Postpartum Essentials Every Mom Needs

Postpartum Essentials Every Mom Needs

If you’re a mom-to-be, chances are you’ve already thought through everything your babe will need once they arrive (if not, we’ve got you). But in case no one’s filled you in yet, baby won’t be the only one coming home in diapers. Translation: You’re going to need plenty of care and attention post-delivery too. Because no matter how labor and delivery goes, postpartum recovery takes time, and we’ve found that these products can make the process a bit smoother. 

Recovery Essentials Kits: The moms on our team (and thousands of others…check the reviews!) swear by these all-in-one kits from Frida Mom for Vaginal Delivery Recovery and C-Section Recovery. You’ll likely end up buying a few extra things to go along with them, but they’re a great place to start.

Care for Down There: Because perineal tears, hemorrhoids, and the first postpartum poop happen. This perineal spray is soothing and made with natural ingredients. These cooling pads provide immediate relief for itching and burning. And stool softener is an absolute must during those first few days post-delivery. Trust us.

Comfy Cozies: A super soft robe you can lounge around the house in, nursing-friendly pajamas (short-sleeve because night sweats), and the easiest outfit for when people are coming over and you need to feel put-together without expending all your energy figuring out what to wear.

Hydration Station: Staying hydrated post-delivery is crucial, especially for breastfeeding moms. Keep a big water bottle close by at all times (this one was designed specifically for new moms and this one is a forever MVP in our books). Add these sugar-free electrolyte packets for an extra boost.

Lip Care: And speaking of hydration…labor is intense and depletes us of hydration everywhere, lips included! Combat chapped lips after birth with this soothing lip mask. This one is a favorite on our team, too!

Skin Care: You probably had a regimen for taking care of your skin during pregnancy, but it’s important to take care of it after baby arrives as well. This nutrient-packed moisturizer is hydrating, antimicrobial, and nourishing. Use it daily as part of your postpartum self-care ritual. And for C-section mamas, this scar treatment cream is amazing. 

Breastfeeding: If you’re planning on nursing, there are more than a couple products that can help you along your journey and we’ve rounded them all up here.

Essentials You Can’t Buy


There are plenty of things that can support you on your postpartum journey, but not all of them can be bought. Having a team of loved ones who can provide practical support (cleaning! hanging with the big sibs! cooking!) is essential, too. And speaking of cooking, we can’t understate just how amazing it is to have meals taken care of in those early postpartum days. Let friends or family create a MealTrain for you, or cook a few freezer-friendy recipes in advance of your due date.
