Must Haves for After Baby?

Question

I’m doing some last minute shopping and I wanna know what things you got that were life savers after baby (whether it’s for you or for the baby) or things you wish you would’ve gotten sooner ! I’m trying to think of everything to make myself as comfortable as possible after giving birth lol

Answer

A pacifier strap for all my pacifiers. I started with three pacifiers, got them all clips and haven’t lost a single one. I started out with like 4 of the “burp cloths” and ended up getting a couple packs of gerber cloth diapers to use and burp cloths instead and they were way better.

Answer

I loved my boppy newborn lounger, Velcro swaddlers, breast friend nursing pillow, breast cool/warm packs and lots of burp cloths and rags, and ensure meal shakes( i know that's sounds weird but I had a hard time eating right after i had my son so ensures saved me)

Answer

Wipe warmer if you live somewhere cold, carseat & stroller covers- insulated, again for if you’re somewhere cold, saline drops for stuffy noses, white noise machine (I couldn’t live without one), air humidifier. If i think of any more I’ll leave them in a comment lol

Answer

Boppy, nose frida, lots of burp cloths, muslin blankets, ka’tan wrap, milk snob, backpack diaper bag, Velcro swaddles and sleep sack. For yourself-either meal prep or get lots of high protein/iron snacks! I also drank carnation instant breakfast. I was exhausted after because my hemoglobin was very low (I had a csection) so there was no way I was cooking anything! A friend set up a meal train for every other day and we also used gift cards and did take out. I wasn’t even thinking of those things before my son was born! Also, nipple cream if you are breastfeeding. My dr gave me a prescription one and it was a life saver!!

Answer

Nipple cream
soft robes and slippers
Adult diapers 
Boppy Newborn Lounger
swing
Halo swaddles and Love to Dream swaddles
Amazon Prime
tons of burp cloths (we used Gerber cloth diapers)
Mam pacifiers+ pacifier clips with button adapters
extra changing pad liners(they’re easier to wash than your regular changing pad cover, plus they can be used as a portable changing pad in your car, diaper bag, stroller, etc)
baby clothes in bigger sizes (especially pants)
Closet organizers and extra hangers 
nontoxic soap for everything (refer to the EWG website for the safest hand soap, laundry detergent, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, cleaning products, etc)

Answer

- Old school large pad. These were a lifesaver for me. 
- Cook and freeze some easy, yummy meals. 
- Burp cloths
- My breastfriend. Even though I couldn’t breast feed, this is stiffer and has a support for you back, it saved me by relieving so much back pain!
