Confinement Food at San Lyra, Freshly Prepared Every Day

Confinement food is the diet a mother follows in the first month after giving birth, traditionally built around warming ingredients, nourishing soups and easy-to-digest dishes. It matters because the body needs energy and nutrients to recover, and many mothers are breastfeeding at the same time. At San Lyra, meals are planned by a nutritionist and freshly prepared every day, so you can focus on resting and bonding with your baby.

Each day you receive three main meals, a snack and a tonic herbal soup, all freshly prepared in our kitchen. You are also served milk-boosting tea and free-flow rejuvenation tea throughout the day. The menu includes Chinese confinement dishes such as sesame oil chicken, alongside lighter options like fish soup bee hoon.

Yes, please tell us about any allergies, dietary preferences or ingredients you dislike before your stay, so we can plan suitable postpartum meals for you. Our team will review your requests and let you know what we can adjust. If your doctor has given specific dietary advice, share that too so we can take it into account.

Your meals are included in your stay and freshly prepared every day, so you do not need to cook, shop or plan. Each main meal comes with tonic herbal soup, and teas are served throughout the day. If you would like changes to portions or dishes, let our team know and we will adjust where possible.

Yes. Our meals are planned with breastfeeding mothers in mind, with protein-rich dishes, soups and fluids throughout the day, and milk-boosting tea is served daily. Every mother is different and no food can guarantee milk supply, so our lactation support team is on hand for feeding questions during your stay. If you or your baby have food sensitivities, let us know and we will adjust your menu where possible.

Confinement food is traditionally followed for about 28 to 40 days after birth. At San Lyra, daily confinement meals are included for the length of your package, whether you stay for 28 days or choose a shorter or extended stay. Our team can also share tips on what to eat once you are home.
