Let's face it. Postpartum care is not a popular topic of conversation. Here we're covering all of our must-have postpartum products for breastfeeding and "down there."
Disposable Diapers
Buy postpartum diapers! You’ll probably need 1-2 packs in the beginning and then can graduate to pads. You will need these since you will be bleeding for a good two weeks. Don’t ruin your lingerie. Embrace the diapers!
Organic Pads
You may want these on the days where you’re not bleeding as much (usually after 2-3 weeks)
Motherlove Sitz Bath Spray
For fast healing, spray this directly on yourself every time you change your diaper for cooling relief.
Arnica 30x
For faster healing and pain management.
Nursing Pads
You will need to purchase nursing pads unless you don’t mind leaking on your clothes or are going to stay in your PJs at home 24/7 (to be honest, I did the latter, but I hear these are IMPORTANT.)
Lactation Bites
Popularized by Molly Sims, Lori Bregman’feature sun chlorella powder and Brewer’s Yeast to help with milk production and energy.
Lori Bregman’s SeedLyfe New Mom Smoothie Powder
This stuff really works. Helps nourish your body and make you feel a little bit more like your usual energized self.
Hang in there and enlist as much help as you can from friends and family! You really do need a village. You can also find online support groups and google new mom groups in your area.
