How to prepare for postpartum at home

The must-have products you need

Brought to you by

Giving birth is a wondrous, incredible thing. But, real talk: It’s also hard work—that isn’t instantly over once your baby is in your arms. Whether you have a vaginal or cesarean birth, some rapid body changes and discomfort is to be expected. As your body experiences these changes during the days, weeks and months postpartum, doing what you can to support your recovery is the same as doing what you can to support yourself.

Even if you know that taking care of your body during the postpartum period should be a top priority, it can be hard to know where to start. With the new Birth Prep & Recovery line by Lansinoh, you don’t have to guess what to buy for postpartum body changes.
