【Latest News】NewParents Platform: A Clearer Guide for Pregnancy & Postpartum Care in Malaysia and Singapore

At HiParents, our main focus is supporting families through the early learning years — from preschools to enrichment classes, parent–child activities, and family-friendly resources.
But through our conversations with parents, we realised that many mums and dads face the same problem long before their child enters kindergarten — during pregnancy, confinement, and postpartum recovery.

Recently, we came across a platform that organises this information in a clear, parent-friendly way: NewParents Confinement Platform. In this article, HiParents will give you a simple introduction to what the platform offers.

What is NewParents?

From our perspective at HiParents, NewParents is a “time-saving information hub” — a platform that helps new parents quickly understand essential pregnancy and postpartum topics without getting overwhelmed.

The platform focuses on the entire “pregnancy → confinement → postpartum” journey, including:

1. Pregnancy guides & preparation

Covering antenatal check-ups, body changes, common symptoms, risk reminders, and hospital preparation — especially helpful for first-time parents.

2. Confinement and postpartum care

Topics include different confinement options, wound care, postpartum emotions, sleep issues, muscle recovery, and nutritional needs — giving parents a clearer understanding of the postpartum period beyond traditional beliefs.

3. Confinement centre introductions

NewParents also compiles useful information about confinement centres and postpartum services, including service features, facility highlights, and who they are suitable for — a helpful starting point for families exploring confinement options.

4. Newborn care basics

Topics such as newborn sleep, jaundice monitoring, feeding, day–night routines, and soothing techniques are summarised in simple, easy-to-follow formats.

5. Practical checklists & tools

Hospital bag lists, confinement checklists, postpartum recovery reminders, and Q&A guides — turning information into actionable steps for busy parents.

Why is HiParents introducing NewParents on our site?

HiParents focuses on preschools, enrichment classes, family activities and educational resources — mainly the “after baby is born” stage. NewParents, on the other hand, focuses on the pregnancy, confinement and postpartum stage.

Many parents begin browsing HiParents long before their child is born. Because of this, we believe it’s meaningful to introduce reliable resources that support families during earlier stages as well.

The style of NewParents — clear structure, straightforward explanations, non-sensational content — aligns closely with what we value at HiParents. Therefore, we are featuring it here in our Latest News section for parents who may find it helpful.

Who will benefit the most from NewParents?

If you are currently in any of these situations, this platform may be useful for you:

• Planning for pregnancy and want to know the basics
• Currently pregnant and preparing for labour and confinement
• Comparing different confinement centres and service options
• Doing home confinement but want clear guidelines
• Wanting to understand postpartum recovery (abdomen, pelvic floor, wounds, strength)
• Looking for straightforward newborn care information

A Final Note from HiParents

No matter which confinement option you choose — home, nanny or confinement centre — what matters most is whether the mother can rest, recover and feel supported.

We hope this platform can offer some clarity and reassurance during your pregnancy and postpartum stages. And when your little one enters the early learning years, HiParents will be here to continue supporting your family.
