My Favorite Products for Postpartum Healing

Are you feeling pressured to purchase all of the best products for yourself and your baby? As a doula and a mom, I can relate. I felt that same desire to buy a million products in the middle of the night just to make things easier. In my work, I see so many parents do the same. One of my goals is to prevent my clients from buying useless things. This post compiles all of the tools I use to promote healing during the fourth trimester!

Warmth is essential for healing postpartum: here are my favorite tools to promote warmth.

• Cozy blankets in natural fibers, like cotton or wool.

• Clothing made from natural fibers, like cotton or wool or bamboo

• Bengkung Belly Bind / Bellibind binds

• Heating Pad

• Aromatherapy Eye Mask

• Soothing Nursing Pads

• Haakaa for collecting milk

• Foot basin for foot soaks

• Herbs for foot soak or steam

  • lavender

  • calendula

  • shepherd’s purse

  • chamomile

• Epsom salt for foot soak

Nutrition is an important part of healing. Research shows that if you eat and drink warm, easily-digestible food and drinks, you are less likely to experience a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder. Here are my favorite tools for eating and drinking enough.

• Thermos

• Tea strainer

• Pantry items

  • Oats

  • Rice

  • Beans

  • Nut butters

• Loose leaf tea + spices

Hi! I'm Gigi; I'm a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, lactation educator, and mother to three amazing kids.

I empower families, so once baby arrives, they can focus on resting and bonding instead of researching or stressing. I’m here to streamline the newborn learning curve and guide birth parents, partners, and other family members. There isn’t ONE way to have and raise a little human. I’m here to assist parents as they find THEIR way so that they can thrive in the fourth trimester and beyond.
