For my second postpartum journey, I really wanted to prioritize using clean, non toxic products to help heal my body during such a vulnerable time. I did just create life and give birth afterall, my body deserves to be cared for after taking on such a monumental task. Here are the products I used and loved for my second postpartum. I'll definitely be using each of these again next time!

I spent months prepping for a natural birth with my second. I felt so prepared this time around and was really looking forward to this birth experience. Bringing my sweet little boy into the world was hard work, but I did it! No medical intervention needed. Honestly, I didn't even have a doula. I actually delivered him in my car myself with my husbad driving about 2 minutes from the hospital! It was quite the experience. This list is full of items I actually used during my labor at some point or another.

Breastfeeding was such a wonderful experience. I’m so grateful I was able to breastfeed both of my babies. I breastfed my first until he was a little over a year, had about a 3 month before I started nursing my second baby, so suffice to say, I've got a bit of experience and expertise on the subject. Here's a list of things I actually used during my breastfeeding journies.

I’ve had two babies in two years. I have absolutely loved becoming a mom and so grateful I get to stay home with my boys. There’s a concept I learned about from Lindsey Gurk, she has a company called “Get Your Pink Back”. “It’s created around the concept that flamingos, both male and female, can actually lose their pink coloring while raising their young because so much of their food and energy goes to their chicks. But, eventually they get it back... and you will too!” (Pulled directly from her website!). I didn’t really focus on myself after my first was born before I jumped right back into pregnancy. This time, I’m determined to take care of myself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. These are some of the products I’m using and some of the things I’m doing to get my pink back!

As a first time mom I wanted to give my baby the best and use non toxic products and brands. I spent days coming through different products and brands to find which ones are truly non toxic and which ones ACTUALLY WORK! Whether you’re team non tox, low tox, crunchy, natural, or just a mom who wants the best for her baby, I’ve got you! Check out the lists below for some of my favorite non toxic products that I give my baby 🫶🏻

I’ve had two babies in less than two years. I skipped out on some of these items the first time around but with my second baby, I knew I needed to splurge to make my life easier and postpartum more enjoyable. These are my MUST HAVES!

I’ve been making changes in my home for almost 2 years to make it lower tox. These are items I’ve actually used and that made the cut to share. It’s hard switching to non or low tox products when the mainstream is always promoting toxic items and that’s the norm when it comes to products. Sifting through the noise takes time and effort. I do a little at a time and add them here as I find products that work and I love.

Looking to make your medicine cabinet a little cleaner? I’ve slowly been making the switch to cleaner items in my medicine cabinet for my little ones. I’m constantly looking for items to add the next time something ails me or my toddler. Here’s what I’ve got in my cabinet so far.
