items As a first time mom, I honestly had no idea what I was going to need postpartum. There were SO many lists online, and somehow I still felt completely lost. These are the things I personally used, loved, or wish I had used during those early postpartu...

The Recovery Essentials
I know the mesh underwear from the hospital gets the job done, but these were so much more comfortable. They're soft, stretchy, and hold pads securely without feeling tight or irritating. Whether you have a vaginal birth or a C-section, having a few ...
Frida Mom Disposable Postpartum Underwear
I originally got this for postpartum, but I still use it today! The upside-down design makes it so much easier and more comfortable to use than the basic hospital peri bottle. It’s one of those things you buy for a very specific reason and then reali...
Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle
I personally preferred using witch hazel over Tucks pads postpartum. I liked being able to use it exactly where I needed it, and it stays cooler longer, which I really appreciated during those first few weeks. I’d add it to pads or use it with my per...
Witch Hazel
These were another postpartum favorite of mine. The Lansinoh padsicles were so nice to have on hand for those first few days when everything just feels sore and uncomfortable. I loved that they were already made and ready to use, so I didn’t have to ...
Lansinoh Postpartum Padsicle, 12 CT
This was one of those things I was really glad to have postpartum. I kept it on hand for extra relief when I was sore and uncomfortable, especially during those first few days. Nothing fancy, but definitely something I appreciated having around while...
Pain Relief Spray
Breastfeeding: What I Actually Used
I actually never ended up using these, but looking back, I really wish I had! Lansinoh nursing pads are definitely one of those things I’d recommend having on hand before breastfeeding, because you never know how much you’ll leak in those early days....
Nursing Pads
I LOVED this manual pump! I honestly found it so convenient to have, especially when I didn’t want to pull out my electric pump for a quick pump or to relieve some pressure. It’s simple, easy to use, and doesn’t require any setup or charging. Definit...
Medela Manual Breast Pump
These are SO good. I’d honestly eat them even if I wasn’t breastfeeding 😂 They were one of my favorite little snacks during those early days, and I loved having something that felt like a treat while also supporting my breastfeeding journey. Definit...
Boobie Lactation Cookie Snacks
This was one of those little breastfeeding products I didn’t realize I’d love so much. I used it while feeding on the other side to catch any milk that would otherwise have been lost. It was so easy to use and made me feel like I was actually putting...
Munchkin Silicone Collector Cup
I absolutely loved my Spectra S1! It was reliable, easy to use, and the rechargeable battery made it so much more convenient. One of my favorite little features was actually the built-in light, I used it as a night light during those middle of the ni...
Spectra S1 Plus Electric Breast Pump - S1 Plus Electric Breast Pump | Babylist Shop
Skip the vasoline or lanolin, when your nipples already feel like they're going to fall off you will want something cooling with the least amount of touching possible. I am on my second tube of this!!
Roll On Nipple Cream
On The Comfy Side
This is the exact cart I used, these carts are so amazing for midnight snacks (you'll need them), the diaper caddy, your water. You can really make it whatever you will need.
