What to have at Home after giving Birth
Printable and Pin-able Checklist of What to have at Home after giving Birth. Plan now and it’ll be a much smoother transition bringing your new baby home.
____ Bottom Care
The extra long, super-sized “overnight” pads, Stool softener, Witch hazel pads and all-black cotton panties. Stretchy, dark & comfy yoga pants. Anesthetic Spray, sitz bath, squirt bottle, and bum cream for hemorrhoids.
____ House Care
You need to eat and you need to have clean clothes. I recommend paper plates for a few days. It’s so nice to not have to do dishes. If you don’t have any help, try not to stress out. Enjoy your new baby, the cleaning will still be there tomorrow.
____ Body Care
OTC Pain reliever, a portable fan, bottled waters spread around the house, comfy outfits and (fill in the blanks) _______________________________________________________________________
____ Tummy Care
Start preparing frozen meals now. You can find shopping/meal planning lists online specifically freezer friendly. Or, start saving money now to order out, a lot.
____ Heart Care
A phone list to call your mom friends. They can encourage you, answer any Qs you might have and help you not to feel alone. They understand, and they want to help!
____ Family Care
Have a new, special “after baby” activity. A talk, puzzle, snuggle, book, just 15min a day of interrupted time with each member of your family is so beneficial.
____ Boob Care
Nursing bras, breast pads, lanolin, breast pump and milk storage bags, nursing tanks, frozen washcloths and a basket of snacks for hungry breastfeeding moms
