I recommend this to every new and expecting mom I meet! These helped my sore, cracked nipples so much more than any creams ever did. For extra relief, pop them in the fridge between uses
Hydrogel pads breast care

You are going to be SO thirsty, all the time - especially if breastfeeding! My sister-in-law got me one of these and it was a lifesaver. Stainless steel keeps it COLD and the straw is great for late night feedingd

I pray the hemorrhoids donāt find you like they found me šš but if they do, Tucks are the best for fast relief

100/10 recommend using Depends instead of the giant maxi pads the hospital will give you. So much more comfortable and keep you way cleaner

If the hospital doesnāt send you home with a peri bottle, get one asap! They help you clean up gently
