Must haves for moms during post partum recovery?

Question

I saw someone post asking what are must haves for baby registries. I thought of my niece who’s having her first baby in June, so I went in to see what I can get her. Now I’m wondering, what would be good items to give her for her recovery? 
Please advise. I’d love to make her a “gift basket” of items for recovery.
She is planning for vaginal delivery.

Answer

If you can, frozen prepared meals. I did burritos, breakfast sandwiches, and soup for my friends when they had their baby and then about a month later as well. Your friends are going to be too tired to cook and clean the dishes.

Answer

A really nice pair of pjs, home cooked meals or vouchers for food deliveries, compression socks, heating/cooling pads

Answer

I bought the frida mom postpartum ice pads and wipes and sprays and the sitz bath stuff and then I ended up with an emergency c section and most of it went to waste. I would just buy her some nice button pajamas and fuzzy socks and some snacks or gift cards for food. maybe some super comfy undies and slippers.

Answer

A gift card to her favorite place to eat. 
Disposable nursing pads.
A nice robe.
Fuzzy socks( the ones in the hospital are not that great)

Answer

A nice pair of Peri bottles (one for each bathroom, the ones from the hospital are crap)
Oatmeal flour (for the sitz bath for the itchy phase of healing, esp if she has stitches)
Vitamin E oil (for encouraging healthy tissue healing down there and preventing friction from dryness)
A sitz bath
Epsom salts
Self care items like silk scrunchies, hand lotion, chocolate, candles

Answer

Witch hazel wipes, preparation H, colace, tylenol/advil, peri bottle, adult diapers, overnight pads those are the essentials for vaginal birth.

Answer

If she's having a vaginal delivery frida mom makes padsicles and other postpartum items. I liked them because they didn't have to be stored in the freezer. Who wants to go all the way to the kitchen to change a pad? You can check the target website for all the goods.

Answer

Spritz for bits is great, you can use it even if you have a c section, mine has healed so well but when it niggles or itches slightly the spray really helps to soothe it.
