【JB Confinement Trap】Quote vs Final Bill?
5 Hidden Costs Every Parent Must Know!
They said "RM 12,888 All-in", but you paid RM 15,000+ at checkout? 😱
Many new parents visiting JB Confinement Centres get distracted by the fancy rooms and free bird's nest, ignoring the fine print in the contract. These "hidden charges" can easily add up to the price of a branded stroller!
NewParents reveals the Top 5 Pricing Traps in 2026. Learn how to audit a quotation like a pro before signing.
🔍 Is your package TRULY All-in? Check these:
1
Baby Consumables (The Biggest Trap)
Many packages claim "All-in" but exclude daily essentials. Diapers, Formula Milk, Wet Wipes, and Nappy Cream are often charged "per usage" or must be self-provided. If charged by the centre, the markup can be 20-30% higher than supermarket prices.
2
Phototherapy (Jaundice Lights)
If your baby has jaundice, they need phototherapy. Some premium centres include this, but many charge "per hour/per day". In JB, this can cost RM100 - RM200 daily. Always ask: "Is unlimited phototherapy included in the price?"
3
Public Holiday & Midnight Surcharges
Expect a surcharge during Chinese New Year (CNY). But be careful: If you check in past midnight or require extra wound care (C-section), some centres impose an additional "Nursing Fee" or "Emergency Check-in Fee".
4
Sibling Stay & Meals
For 2nd-time moms, how much does it cost for your eldest child to stay over? Policies vary widely. Centres in Mount Austin / Bukit Indah might charge extra for a bigger room or kids' meals, while others are kid-friendly for free.
5
Refund Policy (Deposit Forfeit)
What if you have a miscarriage or premature birth? Is your Deposit Refundable? Disputes happen here most often. Ensure the "Refund Policy" is written in black and white, not just a verbal promise from the sales agent.
