What did y’all use postpartum and when did y’all make them

Question

When did y’all make the padsicles for postpartum if you did , or what are some good things for postpartum instead of aloe and witch hazel, I heard the witch hazel burns..

Answer

I used the aloe and witch hazel and didn’t have a problem. I made them about a month before my due date

Answer

I refrigerated the witch hazel pads and didn’t have any issue with burning.  Now I’ve used them for hemorrhoids before and that I did note burning with, but not when I used them postpartum.  The numbing spray is fabulous, someone will know the name, I’m drawing a blank.  I always use adult diapers instead of regular panties until the bleeding slows so I don’t have to worry about leaking around pads onto panties/clothes.  Those long, reusable ice packs are great for the first few days too.  I keep a bottle of ibuprofen on hand as well and stay on top of taking it.

Answer

The nurses showed my husband how to put ice in a newborn diaper and use that instead of premade pads. We just made them as we needed them and only used them for a few days. 
For the bleeding I used adult diapers and the giant pads from the hospital, then just the largest size pads in regular underwear, then slowly got smaller and smaller pads.
