Postpartum Essentials for Moms
The postpartum period is undoubtedly a critical period for a mom. The support given by her family members during this period will help her to recover faster. Apart from that, there are so many other things that can make the job of a mom easier and help with her faster recovery. I have highlighted some of the essentials a mom will require after the delivery, below.
* Postpartum belt/belly support:
- 3 in 1 Postpartum Support - Recovery Belly/waist/pelvis Belt Shapewear Slimming Girdle (One Size, Beige) (Bestseller): This was the one I purchased, This belt + Exercise + Proper Diet will help in reducing your belly size
* Nursing Cover
- Cotton Nursing Cover – Large Breastfeeding Cover with Built-in Burp Cloth & Pocket – Soft, Breathable, Chemical-Free, 360° Coverage, Black Nursing Cover for Breastfeeding by San Francisco Baby: This was the one I bought initially, but my baby didn't like this because of the dark color
- Breastfeeding Cover Infinity Nursing Cover Scarf with Pockets, Breathable Cotton Mums Breastfeeding Apron Shawl Baby Car Seat Cover Newborn Baby Swaddle Blanket Grey: We bought this, and so far felt good
* Nursing pad
- Medela Breast Milk Storage Bags 100 Count and Disposable Nursing Pads 120 Count, Breast Pump Accessories to Help Moms Begin and Continue Breastfeeding (Bestseller)
- KeaBabies Reusable Nursing Pads for Breastfeeding - 4-Layers Organic Bamboo Nursing Pads - Breastfeeding Pads - Washable Breast Pads - Natural Bamboo Maternity Pads, Nipplecovers: This was the one I bought, I initially purchased the disposable ones, but then started getting allergies. This serves the purpose well.
- Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads, 100-Count: Initially bought this, but started getting allergies because of the gum.
Other product suggestions for the mom
* Nipple guard
This is something which was really helpful for me. I used it to help my baby in latching properly for breastfeeding, once my baby was ok using this, I slowly started removing this. You will need this only for a short time, but for that time, it would be really useful
* Breastfeeding Pillow
This was another thing that greatly helped me with breastfeeding. This will help in placing the baby in a proper position which is one of the prerequisites of successful breastfeeding. You can also use a regular pillow to get a proper positing for breastfeeding, but this is far more convenient.
- My Brest Friend Original Nursing Posture Pillow, Grey & Yellow Fireworks: This is good, it was also convenient to wash & put on back, and the pillow cover quality was also good
- Boppy Original Nursing Pillow and Positioner, Pink Garden, Cotton Blend Fabric with Allover Fashion
* Nursing Bra
- habibee Womens Nursing Bra Seamless Sleep Breastfeeding Maternity Bra with Remove Bra Pads Extenders 3 Pack : This is the one that I purchased, it was good for breastfeeding, but the hooks came off pretty soon.
* Maternity pants/tops
Any loose T-shirts can be used for breastfeeding. I have included some good, reasonably cheap ones below:
- Smallshow 3 Pcs Maternity Nursing T-Shirt Modal Short Sleeve Nursing Tops
- Bearsland Women's 3 Packs Maternity Nursing Tops Short Sleeve Breastfeeding Tshirts: This was the one which I purchased, it was convenient to wear, didn't lose color on multiple washing
- Amazon Essentials Women's 2-Pack Tech Stretch Short-Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirt (Bestseller)
- Amazon Essentials Women's 2-Pack Tech Stretch Short-Sleeve Crewneck T-Shirt (Bestseller)
* Breastfeeding Nightgown/Nightie
Nightgowns/Nighties are very convenient for breastfeeding
- Ekouaer Long Nightgown,Women's Loungewear Short Sleeve Sleepwear Full Length Sleep Shirt with Pockets,Plus Size S-4XL: This was the one which I bought, it is very convenient to wear & long-lasting
- Ekouaer Womens Nursing/Delivery/Labor/Hospital Nightdress Short Sleeve Maternity Nightgown with Button S-XXL
Ekouaer Women Nightgown Long Nightshirt Button Up Sleepwear Long Sleeve Loungewear Full Length Sleep Dress S-XXL
* Hands-Free Breast Pumping Bra
This can be a convenient option in the initial days especially if breastfeeding is not working out for you well. In the long term, pumping may not be a good option as it can become time consuming
* Nipple Cream (Optional)
You need to buy this only if you have nipple crack or dryness.
- Medela Purelan Lanolin Nipple Cream for Breastfeeding, 100% All Natural Single Ingredient, Hypoallergenic, Soothing Protection, Safe for Nursing Mom and Baby, 1.3 Ounce Tube
- Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter for Breastfeeding and Dry Skin, 2-Ounce: I bought this but then I returned it as I didn't have to use it much
* Hazel pads (Optional)
This can be good for healing postpartum hemorrhage. You can also ask your doctor if you can take it. I didn't take this.
* Breast Massager (Optional)
This may be required only if you have engorged breasts (if your breast is full due to excess milk), also if your breast becomes hard consistently because of clogged ducts
