package introduces dedicated, one-to-one consultant support for the mother. Yanxi's consultants work closely with each mum to understand and actively support her recovery goals, whether that is postpartum weight management, rebuilding core strength, healing efficiently, or simply feeling like herself again. This is not a checkbox exercise. It is a genuine, ongoing relationship built around what the mother actually needs.
Yanxi also uniquely supports the entire family unit through the Modern Package, including in-house classes designed specifically for new dads. The exclusive "New Dad's Secret to Peace" class (strictly for fathers) equips husbands with practical, honest guidance on how to support their wives during confinement so that the household dynamic is one of partnership.
The Modern Package includes all Traditional Package inclusions, plus modernised slimming meals and a complimentary baby photoshoot.
Modern PLUS™ Package
For mothers who want the fullest possible confinement experience, Modern PLUS is in a category of its own.
Everything in the Modern Package is included, but in the Modern PLUS tier, mothers receive additional support in postpartum recovery and lactation support, relaxation and circulation care, wound and skin care, postnatal exercises, and services like washing your hair; the small, deeply appreciated acts of care that make a real difference in how a mother feels about herself during recovery.
This package is available by request and runs across the 28-day and 56-day durations. Nanny insurance is also inclusive for Modern PLUS clients, offering additional peace of mind throughout the confinement period.
Yanxi Mama’s May Exclusive for New and Expecting Mothers
As part of Yanxi Mama's Mother's Day month celebration, every package purchased in May comes with two complimentary add-ons.
The first is a prenatal or lactation massage. Depending on where you are in your journey, this is a meaningful, therapeutic gift. Prenatal massage helps ease the physical discomforts of late pregnancy, while a lactation massage can support milk flow and relieve the tension that so often accompanies breastfeeding in the early days.
The second is a 1-hour professional baby photoshoot, a keepsake that families treasure for decades. Newborns change so quickly. Having those first days documented by a professional is a gift to your future self, one you will be grateful for long after the confinement period is a memory.
How Yanxi Mama Supports You From Day One
The process with Yanxi Mama is designed to be as stress-free as the confinement experience itself. It begins with an initial consultation, where Yanxi's team takes the time to understand your specific needs. From there, you will select the package that is right for you, add any pre-confinement services you would like, and go through Yanxi's rigorous nanny-matching process.
Once your nanny arrives and settles in, the support does not stop. Yanxi's consultants are available throughout your confinement, with optional weekly emotional check-ins and priority Week-1 support. If at any point you feel the match is not working, the process of finding a better-suited nanny begins immediately.
Post-confinement, Yanxi's consultants can also personalise a recovery plan for you, including options for TCM body conditioning, postnatal yoga, and other add-ons tailored to where you are in your healing journey.
