Postpartum Recovery
Most hospitals will give you some goodies to take home, but if you want to have your own stock ready to go for when you get back home, I swear by these items! For me, they’re must-haves!
Yes, the peri bottle that the hospital gives you will get the job done! And that’s actually the one I used for my first postpartum experience! However, I decided to try this one my second go around and I liked this one so much better! The longer, cur...
Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle Postpartum
Hot take, but I prefer these over any other type of postpartum underwear! They are thin, but very absorbent and very comfortable! I was able to wear these under my clothes and not feel like I had a giant diaper on!
Always Discreet Adult Incontinence Underwear L, 28 Count
These were great to have to add some additional “cooling”, plus they help with healing all at the same time!
TUCKS Medicated Cooling Pads 100 Count
Love these! This brand is not as bulky as some of the others out there! Also, the adhesive strip is really nice to keep it in place!
Postpartum Perineal Care
I went through this stuff like hot cakes!!! Probably my favorite postpartum product! The cooling sensation brought immediate relief!
Dermoplast Pain, Burn & Itch Relief Spray 2.75oz
I did not have a C-section, but after I gave birth, my abdominal section felt so weak to the point it almost hurt…my abdomen was uncomfortable when I would stand, walk, or even sit…there was just zero muscle and I desperately needed some support! Thi...
Mamaway SSnugFit Postpartum Belly Band
Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding can be challenging, but I found that these items made it a little bit easier!
I looove this bra! In fact, I love it so much, I continue to wear it even though I am not breastfeeding or pumping anymore! The support is incredible! This bra was by far the BEST at keeping pumps in place! I used both hands free pumps and one that w...
Momcozy Seamless 4-in-1 Hands-Free Pumping Bra
This bra was great too! It didn’t hold my pumps as well, but it was great for breastfeeding! It was super easy to clasp and re-clasp with one hand!
Momcozy YN21 Seamless Nursing Bra
Very soothing! I never used this until I was cracked, but it worked wonders fast! Especially paired with the silverettes! Also, bonus points because you do not have to wipe the cream off before baby eats!
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter, 2 oz
Again, I never used these until I was already cracked, but these paired with the nipple cream was a magic duo! Highly recommend if you’re breastfeeding!
SILVERETTE® Original 925 Silver Nursing Cups
I didn’t use this every time I pumped or fed, but the times I did, I was always shocked at how much milk I collected using this!
haakaa Manual Silicone Breast Pump 4oz
I didn’t use a manual pump with my first baby, but I did with my second and it was a game changer for me! It really helped my supply come in! This hand pump was easy to put together and had great suction!
Medela Manual Breast Pump with Flex Shields
Loved this hands free pump! I tried 2 others before landing on this one and it made life so much easier, especially with having a toddler to tend to as well! They stayed in place good and had great suction! They only ever leaked if I leaned too far f...
Momcozy M9 Hands Free Wearable Breast Pump
This was the only breast pump I used with my first baby! I added the hands free pump with my second, but still used this one too! You can’t beat the hospital grade suction this pump offers! Easy to clean and battery lasts a long time before needing t...
Spectra Baby S1 Plus Breast Pump 28mm Grey
