As new moms, we tend to focus on preparing for the baby’s arrival so we tend to overlook the prep work for postpartum recovery. As a first-time mom, I found myself being sent home from the hospital and scrambling to place an Amazon order for my postpartum supplies. After having 3 babies, I’m sharing my top 10 postpartum recovery essentials with you.
- Peri Bottle
Frida Mom’s Peri Bottle is perfectly designed to rinse off your vag while also keeping your hand out of the toilet. It’s the perfect way to refresh yourself. - Instant Ice Maxi Pads
Frida Mom combined an ice pack and a pad. These are perfect postpartum to help reduce pain and swelling. - Pads, Depends and/or Disposable Underwear
Postpartum bleeding can be intense. I love how comfortable Frida Mom’s disposable undies are! I also loved ditching undies and pads altogether and just using depends! It was a game-changer! - Perineal Cooling Pad Liners (24 witch hazel liners)
Frida Mom’s Cooling Pad Liners provide instant relief and the best part is, they are the length of a pad! So easy to use! - Perineal Healing Foam
Frida Mom’s Perineal Foam helps to reduce pain and swelling. Simply apply on top of the cooling liners and pull up those depends or undies. - Nursing Pads
If you’re nursing, your milk supply is all over the place. I loved these reusable nursing pads to catch any leakage. - Breast Pump And Breast Milk Storage Bags
Most of my milk supply came from early postpartum days. Having milk storage bags on hand helps reduce waste! - Hatch Sound Machine
I love the Hatch Sound Machine because it is both a night light and a sound machine. Having a night light during nighttime feeds is super important for me. - Haakaa Pump
The Haakaa is great for catching milk from the non-feeding breast. Rather than being absorbed by your nursing pad, the bottle catches the leakage and you can store it for future use! - Water Bottle
Water. With nursing, not only are you thirsty alllll day long, but being properly hydrated helps your milk supply. I live with a water bottle on my nightstand as well.
Hopefully, this list will help you make sure that you’re prepared for an easy recovery during this next transition.
