Pampers nappies for newborns are unrivaled IMO.

These are so good, they come out the packet cleanly. They don’t tear when used, and they’re wet enough to clean but not too wet that you feel like your bathing your babies butt.
Pampers® Harmonie Aqua Baby Wipes Plastic Free

Great for starting feeding baby. Small enough for baby to get, but can store enough colostrum and milk as they need.
Baby Feeding Cup

Great set of bottles for formula or breastmilk. Easy to sterilise in the microwave, 3 parts and babies seem to like them. Can also be good for combi-feeders going between breast and bottle.

A doula is amazing. A postpartum doula is a necessity. I’m a postnatal doula and can help support your transition from birth to postpartum. I can aid with baby care and mum care, and support with light household duties also. Get in touch!!!

Also amazing for the heavy bleeding at the start. Just change, throw away, wash and go. Really easy option for postpartum.

Absolute MUST for a vaginal birth. Helps to properly clean your bits when you go to the bathroom after birth. Easy to use, comes with a little storage bag and doesn’t look as ugly as some.

These felt incredible in the first few days. Loved them for healing and soothing the soreness.

Yes. Put the pad inside, throw away after 3/4 hours. 10/10, comfy, clean and useful.
Boyshort Disposable Postpartum Underwear (8 Pack)

Great for postpartum healing. Soothes the area and cools it down. Can also be sprayed on pads or inside the nappies. Shouldn’t be used too often or too much to promote clean healing.
Witch Hazel Spray

Perfect for those early days of letdowns all over the place. Don’t let those precious drops of milk go to waste. You can put this in the cup whilst feeding off the other and then bottle and feed as you want.
