This postpartum cart changed my life! Welcoming a new baby into the world is an exciting time! As moms, we spend a lot of time focusing on the baby’s needs, often forgetting what we need to help recover during our postpartum care. I wish I had this when I birthed for the first time. 

Having this the second time around has been the best thing ever! I wanted to ensure I was fully stocked up on everything to make my postpartum experience the best experience. 

For help keeping things organized, I used IKEA’s drawer separators called Skubb boxes and IKEA’s Raskog metal cart.

I’m going to break my cart down from top to bottom. 

• Maxi pads
• Postpartum disposable diapers
• Baby wipes
• Sanitized breast pump
• Earth Momma’s Perineal Spray
• Magnesium spray
• Arnica spray
• Natural hemorrhoid spray (if you know, you know) 
• Earth Mama’s Nipple Butter (You must care for the girls!) 
• HealthNut Lip Balm
• Frida Mom Perineal Healing Foam
• Magnesium Balm
• Hand Sanitizer 
• Water Bottle 

Second Shelf 

• Maxi Pad Ice Packs, you can also make your own.
• Adult Disposable Diapers (Trust me, you need these!)
• A variety of different pads and flow sizes; depending on the day, the flow could be very different, and you want to be prepared. 
• Frida Mom Cooling wipes
• Silver nursing cups 
• Hydrogel nipple pads

Bottom Shelf 

• Epson Salts 
• High-rise black cotton underwear 
• Upside Down Peri  Bottle

I cannot recommend this enough, make sure you prep for yourself and not just for baby! Comment below if you have a must-have postpartum item I didn’t list. If you’re looking for more postpartum care reads, please check out
