This nipple butter is a life saver. I feel good using it based on the brand and ingredients. I would use this after every feeding for the first few days to ensure I didn’t get sore/chapped.

I love the discreet depends for the first few days postpartum. They are so much easier than pads and absorbent.

The ice pack pads are so helpful with swelling and discomfort. The best part is that you just shake it, snap it and it instantly starts getting cold. It’s so easy, especially when you get up in the middle of the night.

The Tucks pads help immensely during postpartum recovery. The cooling feeling provides immediate relief. This is a must have in that first week!

This Peri bottle is far superior to the one in the hospital. The design is so easy to use and in those first few days/weeks that’s exactly what is needed.

I LOVE this cup! It’s big enough that I only have to refill it 1-2 times a day, there is nothing worst than being out and about and running out of water. The locking lid is AMAZING, I throw this in my purse and I don’t have to worry about it spilling...

These nursing bras are the best. When milk comes in, it isn’t a great feeling, but this bra is very comfortable!

The haakaa made my breastfeeding journey possible, it got me ounces saved for my freezer and future feedings as well as helped with I had clogged ducts. The base and lid is a must especially for middle of the night use.
