scrunchy mom postpartum essentials

After my first birth I really changed my goal postpartum from not just pain relief but focusing on actually healing my body and supporting my recovery. Although obviously you’ll use whatever means necessary to be comfortable those first few days I wanted to also use products full of herbs and nutrients to help support my body rather than just mainstream products full of chemicals that would give temporary relief.

Something I’m also doing this time differently, focusing less on cooling and more on warmth. Like sitz baths and keeping my body warm. The cooling aspect I feel like provides great temporary relief but recently learned warmth helps with better circulation and faster healing. I’m sure I’ll still use cooling for relief here and there but want to try a different approach this time!

Not pictured also is REST. Can’t explain how important it is to rest and let your body heal, something that doesn’t come easy when you have other littles. But definitely will shorten your healing process in the long run 🫶🏼
