NEW MOM / POSTPARTUM RECOVERY FAVORITES
15
items Everything I used and loved after two unmedicated vaginal deliveries 🩵 available for Target Drive Up! 🎯 🚙
Â
I want to shout it from the rooftops - THESE ARE THE BEST UNDERWEAR FOR BLEEDING. Seriously. Stop buying those horrific scented ones!
Rael Organic Disposable Period Underwear - S/M - 5ct
Â
Cult favorite for a reason. These were my favorite disposable underwear. I wore only these for like 6 months after my first vaginal delivery. They are soft and stretchy but still make you feel sucked in. I wore these with the Rael pads.
Frida Mom Disposable Postpartum Underwear Boy Shorts Briefs - Regular 8ct
Â
Organic cotton overnight pads. These are huge. Next step down from wearing a full period underwear.
Rael Organic Cotton Cover Overnight Menstrual Fragrance Free Pads - Unscented - 12ct
Â
Very similar to the Rael but I prefer the shape/size of these organic cotton pads more for light coverage. You get plenty of both sizes too which is why I buy this combo box.
L. Organic Cotton Top Layer Ultra Thin Pads - Regular/Super Absorbency - 32ct
Â
Buy it. Buy two. Yes, you will get a free one at the hospital. But these are 100x better and it matters. I kept one by my toilet and one in my shower. You will want to clean that area as much as the opportunity presents itself.
Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle
Â
I much preferred these long pads over the little circular ones. Much easier to work with and less steps. I laid these on my pad and spritzed with Frida Mom foam. That was my favorite healing combo. I repurchased these many times.
Frida Mom Perineal Witch Hazel Cooling Pad Liners - 24ct
Â
Loved this foam. Repurchased twice but it goes a long way. I put a witch hazel pad in my period pad and spritzed this over the top.
Frida Mom Perineal Witch Hazel Healing Foam
Â
I LOVED THIS STUFF!! I swear this made my healing go faster with my second baby. I had 4 tears all with stitches and varying degrees of severity. I sprayed this directly on the wound and topped with a little perineal balm and I healed so much faster ...
Earth Mama Herbal Perineal Spray - 4 fl oz
Â
This balm paired with the perineal spray was like magic, I swear. I can’t believe how much faster I healed despite having worse tearing with my second baby.
Earth Mama Organic Perineal Balm - 2 fl oz
Â
These are worth every penny. Skip the nipple balm and just buy these.
Momcozy Silver Nipple Shield - XL
Â
I lived in these early postpartum. This is all I wore at the hospital too until it was time to go home. Buy every color, they are so comfy and make nursing easy peasy.
Women's Cloud Knit Modal Notch Collar Long Sleeve Nightgown - Audenâ„¢ Black M
Â
Ribbed version in a cute pink color!
Women's Cozy Ribbed Notch Collar Nightgown - Audenâ„¢ Pink M
Â
I abhor nursing bras. I bought a bunch of these instead and have been very happy with them. I wear them for everything not just lounging around at home. Except for like a date night or something. But they have light padding!
Jockey Generation™ Women's Seamfree® Light Support Rib Bralette - Black L
Â
I went through these like crazy in the early postpartum days. It’s so imperative for your recovery as well as your milk supply to maintain your vitamin and mineral levels!! These are very salty but I like to dilute them in a huge jug of water.
LMNT Zero-Sugar Electrolytes Drink - Variety Pack - 2.1oz/10ct
Â
Much cuter than the one you get from the hospital. I kept huge water bottles throughout my home, including my room, nursery, living room, etc. I prefer this style so I can fully close it.
