This should be the first product you pack in your hospital bag for your care essentials. Trust me on this!
Post-Birth Wash Bottle
Going to the toilet for number 2 was dreadful, I still shudder in pain at the memory, until the midwife advised me. Every morning, 3-4 prunes first thing with a glass of water. I still do same till date as my hormones are yet to regulate
Pitted Prunes | Dried Fruits | 250g, 500g & 1kg
I can’t recommend this enough. Down below is going to need some extra care following delivery, a warm (emphasis on warm not hot) sitz bath is important especially for hygiene purposes
Sitz Baths - Bathroom Aids & Safety
I got this to target specifically the hyperpigmentation on my face and neck following pregnancy and I have seen good improvement
C-Tetra® Advanced - 20% Vitamin C Gel Serum with Exosomes
My friend got this for me to help with my hyperpigmentation after pregnancy and this was so helpful! Definitely recommend
The Bright Set
Got into period pants during postpartum as I was genuinely tired of wearing regular pads. This is so good and comfortable like wearing regular pads. I recommend sizing up if you don’t know your size and buy enough of it as you would be changing a lot
Period pants
This product has been so helpful in clearing my hyperpigmentation. With 15% lactic acid, it offers gentle exfoliation and skin renewal that helped the stubborn areas I was worried about
AmLactin Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion
Another product I used to clear my body hyperpigmentation. Make sure to use with a body oil as it is a serum and not hydrating enough
Vaseline Gluta-Hya Dewy Radiance Lotion 200ml
Lightweight oil I use to seal in moisture after hydrating my body. Love this🥰
AVEENO® SKIN RELIEF BODY OIL SPRAY
A fav of mine! Postpartum came with lots of changes, I included this product to help with my skin, hair, nails and joints and I absolutely love it
Revive Collagen
If you are looking to wrap your belly after birth, look no further. This is so good and you have control over how tight or loose you want the belly wrap to me. I wear this under all kinds of clothes and outfits
Feelingirl Tummy Wrap Waist Trainer
I wish someone told me sooner, I didn’t need to struggle through the back pain of weird positioning while trying to breastfeed. I can’t recommend a nursing pillow enough
momcozy Nursing Pillow with Breastfeeding Support
I needed this in my routine to brighten my skin and the melasma I developed from pregnancy. Good one 👌
Kojic san Soap
Baby’s essentials
I found this stroller after searching for a long time while trying to save costs! Durable for all terrains, sturdy and lightweight for everyday use and the price is unbelievable.
Compact Stroller NUBI 2
Happy co-sleeper here🤪 I just knew I needed this crib and it made it so easy to have my baby in the room with me
Iora Co-sleeper
The first stroller set I used. I went everywhere with this- buses, train rides, taxis etc. Great value for money, easy to assemble and secured.
3-in-1 Travel Systems
It has all you need actually. I enjoy using this set and I still use it till date. Just perfect
Complete Baby Feeding Set
This was so helpful while we were fresh in the newborn phase. I could move it around with me to spend time with the family and still watch over my baby
Amazon.co.uk: Newborn Lounger
I can’t recommend this enough for cradle cap. I was so stressed to see my baby’s hair fall off until I found it. Used it after bath time and reapplied as many times as needed
Colief Baby Scalp Oil (30ml)
I have this cream everywhere- his nursery bag, diaper bag, bag caddy, my handbag - everywhere! It’s perfect 👌. Zero worries about rashes. I also use it under his chin to serve as barrier ointment for milk and food spills
Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment | Barrier Cream
My baby’s skin and jimpo Shea butter - 5&6🤝 … this is his daily moisturiser and his skin is thriving!
Jimpo-ORI Shea Butter 🇬🇧 (@jimpoorishea_uk)
I use the set daily. Gentle and perfect for my baby’s skin, especially to hydrate the skin during winter and seasonal changes
AVEENO Baby® Gentle Skin Care Ranges
The only wipes I use till date. Nothing else
WaterWipes Toddler & Baby Sensitive Wipes
I struggled with getting the right temperature in the room for my baby initially as I was doing guessing game. This just gives peace of mind and ensures you have the right temperature for your baby
Groegg 2 Nursery Thermometer
