How to stockUp your postpartum/NURSING/baby cart

Stocking up your postpartum, nursing, and baby cart before giving birth is crucial for a smooth and stress-free recovery.

Having all the essentials within arm’s reach allows you to focus on healing and bonding with your baby instead of scrambling for items. This preparation can ease the overwhelming demands of early motherhood by ensuring you have everything you need right at your fingertips.

For mom, the cart should include postpartum essentials like pads, peri bottles, and pain relief sprays to manage discomfort.

Nursing items like nipple cream, breast pads, and a water bottle are vital for keeping you comfortable and hydrated during feeds. Having snacks on hand is also helpful, as nursing can make you feel hungry.

For the baby, the cart should be stocked with diapers, wipes, burp cloths, and onesies. Include a few pacifiers and baby-safe lotions or creams for diaper changes. A thermometer and baby nail clippers are also handy to have nearby. Organizing these items ahead of time ensures that both you and your baby are well-cared for, making the postpartum period a little less chaotic and more focused on recovery and bonding.

I had two carts once in my baby’s nursery and one in my room, had a little kit in each of my bathrooms just to make life easier for me.
