Postpartum support in Richmond
Many Richmond families observe a 40-day recovery period after birth, sometimes called confinement or sitting the month, and the support they look for is shaped by it: warm meals, rest, someone else handling the baby at night, and a quiet house. Puffin's postpartum support is built around exactly that recovery, with nutritious meal and tea preparation, newborn care, and light housekeeping so the recovering mother is not on her feet.
Richmond is one of the most multilingual cities in the province. You can note a language or cultural preference when you book. It goes into the details the office matches from; it is a request rather than a guarantee, and the price does not change. If your preference is Cantonese or another language not listed on the form, choose Other and type it.
Whether you come home from Richmond Hospital or elsewhere in the region, the rates are the same across the whole island, from Steveston to Hamilton.
