You’ve gotten past the pregnancy phase and can finally lay eyes on your precious baby! Now that he or she is here, you can put your hard work of months of gathering the best baby products around to use. But what about YOU? Taking care of yourself should be a priority too, which is why I have rounded up my postpartum essentials for moms that will help you get adjusted to this new season of life!
From my favorite nursing bra (that offers support, too) to my can’t live without eye cream (for those sleep deprived days), I am sharing a list of postpartum essentials (what I have loved after having my son and daughter) so that you can feel your best while easing into the chaos of mom life!

1
. Kindred Bravely Nursing & Hands Free Pumping Bra: This
nursing friendly bra is super comfortable while still being supportive and most definitely a postpartum essential when nursing. I love that it’s basically a t-shirt bra and invisible under clothes. I can seamlessly transition from nursing to hands-free pumping, which definitely makes life easier with a newborn!
2
. Magnesium Powder: After multiple days in the hospital on IV fluids, I was excited to get home and back into my supplement routine. I typically take a magnesium supplement before bed, but I needed an extra dose postpartum.
This magnesium powder mixes easily with water, was easy to drink daily, and made me feel like a new person.
3.
Nursing Pajamas: These were my favorite
maternity pajamas for their comfort, ease and of course stylishness. And they transitioned beautifully into postpartum. They are nursing friendly, and the robe allows for more modesty when visitors pop by to see the baby.
4
. Mothers Milk Tea: For the nursing mamas, you want to drink and eat things that are geared to support your breast milk. This
organic tea tastes pretty good and is easy to sip throughout the day.
5.
Eye Mask: Sneaking in a nap when the baby is sleeping is the goal as a new mama. And since those naps often happen during the day, a good eye mask helps block out the light and allows for better sleep. This
eye mask also feels lovely on the skin and doesn’t leave marks on your face.
6.
Breast Balm Salve: Applying this
Breast Balm Salve after every feeding made a world of a difference! This ensures you can nurse baby with ease.
7. Nursing Dress: This is a very forgiving & comfortable dress for postpartum and great for nursing as well.
8. Frida Mom 2-1 Lactation Massager– This portable massager and heater is a lifesaver for breastfeeding mamas as it helps unclog milk ducts. It saved me when I had mastitis
9. Cozy Slipper + Sandal—These sandal/slippers are perfect for tired feet that need a cozy yet supportive house shoe that can easily transition to outside of the house too
10. Sunflower Lecithin— This is another great supplement for preventing & removing clogged milk cuts; it is also helpful when weaning from nursing.
11. Silicone Scar Sheets– These soft, lightweight, and breathable silicone sheets are comfortable for 24-hour wear and helped heal my c-section scar and fade it.
12. The First Forty Days– This is an essential reference book that helps you wrap your head around the postpartum phase and provides expert advice and recipes to help you heal and enter this new stage with grace & confidence.
13. Pumping Bra– The game-changer for postpartum moms! This award-winning bra brings together the best of both worlds to support all your daily nursing & hands-free pumping needs.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this list of postpartum essentials. Having the right products can make the new role of mom much easier and comfortable. Remember that making yourself a priority will allow you to be refreshed and even better for your sweet baby. Follow me on Instagram
