These are one of the greatest postpartum products. Use just the pads or make padsicles with them.

For the love of all that is good, listen to the women who have experienced postpartum before you, buy the stool softener and take it.

Stressing about dishes while postpartum is miserable. If plastic silverware helps ease some stress during postpartum then use them.

My husband and I were so tired the first few months we struggled to keep up with dishes. Having paper plates and plastic silverware helped us to not stress so much about dishes.

I drank this mixed with nettle leaf everyday. They're both good to consume during postpartum and periods.

I bought a pound of this because I forgot how much a pound of loose leaf tea is, but I did drink half of it within several months so it worked out. And I still have some for when my period comes back.

This, amongst other teas, was suggested by my midwife for milk production. I believe it worked. I'd have a cup of tea every morning and night. I usually like my herbal teas plain, but with this one I added honey.

Sure, they give you a peri bottle, but I feel like I used our bidet more than the bottle. And it's not just nice for postpartum, I mean, really, when is a bidet not superior?
