Breastfeeding essentials
All of the items I used at the start of my breastfeeding journey. It was a bit of a rocky start trying to get our rhythm but we got there in the end, with the help of these items
The holy grail of nipple cream. I tried a couple and this was suggested to me by my midwife and saved me from so much pain!
Lansinoh® HPA® Lanolin Nipple Cream
These in conjunction with the nipple cream was like the facial for my boobs I didn’t know I needed!
Rite Aid Hydrogel Breast Discs 12 Pack
There are a lot of brands out there cor these cold and hot packs and they are all quite similar.
Nice to be able to slip these into your nursing bra between feeds if you’re feeling a bit tender.
New Beginnings Breast Care Hot & Cold Reusable 2 Pack
Love this reversible style. Cross front or scoop neck for what ever is more
Comfortable and also has openings to insert the cool or hot packa
Postpartum and Pregnancy Bra | Comfortable Recovery Bralette
My milk supply has a bit of a slower start and this hot choccy felt like it helped me along the way!
Hot chocolate mixes
This because I have never been more thirsty than when feeding, hydration is a huge help with milk supply!!
Reusable Water Bottles with Straws
I struggled to drink water during pregnancy and even post birth but these electrolytes were a game changer. I love the cola flavour with a lot of ice chips, so yummy and felt like a treat
Pregnancy & Postpartum Electrolyte Hydration Drinks – Mini + Me
Helpful for milk supply and also so hand to have as a breastfeeding snack on hand!
Lactation Cookies
Selfcare
The tiredness and undereye bags are REAL. A little treat like this in the morning really helped start my day off in the right way
Esmi Skin Minerals Brightening HydraDew Patches
Again, hands down one of the biggest hair reviers I have found. I love love love Kerastase as a brand overall, pricey for some items but so worth the investment.
Elixir Ultime | Argan Oil for Hair Products | Kérastase Australia
This. Because why did no one tell me my lips would be so dry!!
Lip Therapy Rosy Mini
My dry skin was next level when my bub arrived! And the fact that bangn body does a fragrance free version of my favourite lotion was a huge help.
BANGN BODY Fragrance Free Firming Lotion
Wish I found this product sooner but I was oblivious to post partum hair loss until it was too late!
Love the feel of my hair after this leave in treatment. I use in a routine with the other products for the best results
Flouf Factor Growth™ Leave-In Mask
Again, an everyday staple in my routine. Have seen so much hair growth post using this for the past 3 months!
Bouf Flouf Factor Growth Tonic 50mL | Hair
I swear by this product and managed to escape without any stretch marks!
Bio Oil
Post birth essentials
With their pocket for the ice and heat pack, these are perfection for the days post birth
Postpartum Underwear | Birth Recovery Highwaisted Briefs
Trust me, a must for post birth!
New Beginnings Perineal Wash Bottle
Either these or the disposable pull up undies. I found these a little easier to just change and to wear my own comfy support undies
Libra Extra Long Maternity Pads Wings 10 Pack
These or the maternity pads! You definitely don’t need both
Buy Bubba Bump Disposable Postpartum Underwear Large online at Chemist Warehouse
Pyjamas - treat yourself, you will be living in them
Going 9 months strong in these and still loving them!
Ava Gingham Long PJ Set
Also love these! Suggest sizing up as mine shrunk in the washing process 🥲
Ruby Houndstooth Long PJ Set
My favourite set that I own to date! Flowy and super comfy and versatile to wear as seperate outside of the house. Pyjamas have never been so chic!!
