items I’m almost 6 months postpartum with my third baby, so I feel like I definitely have some helpful postpartum recommendations for mamas who have had vaginal births! I have not had a c-section so I can’t provide any recs for that - just respect and supp...
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
Insulated Stainless Steel 64oz Water Bottle
I pray the hemorrhoids don’t find you like they found me 😭😭 but if they do, Tucks are the best for fast relief
TUCKS Medicated Cooling Pads, 100 Count
If you’re breastfeeding, these are so helpful to keep by your bedside for a quick snack - bonus, they help increase milk supply ((they taste SO GOOD too! I love the caramel ones))
Lactation Cookies
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
Incontinence Products for Women
If the hospital doesn’t send you home with a peri bottle, get one asap! They help you clean up gently
Peri Bottle
Okay this I didn’t discover til my third pregnancy - button up pajama tops. If you’re breastfeeding late at night and having to pin your PJs up with your chin (iykyk) this is a lifesaver 😆 makes nursing so much easier!
LAKE | The Softest Pajamas Imaginable®. Womens' Sleepwear & Loungewear
Another lifesaver for the tired breastfeeding (or pumping) mama. I loved using this on the other side when baby was feeding so I wouldn’t lose a bunch of milk, or for quick relief if I didn’t want to pump
Haakaa Generation 2 Silicone Breast Pump with Suction Base 5 oz 1pk
I loved my Eufy - I didn’t get a portable pump til my third baby and wish I would’ve had one sooner! This did a great job, was easy to clean and easy to use
eufy Wearable Breast Pump S1 - Hands-Free & Heated Comfort
The Spectra S1 was the best non-portable (but kinda portable) breast pump I’ve used. It worked incredibly well, super easy to use and clean, and is rechargeable so you’re not stuck sitting next to a wall
S1 Plus Premier Rechargeable Double Electric Breast Pump
This serum is 1000% what helped my postpartum bald spots fill back in. I’ve used all of their hair products exclusively for 2 years now and love them. They all help with hair health & growth overall, but this serum = next level hair growth 🔥
IR Clinical Hair Thinning Defense Serum
ALWAYS have Dermoplast ready for post-birth - trust me on this one
Postpartum Spray: Instant Relief for Discomfort
I love these sugar-free electrolytes to help me rehydrate when breastfeeding. My fav “cocktail”: coconut water, a pack of electrolytes, and half of a probiotic soda 👌👌
Sugar-Free
Coconut water helps you rehydrate and also helps with milk supply!
Vita Coco
The pregnancy/postpartum issue we (almost) all have but no one wants to talk about
Preparation H Hemorrhoid Treatment Cream 0.9oz
These are super helpful for keeping you dry between feedings/pumping sessions
Lansinoh Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads
I actually make my own tallow lotion but have heard INCREDIBLE things about this brand from mamas I trust! There are so many benefits of tallow and it’s so good for your skin, as well as baby’s

If it’s in-budget, splurge and order some meal delivery kits if you’re struggling to eat wholesome, healthy meals postpartum. It’s hard to find the time & energy to go grocery shopping and cook - but it’s SO IMPORTANT to nourish yourself during t...
Blue Apron | Meal Kits, Oven-Ready & Ready-to-Eat Meals - No Subscription
Another item I’d definitely recommend splurging on is hiring a housekeeper, even if you can only afford them once or twice a month. It will give you so much peace and save you some much-needed time and energy
