Postpartum Mama Essentials

This list isn’t exhaustive, and you may see a few duplicates, but all are products I recommend and stand by! Start gathering your supplies and future you will say “thank you!”

I suggest getting a small rolling cart for next to your bed and organize things within reach! Setting your space up for success ensures you spend less time up and moving around, and more time resting and bonding with baby!
