Often times mamas will register for what their babe needs once they’re out in the world, but they don’t think about the essentials that’ll help them through the postpartum period. Fortunately we tapped Victoria Cairo, doula and mama of two (including one sweet new babe) who has it pretty dialed in when it comes to what new mamas need for the postpartum journey. From the little luxuries just for mom to milk-producing formulas she swears by, peep Victoria’s picks, below.

“I love all things Frida Mom for postpartum, but these ice pads have been my lifeline after both my births. They’re a little bulky, but so so soothing.”

“This super malleable (and non-toxic) body pillow for pregnancy is by far my favorite nursing pillow once the baby is born, whether you’re breastfeeding or bottle feeding or both.”

“In-between the packs of adult diapers and stacks of burp cloths, it helps to keep a few little luxuries around just for me. One of my current favorites is this gorgeous Joaquina Botanica hydrating essence.”

“I like to invest in some pajama-adjacent loungewear. Even if your daytime plans pretty much look like hanging in bed 24/7, it can feel really good to change out of pajamas come morning.”

“If you’re breastfeeding, this little device will be your best friend. Made from silicone, you simply attach it to whichever side you’re not feeding from and let the gentle suction draw out the milk.”

“It can be easy to lose track of the supplement routine you adopted during your pregnancy, but try not to! Your body is working overtime to heal and repair, so it’s more important than ever to keep nourishing yourself with a great vitamin.”

“This formula is packed with nourishing herbs meant to promote milk production and help soothe baby’s digestive system. I have found his formulations extremely helpful in my personal postpartum healing journey.”

“I encourage all expecting families to read this book in preparation for postpartum. Yes, it is filled with beautiful recipes for foods and drinks that will nourish your postpartum body. But it provides a thoughtful framework for what is going on during the postpartum period.”
