Post Partum Care is can be such a confusing, exhausting, and painful time. It can also be a time of happiness, pleasure, and true joy. Bringing life into the world is challenging and beautiful at the same time. For new moms, it is absolutely imperative that you set yourself up for self care after giving birth. As a mom myself I have seen and experienced that challenges and the successes of giving birth and navigating post partum, and so I want to share items that worked for me and other options that may be something you would want to consider for yourself. Not all of these are perfect fits for everyone, but most are. Take a look and possibly shop these items for yourself..... And to the new mom's browsing, CONGRATULATIONS on your new bundle(s) of love. God Bless!
Baby gear can be SO overwhelming. How to decide what are actual necessities & what are just gimmicks. I’ve tried lots & curated these lists to hopefully save other mama’s from trial & error!
Okay, real talk: postpartum is beautiful… and also a little chaotic, leaky, emotional, and exhausting 🫠 This list is for the things I actually reached for after having a baby — not the “looks cute on a registry” stuff, but the thank-God-I-had-this essentials for both mom and baby. Think recovery items that actually help, comfy basics you’ll live in, and baby products that make those early weeks feel just a tiny bit easier. No overwhelm, no unnecessary gadgets, no pressure to “bounce back.” Just practical, comforting, sanity-saving finds that support you during the newborn fog. If you’re a first-time mom, a seasoned pro, or shopping for a friend who’s about to give birth — this is the list I’d text you and say, “Trust me, you’ll want these.” 🤍
