Vitamins
The supplements that supported my recovery, energy, and overall health in those early postpartum months.
I didn’t notice any hair loss right after giving birth, but around 3 months postpartum I started losing all my baby hairs around my hairline. I decided to try a year-long subscription of Nutrafol Postpartum, and honestly, I saw results so quickly — e...
Hair Growth Supplement for Women Postpartum
This supplement covers all the key vitamins and nutrients that are often depleted after birth. It’s designed specifically for postpartum recovery, so instead of juggling multiple bottles, I had everything I needed in one.
It was also an easy switch,...
Postpartum Support Pack - Postnatal Vitamins
Bodycare
Postpartum body care that soothed, healed, and helped me feel like myself again.
I first started using this during my menstrual cycle, and then continued postpartum. It was the best gentle cleanser for keeping stitches clean and helping me feel fresh without irritation.
I still use it now as part of my regular routine.
Organyc® Feminine Wash - Chamomile Formula
I used this anytime I was cramping, which was often in the early weeks postpartum as my uterus shrank back down. It gave me so much relief in those moments. I only started using it once I stopped breastfeeding (around 4 weeks postpartum), and it quic...
CBD BALM
This wrap helped me so much with the excess skin I had after birth. I know everyone’s recovery looks different, but for me it really supported my healing. It helped reduce the look of stretch marks and loose skin, especially since I lost about 30 pou...
Miracle Wrap Band
Intimates
Practical, comfortable, and postpartum-friendly intimates that made recovery and nursing so much easier.
Even though I had a very poor milk supply (never enough to even fill 4oz), I still leaked constantly. I couldn’t go a single day without it — and nights were the hardest. These nipple pads truly saved my life overnight.
Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads
Seamless, smoothing, and with amazing tummy control — these quickly became one of my everyday postpartum staples.
FINETOO High Waisted Tummy Control Brief
I’ve always hated pads with wings, and the bulky hospital pads (and even the Frida Mom ones) were just too much inside underwear. These were the perfect switch — long enough with great absorption for postpartum bleeding, but still comfortable and not...
Amazon Basics Women's Long Incontinence Pads
The hospital provided those thin, threadlike mesh underwear — but I’m so glad I brought these instead. They felt super secure, and I loved how easy they were to tear off and dispose of. I was in the hospital for 5 days postpartum, and just one pack w...
Boyshort Disposable Postpartum Underwear (8 Pack) - Frida
Hands down the best wireless bra I’ve found. In those first 4 weeks of breastfeeding, it was so easy to nurse in, and it had just the right amount of coverage for when baby needed skin-to-skin contact. The support is awesome, but it’s still soft enou...
Warners Cloud 9®
Footwear
Comfy and supportive shoes for swollen feet, endless pacing, and all the new-mama errands. Stylish, practical, and lifesaving for tired feet.
Any brand, any length — I’m not picky about prints or style.
I have poor circulation in my feet. I needed thermal socks both in the hospital and at home. Without them, I honestly couldn’t feel my toes. I had Cass early fall and stayed home through th...
Thermal Socks
These were my go-to shoes through it all — pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. They were the only pair that gave me enough support while still being easy to slip on when bending down felt impossible.
They were so comfortable, Tuan got a matching pair.
Carlson Suede Casual Slingback Mules in Sand
Nursing
Breastfeeding and pumping essentials that made the journey smoother — from tools to comfort items I’d recommend to every new mom.
Need I say more? This classic nursing pillow was a lifesaver in the early days, and Cass still loves lounging in it at 10 months old.

Please, please, please go through your insurance for a free breast pump — it’ll save you so much money!
This is the one I got.
Wearable Breast Pump
Apps
The apps that helped me track, learn, and survive postpartum — digital tools every new parent should have on hand.
This app was a lifesaver in the first couple of months. It let me easily track feedings, diapers, and sleep schedules, so I had everything on hand for pediatric visits when they asked all the detailed questions. Having it all logged took the stress o...
