Being a new mom comes with a new set of challenges and obstacles. However, when you plan ahead and stock up on the essentials on your postpartum shopping list, you will find that things will go much smoother, and the transition will be easier to handle.

When postpartum shopping, consider the following items for self-care and more.

Tucks Pads And Witch Hazel

These are often given to new moms when they are discharged, but you always want to have some hand for when you run out at home. These items are good for healing and can help prevent hemorrhoids after birth.

Prenatal Vitamins

You may not be pregnant anymore, but you should continue taking prenatal vitamins. When breastfeeding, your doctor will recommend you continue taking them when you return home, so make sure you have another bottle on hand.

Heating Pad

Within the first few days after giving birth, you will most likely experience uterine cramping that can become painful and uncomfortable. A heating pad is good for relieving those cramps as well as back pain.

Sitz Bath

A sitz bath offers a number of benefits for a new mom during her postpartum period. They increase blood flow to the perineal area and help reduce swelling and inflammation while promoting healing. It also relaxes the muscles in the area to help relieve pain. This is especially good after a tear or episiotomy.

Comfy Robe

Comfy robes may be a staple for new moms falling into a new routine while healing. It also provides easy access for breastfeeding moms who want to lounge in comfort while bonding with their little one.

A Good Book

New moms also need to take a break every once in a while, leaving the baby world to someone else just for a bit. It helps to have a good book (not baby related).

Easy And Delicious Snacks

Busy doesn’t do justice to what will be happening after bringing baby home. So, you want to have a good selection of delicious and easy-to-access snacks on hand. Granola bars, trail mix, or anything you can eat with one hand is good since you will probably have baby in the other.

Meals

New moms probably don’t want to or don’t have the time to spend in the kitchen preparing meals. With that in mind, a meal train or a meal drop-off from friends and family is a great way to make sure the new family eats without having to take attention off the baby and themselves.

As you can see from our postpartum shopping list, there is a lot you can get for after baby comes that will make things a bit easier at home.
