items Everyone on tiktok is lying to you. Here’s what you actually need
This thing is actually worth buying. The hospital will give you a free one but having the bent part is very very helpful. Must have!
Upside Down Peri Bottle – Frida | The fuss stops here.
I used these in my pads every day for almost 3 weeks!
Medicated Cooling Hemorrhoid Pads
You will need to buy 3-4 boxes of these!!! Seriously, no need to buy postpartum ones, these work fine but you’ll need more of them than you think! I had to repurchase them every week because I kept running out
Overnight Pads
Okay hear me out, you’re going to itch. A lot. The tucks pads and constant rinsing paired with your stitches healing is going to make you very very itchy. Coconut oil is life saving. Apply it liberally to your perennial area as much as needed and def...
Organic Refined Coconut Oil, 14 FZ
I wore these for about 2 weeks before switching to regular period pads. They’re very comfortable and more functional than the Frida mom ones. Those do not absorb anything and you’ll need to wear a pad in addition to the diaper. I also needed to wear ...
Postpartum Underwear
I only wore this at the very beginning but I wish I had it at the hospital to start wearing it immediately. Not to look skinny again but because it literally felt like my organs were falling out of me. I hated that feeling and this helped me feel muc...
Postpartum Abdominal Support Binder – Frida | The fuss stops here.
I needed this every night for about 7-10 days… helps with nipple pain from nursing, back pain from birth, and vagina pain from birth.
Tylenol
The best pump ever! I hate my spectra. This thing is waaaaay faster and easier and more comfortable. Could not recommend it more! The milk comes flying out in a matter of minutes and I’m done. Look up tiktoks on how to use it properly!
Harmony™ Manual Breast Pump
Used these a lot in my first 4 weeks of nursing! I haven’t compared them to the original brand but they seemed to work just fine for me.
Soothing Silver Nursing Cups
This is the only nipple butter I used and I thought it work really well! I recommend alternating between nipple butter and the silverettes after each feed.
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter™ Cream Safe
But lots of button down pajamas because it’s all you will wear for a few weeks and you need to change them very often due to baby spitting up or your boobs leaking. I have 6 pairs of various button down sets but the target ones are my fav!
button down pajamas women - Long Sleeve & Short Sleeve
My favorite nursing bras! They are a good dupe for the Skims nursing bra. Super soft and super stretchy! No padding! Great for around the house or under tshirts when you don’t want a the bulky padding. I sleep in them as well! I own 3!
Women's Luxe Stretch Unlined Nursing Bralette - Auden™
