Postpartum recovery starter pack
You’ve got a newborn, a whole new body to get to know, and a perineum that’s seen better days. Whether you’ve had stitches, swelling, or just a serious case of “what just happened?”, postpartum recovery is no walk in the park.
That’s where this starter pack comes in.
We’ve rounded up the MVPs of post-birth care—cooling, soothing, leak-proofing and sanity-saving products recommended by mums who’ve been there. Because you deserve more than rolled-up towels and frozen peas.
Recovery 101
1️⃣ Peri Bottle from Kin Fertility: Postpartum peeing burns, and wiping is a no-go. A peri bottle lets you spritz instead of wipe, making those first few toilet trips a lot less ouchy.
2️⃣Bare Mum Postpartum Skincare Discovery Set: A mini kit of goodness to treat your skin post-birth. Because your face has been through it too.
3️⃣Bubba Bump Disposable Postpartum Underwear: Forget the hospital-issue fishnets. These are soft, stretchy, and made for bleeding, leaks, and dignity (finally).
4️⃣Kin Fertility Postnatal Vitamins: Your nutritional safety net when your lunch is half a muesli bar and a cold coffee. Smart support for your post-birth bod.
5️⃣Hommey Cosy Night In Set: Newborn nights just got a glow-up. This luxe bundle is like a hug for your couch days (and nights).
6️⃣Frank Green Customisable Ceramic Reusable Bottle: Because lukewarm hydration from a crinkled plastic bottle isn’t cutting it. This sleek, customisable number keeps your water cold (or coffee hot) and looks chic in your nappy bag.
7️⃣Franjos Kitchen Raspberry and White Choc Mama Biscuits: Bikkies with benefits. These lactation-friendly treats satisfy your sweet tooth and support your supply—yes, please.

3️⃣Silverette Nursing Cups: Nipple SOS? These magic silver cups are here to save the day (and your bra). Just pop them in and let them work their healing sparkle.
4️⃣My Brest Friend Super Deluxe Nursing Pillow: Because balancing baby on your forearm is not a long-term plan. This pillow gives your back a break while keeping baby in prime feeding position.

1️⃣Ripe Maternity Recovery Compression Shorts: Support where you need it most. These hold-you-together shorts are a postpartum essential—think hug, but make it medical-grade.

Episiotomy Recovery
1️⃣ T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel – A postpartum MVP. Spritz directly onto the area or onto a pad to help with swelling, irritation, and general "why does it still feel like this?!" moments.
