Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | Must have list for new mums
As a first time mum, you want to be so prepared of the arrival of your new bubba! We spend so much time planing, nesting and preparing to make sure we have everything we need for this new bubba. But it can be overwhelming when it comes to getting it all together.
Firstly let’s put a few things together for the first few weeks of postpartum because mama you have to look after your self too. Now I’m not your most conventional person. I love a great low-tox alternative. So be prepared to have some different options.
For the mama…
Peri bottle – the Kmart sauce squirter is perfect for the job.
Yoni steaming herbs – add into peri bottle to aid with healing.
Slippery elm and olive oil paste- helps with tears or grazes.
Castor oil and heat pack – to warm to womb
Warming womb tinctures
Black sesame seed oil – rub on womb
Bonding herbal tincture – helps with mother baby connection
Congee, broths and stews – easy, nutritious postpartum meals.
Pads, pads, pads and more pads
Witch hazel peri spray – antibacterial spray
Bluey pads – to catch any bleeding
Haaka– help catch your breast milk
The first 40 days book – amazing postpartum resource. In fact I wrote a whole blog post about it
Okay now that we have mama sorted, let’s move on to baby.
A milk source – if you are choosing to breastfeed, perhaps consider some nipple balm or a pump. Alternatively if you choose to formula feed, you will have to get some bottles and a steriliser.
Something to catch the poop and wee – cloth nappies, disposable or even elimination communication. Our favourite style of cloth nappies are bare and boho. We also love the clean cloth nappy method for cleaning and sanitising your nappies. As for disposables. Tooshies by toms, rascal and friends and naty nappies are amazing natural brands.
A safe place to sleep. This could be a bassinet, cot or co sleeper.
A car seat. Hey we have to drive around, right?
Some warm clothes, zip onesies are a must!
Loads of cuddles!
Sometimes we over complicate what our baby really needs but I love to bring it back to the basics.
