Hydration is Key!
Breastfeeding made me SO thirsty, and staying hydrated is incredibly important for recovery and milk supply. I absolutely love these Just Ingredients Electrolytes—they have clean ingredients and taste amazing! My favorite flavors are orange pineapple and lemon lime. Organic coconut water is also a great natural option!

A cute drinking mug or glass makes hydrating more fun! Whether it’s for iced coffee, water or electrolytes. This one fits in my carseat cup holder as an extra bonus.
Easy, Nourishing Snacks
A mom needs quick and healthy snacks, and oats are great for milk supply! I love making these homemade oatmeal bars—they’re simple, delicious, and perfect for grabbing between baby snuggles.

Comfy, Nursing-Friendly Pajamas
You truly can never have too many pajama sets postpartum. These cotton button-down pajamas were my favorite! Soft, breathable, and perfect for nursing.
A Daily Gratitude Journal
Postpartum is mentally a lot—it's exhausting and overwhelming, but taking time each day to find something to be grateful for can make a huge difference. Even small wins, like a hot shower or a peaceful walk, matter. This one-line-a-day gratitude journal is such a sweet way to reflect and look back on.
Non-Toxic Breastfeeding Essentials
Organic Nursing Pads – A must for those early days when your supply is still regulating.
Clean Ingredient Nipple Butter – This one is amazing because it’s safe for baby, meaning you don’t have to wipe it off before nursing. I used this constantly in early postpartum.
It's nice to bring a few things for baby too! I love this diaper and face cream, they smell so good and have worked really well on my baby! Full zip onesies are also the best. You can never have too many of them. These are organic cotton and so nice!
This basket is the perfect mix of practical and comforting postpartum essentials. Whether you’re preparing for your own postpartum journey or putting together a gift for a new mom, these non-toxic, high-quality products are truly game-changers!
