My most loved products related to postpartum healing + recovery
Stress + tension relief herbal tincture. Use this daily and find it helps a ton!
All Day Stress Duo
Staple in my house while healing from labor. Went through multiple bags of this - smells and feels great.
Sitz Bath Salts
Went through multiple packs of these. They were the most comfortable, disposable underwear options I could find. I used these continuously for the first few weeks while healing post-labor.
Boyshort Disposable Postpartum Underwear (8 Pack) - Frida
My hospital gifted me a few containers of these - I used them 24/7. They offered great relief while healing post-labor.
TUCKS Medicated Cooling Pads, 100 Count
So much better than the one the hospital gave me. Made cleaning up after using the restroom post-labor so much easier.
Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle Postpartum
For the first BM post-labor. Just trust me on this one…..
MiraLAX
Kept this in my bathroom on top of the toilet - used multiple times a day. Helped with healing ‘down there’ post -labor. A staple!
Herbal Perineal Spray
For when the postpartum hair shedding starts! Mine kicked in around ~3 months PP. I've been using this serum and a few other little things to help stimulate new hair growth
Densifying Serum For Thinning Hair 3 Pack
The BEST postnatal supplement - covers all the important areas where we need the most support while in recovery.
Pink Stork Postnatal Gummies | Daily Postpartum + Breastfeeding Vitamins
Nursing + Pumping Recs
The products that got me through the early days of breastfeeding and remain a necessity as I continue on the journey of EBF/Pumping :)
The best multipurpose balm - can be used to soothe nipples and also on any other dry areas. I personally keep it on my bedside table and use it as a lip balm too!
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter™ Cream Safe
These shield are hypoallergenic and offer near continuous relief and protection througout your breastfeeding journey
SILVERETTE® Original Silver Nursing Cups
Flange sizing kit! Something I didnt know I needed until I couldnt figure out why my pump wouldnt ‘work’. This has helped increase comfort and output!
Nursi Luna 3-in-1 Flange Sizing Kit 10PCS
Used this constantly in the early days when my milk was coming in and everything was establishing. Helped me catch so much milk during letdowns that wouldve gone to waste otherwise!
Haakaa Ladybug Silicone Milk Collector 2.5 oz/75 ml
LOVED these. Can be hot or cold depending on needs. Kept them in the freezer most of the time and used them a ton - especially when my milk was first coming in and I was experiencing discomfort.
Hot & Cold Breast Therapy Packs
My favorite product line for BF supplements. I have rotated through a few of these products. Helped with clogged ducts and optimizing milk flow!
All Lactation Supplements & Breastfeeding Supplies
The most comfortable nursing pillow - can be adjusted to fit all waist sizes. Straps on and has pockets for anything else you may need like nursing (nipple cream, haaka…phone for scrolling hehe)
Nursing Pillows
The best nursing pajamas. I purchased multiple variations (dress, long sleeve, short sleeve sets) and wore them 24/7 the first few days we got home from the hospital. SO comfortable and make nursing a dream.
Nursing PJs, Pregnancy Pajamas & Maternity Robes
Breastfeeding/pumping makes you SO. THIRSTY. I added electrolytes to my water and did my best to stay as hydrated as possible. LMNT is my favorite brand!
Zero Sugar Electrolytes | Paleo-Keto Friendly Hydration
My favorite pump! It's user friendly, comfortable and convenient. Check to see if your insurance covers a pump - mine (partially) did
S1 Plus | Rechargeable Double Breast Pump
