Postpartum care
15
items Some people overpack, but you defintely don’t want to underpack!
The hospital will most likely give you these but it will forever be my #1 recommendation for every new mom!
Dermoplast Pain, Burn, and Itch Spray - 2.75 Oz | Babylist Shop
These stay in place all night and we loved using them.
Lansinoh Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads - 100 | Babylist Shop
Honestly, you can just get adult diapers for cheaper - but these were more comfortable
Frida Mom Disposable Boyshort Postpartum Underwear - Gray, Regular | Babylist Shop
The hospital usually gives you a peri bottle, but an angled peri bottle is so much easier to use!
Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle | Babylist Shop
After birth, any support around the abdomen is helpful. If you don’t want a binder, tight leggings with a wide waist band also help!
Frida Mom Postpartum Abdominal Support Binder - Grey | Babylist Shop
Yes! Atleast for the first week, have these on hand.
Lansinoh Hot & Cold Postpartum Therapy Packs (2 Pack) | Babylist Shop
10/10! Never needed nipple cream or ice packs when using these!
Silverette Silver Nursing Cups - Regular | Babylist Shop
I liked pretty much everything from this brand, but their postpartum kit is GREAT! And super easy to pack into your hospital bag
Lansinoh Postpartum Recovery Essentials | Babylist Shop
Loved this lotion! Any lotion with vitamin E is helpful but this one was great to use all over. Postpartum arms/legs/skin definitely needs some lotion!
Earth Mama Belly Butter - Unscented, 8 Fl Oz | Babylist Shop
You can use these steam bags up to 20 times and it only takes about 3 minutes. Plus they’re FSA/HSA eligible!!
Medela Quick Clean Micro-Steam Bags - 5 | Babylist Shop
So easy to sleep in these and I LOVED that they were durable for me to just throw through the wash without extra care!
Ingrid and Isabel Drop Cup Nursing Bra Bundle - Black/Mauve, Xl | Babylist Shop
These were my 2nd go to bras for something durable! (Durable meaning easy to throw through the wash without extra care! Super nice when you’re tired and just need to get laundry done.)
Kindred Bravely Sublime Support Low Impact Nursing & Maternity Sports Bra - Grey Heather, Small | Babylist Shop
This was a great alternative to a nursing bra. So easy and comfy to wear around the house - throw a cardigan or sweatshirt over top if needed. I found that it runs a bit small, so order a size larger than you think!
Storq Everyday Pumping & Nursing Tank - Black, Xs | Babylist Shop
Honestly 10/10 for the first week postpartum and while you’re in the hospital. The nurses will need to check you about every 4 hours, and it’s nice to have something easy/loose the move around in. Beats wearing pants for sure!!!
Ingrid and Isabel Wrap Nursing Cardigan - Asphalt, Xs | Babylist Shop
An alternative to the nursing gown is one of these BUTTON DOWN night gowns at Walmart. Cheap, so you don’t have to worry when it will get dirty. Easy to open in the front (for nursing the baby or when nurses come to check you). AND, way better than p...
