Postpartum Essentials from a First-Time Mom and Dietitian

NutritionkellypuryearComment

During pregnancy, you may find yourself completely focused on your little bundle of joy that is on the way and not at all concerned with the postpartum recovery period following the birth of your new baby! It's a very long, yet exciting 9+ months waiting for your little one to arrive, but no one really tells you what you will need immediately after your sweet babe is born to care for your baby and survive the first 4-6 weeks postpartum. Here is a list of my top essential items for the postpartum recovery period to help you care for yourself as well, because let's face it - you cannot take care of your newborn if you don't take care of yourself too!
