Postpartum: our 10 essentials for a smooth recovery after childbirth

The postpartum period is a time when every new mother should be at the center of attention, just as much as the newborn. After carrying a baby for 9 months and then giving birth, body and mind need to be nurtured, respected, and protected… It is a life pause that must be both savored and given the time needed to recover. We share 10 tips for a gentle postpartum experience.

1 - Suitable (and stylish) outfits

In 2025, postpartum no longer means outdated clothing. Brands like Jolibump and Tajinebanane offer comfortable and stylish outfits. Whether you are breastfeeding or not, these clothes accompany you for a long time while showcasing your style.

2 - Relieving the perineum

The perineum takes a real beating after childbirth. To relieve it, think about ice packs or sanitary pads placed in the freezer. The brand Sister Feel offers a ready-to-use perineal cryotherapy kit, ideal for easing pain and promoting overall well-being.

3 - Taking care of yourself… naturally

After pregnancy, the body has a great deal of work to do to rebuild its nutritional levels. Vitamins and minerals have many benefits for the body. Our favorite brand Jolly Mama, a companion for women at every stage of motherhood, offers a range of postpartum dietary supplements, snacks, and dedicated broths. Their products are designed to support you through fatigue, whether physical or emotional, as well as common issues such as disrupted sleep, hair loss, or low mood. Discover indulgent snacks to regain your strength, a range of collagen dietary supplements to support your joints and enhance your skin, targeted plant shots as well as a postpartum dietary supplement multivitamin! All formulated from the finest organic plants, made in France, and always 100% compatible with breastfeeding: it is a flawless choice!

4 - Meditating

The podcast Naissance d'une Maman, created by Sandra, offers positive affirmations to help you refocus and reconnect with yourself. A moment of gentleness to better navigate your emotions and regain confidence.

5 - Babywearing

Babywearing meets baby's need for closeness while keeping your hands free. The skin-to-skin band and the sling wraps from Studio Roméo are perfect from birth: no knots, organic cotton, and usable even in summer.

6 - A breastfeeding pillow (even if you are not breastfeeding)

The breastfeeding pillow is a multi-purpose ally. The Moon by Ehlée model ties around the waist, relieves pain, and supports the baby during feeds or naps. An essential for postnatal comfort.

7 - Investing in your nutrition

Good nutrition supports recovery, but time is often short. Chef It Up offers an at-home batch cooking service, perfect for new moms.

8 - Reconnecting with your body

The Rebozo ritual is an ancestral recentering treatment. It can be practiced at home (thanks to Ilado) or at a salon (such as Maison Né). Massage, wrapping, relaxation… A pure moment for yourself.

9 - Baby's sleep

At Charlie Crane, we offer solutions to promote sleep: the KUKO baby basket for a cocooning, secure environment, or the KODO co-sleeping bassinet to keep baby close at night. Safety, comfort, and peace of mind guaranteed.

10 - Taking your mind off things

The Bliss podcast, hosted by Clémentine, tackles parenthood with humor and kindness. Her Bliss Vanity brings together postpartum essentials thoughtfully crafted with love. Listen to it or gift it freely!
