It was guesswork when I bought stuff for Reuben's postpartum recovery. Now I know a little more about what to expect, although every birth is different. Here is what I bought (with links) in case you are interested!
So, what's in my Crunchy Mama Postpartum Kit?
Hemorrhoid Cream from How He's Raised
Seventh Generation Pads
Sitz Bath Spray
Stretch Mark Oil
From Thrive Market
Breast pads
Lanolin
From Amazon
From my baby shower I got the bath herbs and the nipple cream from a dear friend. You can also hear me talk about why I got what I got in the video below!
