Postpartum Care

This really helped with my 'tagos' problem on the bed after giving birth. I used it nonstop from the hospital all the way home, since going to the CR to pee was so hard for me.

Caress Basic | Adult Tape Diapers

I'm conservative, so even as a mom I'm not comfortable going out without proper coverage, and these give me peace of mind whenever baby and I go out. My supply is just enough, so they never get soaked through.

Uni-Love Materna Breast Pads (50s)

A fellow mom close to me and my fiance recommended this, so I gave it a try. It's okay, but honestly I don't think I was hiyang with this one.

Buds & Blooms Nurse Well 15g (formerly Nipple Nurse 15g)

A must for CS moms like me. I couldn't stop worrying about the itch and about my wound opening, but this one is so light you barely feel you're wearing it. I first used a medical binder, but the gauze-like inside made me so itchy that even my quiet s...

Momwell Postpartum Abdominal Belt Adjustable Supporting Belts C-section Recovery Belt Pelvic Support

I still take this now that baby is 9 months old, and it's been very effective for me. I took 2 capsules every morning and every evening, always before meals, together with soupy and milky food, and my supply has never fallen short for baby. It's free...

Olifer Malunggay (Moringa Oleifera) Food Supplement

Self-Care

I bought this during my nesting era because I was hoping for a normal delivery, but baby had other plans. I used it anyway so it wouldn't go to waste, and for me it helped my postpartum bleeding clear up faster.

POVIDONE-IODINE (BETADINE) Antiseptic Feminine Wash

I bought this again when baby turned 8 months. I got so busy with baby that I forgot to take care of my "first baby" down there since giving birth :))

PH Care Feminine Wash

Mommy Bag & On-the-Go

I love how easy this is to bring on quick mall errands, and it's so spacious it also fits baby's clothes and feeding bottles for our 3-day family trips. It goes with any outfit, the pockets inside and out are easy to reach, and it doesn't feel too he...

BELINDA PREMIER Puffy Mommy Bag Diaper Bag Tote

This holds baby's feeding essentials since she started solids at 6 months. Pumped milk really stays cold in here for a long time, and it fits her snacks, her other feeding things, and a small bottle.

Beabi Insulated Bag

Perfect for moms who still want to look stylish even on a grocery run, it's so girly in any color. It fits baby's things for short outings whenever I need a quick breather. Same tip as the Belinda bag: avoid carrying it while baby is in a carrier, be...

stay young s1282 lightweight puffy tote bag

Fits perfectly in both my Belinda mommy bag and my Stay Young tote, so I bought it right away! Breastfeeding makes me so thirsty, so I really need this. It's easy to bring too, I just hang it on baby's stroller.

Aquaflask 500ml

Aside from the muslin nursing cover in my baby list, this is my other favorite. I always panic when baby cries to latch while we're out, and this one is so quick to put on. It's breathable so baby doesn't get sweaty, and it's not too thick, just enou...

yootree Breathable Nursing Cover for Baby Breastfeeding

I love the portable bed. Once baby got heavier, it became my partner whenever we're out, so I have somewhere to lay her down when she's sleepy or my arms are tired. It's spacious, but it gets heavy on the shoulders after a while, and I wish it had mo...

"You Are My Sunshine" Diaper Changing Backpack with Portable Bed

A gift from one of baby's godmothers. Before we bought her own bassinet, I laid her here so I wouldn't worry about her getting squeezed in our bed. We used it a lot for strolls and quick walks before we had ergonomic carriers. It has 3 recline levels...

Beige Baby Stroller

Home & Pumping

I first tried these when a kind fellow mom gave us clothes and supplies during a really tough time, and I'm so grateful to everyone who helped us. When things got better and those ran out, I bought the 200ml ones myself. As an "enougher" mom with inc...

Kleenfant Breastmilk Storage Bag BPA-Free Leak-Proof

These came together with the Kleenfant bags that were given to me. They're only 150ml, so on days I pump less, I use these so I don't waste a bigger bag.

BAONEO Breastmilk Storage Bags Pre-Sterilized

This was also given to me, back when I wasn't producing any milk yet, and I never needed another pump after that. The suction is so strong, and as a trumpet-style pump it pumps more than wearable pumps. I love this pump. It helped me produce milk for...
