1. Nursing Bra

2. Body Pillow

You probably already made this purchase when you were pregnant, but it will also come in handy postpartum. As a new mom, you need sleep. This can become difficult during the healing process, especially if you are still experiencing leg cramps, pelvic pain and stiffness, and back pain. A body pillow provides you with the support and comfort you need at night.

3. Sitz Bath

A sitz bath can improve the blood flow to your perineal area and can help reduce swelling and inflammation after you have your baby. It promotes healing in your postpartum days and relaxes the muscles, easing any pain you may be experiencing from childbirth stretching.
