From a postpartum binder to cooling pads, we've rounded up the best postpartum must-haves that mums need in their postpartum recovery kit.

Have you given your postpartum must-haves some thought? For months, you’ve been focused on taking care of your body–for your baby.

So we’ve rounded up some of the postpartum must-haves to help you with a faster and more comfortable journey to recovery.

Mama’s Choice Body Shaper Breathable Corset Review

Postpartum Must Have: Mamas Choice Body Shaper Breathable Corset

7 Things Mums Need To Have In Their Postpartum Recovery Kit

If there’s one thing that mums worry about the most after childbirth, it is the way they can get rid of their postpartum belly and regain their pre-pregnancy body.

While the journey may take some time, mums can find support in Mama’s Choice Body Shaper Breathable Corset.

Comfortable and easy to use, this postpartum binder helps post-delivery recovery by supporting the abdominal muscles and reducing postpartum swelling.

It also visibly flattens the stomach area for a slimmer look, reduces back pain, and even improves posture.

It is also available in neutral black and nude colours and can also be worn under your clothes.

UpSpring C-Panty Review

UpSpring C-Panty

7 Things Mums Need To Have In Their Postpartum Recovery Kit

After giving birth, your favourite lace underwear is still a no-go. Instead, go for high-waisted panties that are comfortable enough to accommodate your postpartum body while providing much-needed support.

And if you underwent a C-section, UpSpring’s C Panty is a good choice because it comes with a silicone panel that protects the wound and helps to minimise scarring and irritation.

Besides the special silicone panel, we like the medical-grade compression and the full-cut design. 

What to love about it

Benefits:

  • It protects the incision area, minimises scarring and reduces irritation 
  • It has medical-grade compression to reduce swelling and discomfort

Features: 

  • No seams, bindings, hooks or bands to ensure maximum comfort
  • Patented silicone panel
  • Full-cut rear

Breastfeeding begins minutes (sometimes even seconds!) after childbirth. And from then on, new mums will almost always have their newborns attached to them as they nurse the first few weeks.

With that, it’s a good idea to invest in a nursing bra that allows easy breastfeeding access, just like Lunavie’s Antibacterial Seamless Nursing Bra.
