Postpartum Cart Must-Haves
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.

- Postpartum disposable diapers
- Baby wipes
- Sanitized breast pump
