My Postpartum Recovery
Essentials

These are the products I actually used — and still use — in my postpartum recovery. Everything here is something I would recommend to a friend without hesitation. I have organized them by what they support so you can find what you need most right now.

This page contains affiliate links. I only recommend what I genuinely use.

A note on links — I recommend every single product on this page because it has made a real difference in my life and my healing. Some of the links here are affiliate links, which means I earn a small commission if you purchase through them at no extra cost to you. Others I share simply because I believe in them and think you could benefit too. Either way, my recommendations are always honest and always my own.

01

Nourish

Postpartum depletion is real. Your body just grew and birthed a human — possibly while feeding one too. These are the products that helped me rebuild from the inside out, stabilize my energy, and actually feel nourished instead of just surviving.

AG1 Daily Greens
My single most impactful supplement. I did two stool tests with AG1 in between and my naturopath had never seen beneficial gut flora so high. I drink it every morning without fail.

Magnesium Glycinate
Most postpartum women are depleted in magnesium and don't know it. This form is the most bioavailable and the gentlest on digestion. I take it nightly for sleep, muscle recovery, and nervous system support.

Redmond Re-Lyte Electrolytes
Hydration is so much more than water. I drink electrolytes daily — especially while nursing. Redmond Re-Lyte is clean, no fillers, and actually tastes good. Real salt, real minerals.

LMNT Electrolytes
Another electrolyte I rotate with Redmond. LMNT has great flavours and the same clean formula — no sugar, no junk, just sodium, potassium, and magnesium in ratios that actually support your body.

Redmond Real Salt
I salt my food generously and I mean it. Real unrefined salt supports adrenal health and mineral replenishment — two things every postpartum mama needs. I use this on everything.

Naked Whey Protein
Clean, minimal ingredient protein powder that blends beautifully into smoothies. Getting enough protein postpartum is non-negotiable for hormone recovery and energy — this makes it easy.

Bison Sticks
My go-to grab-and-go protein when I can't make a full meal. High quality, paleo-friendly, and actually satisfying. Keep these in your postpartum snack drawer — you will thank yourself at 2am.

Momentous Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine is one of the most researched supplements for cognitive function, energy, and muscle recovery — three things postpartum mamas desperately need. Momentous is third-party tested and one of the cleanest options available.

Mount Hagen Organic Instant Coffee
My daily coffee and I will not compromise on it. Organic, free of mold and pesticides, and ready in seconds — which matters a lot when you have a baby on your hip. Clean coffee that actually supports your body instead of burdening it.

365 by Whole Foods Instant Coffee
A clean, affordable everyday option for when you need something simple and quick. Organic and free of the junk you want to avoid postpartum — good coffee does not have to be complicated or expensive.

From the Pasture

Organ meats are the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet and the ones postpartum women are most depleted in. If eating liver isn't your thing, Heart and Soil puts it in a capsule. These are the three I recommend most.

Shop Direct
Heart & Soil She Thrives
Formulated specifically for women's hormonal health, energy, and vitality. This blend was made for exactly the season you are in — depleted, rebuilding, and ready to feel like yourself again. One of my most consistent recommendations.

Heart & Soil Bone and Marrow
Bone marrow is nature's collagen and joint support in whole-food form. After growing a baby your connective tissue needs rebuilding — this is a much more bioavailable option than a standard collagen powder.
Shop Heart & Soil
Shop Direct
Heart & Soil Beef Liver
Liver is the most nutrient-dense food you can eat — iron, B12, folate, vitamin A, copper. Postpartum iron depletion is incredibly common and these capsules make it easy to get what you need without having to cook it. This one changed how I felt within weeks.

Rest & Recovery

Sleep deprivation is one of the hardest parts of early postpartum. These tools helped me protect my sleep, support my body's recovery, and use light intentionally — because light is one of the most powerful levers you have for hormones and healing.

Boncharge Red Light Mask
Red light therapy supports collagen production, reduces inflammation, and promotes cellular repair. I use this as part of my evening wind-down — it genuinely makes a difference in how my skin and body feel.

Boncharge Infrared Sauna Blanket
Infrared heat supports detoxification, muscle recovery, and deep relaxation. This is my version of a spa day at home — 30 minutes in the sauna blanket is one of the most restorative things I do for myself.
Shop Boncharge

Boncharge Blue Light Blocking Glasses
If you are up at night with your baby or watching a show after bedtime, these are non-negotiable. Blue light suppresses melatonin and wrecks your sleep quality. The red lens versions block the most harmful spectrum.

Incline Co-Sleeping Pillow
This pillow saved my early postpartum nights. It propped me up at a safe angle so Elowyn could sleep on my chest for those first weeks. I genuinely could not have gotten through that newborn stage without it.

Adult Sleep Sack
No loose blankets while co-sleeping means one less thing to worry about. These are warm, comfortable, and give you peace of mind so you can actually rest when you get the chance.

Magnesium Spray or Lotion
Transdermal magnesium is a beautiful addition to a nighttime routine. Spray or massage onto your legs before bed for muscle relaxation and better sleep without adding another pill to your routine.

Magnesium Lotion
If you prefer lotion over spray, this is a beautiful alternative. Massage it into your skin before bed for the same muscle relaxation and sleep support — just a different texture that some people find more soothing as part of a nighttime routine.

Hatch Sleep Pod
White noise and a consistent sleep environment made a real difference for our nights. A good sleep pod helps signal to your baby that it is time to rest — and anything that helps your baby sleep longer helps you recover faster too.

Body

Feeling at home in your postpartum body starts with how you care for it daily. These are the products that helped me feel nourished, supported, and like myself again.

Shop Amazon
Rocky Mountain Soapco Baby Bomb
This stuff heals everything. Dry skin, eczema flare-ups, cracked nipples — I have used it on both my girls and myself throughout postpartum. Clean ingredients, incredibly effective, and a little goes a long way.

Tallow Balm
Grass-fed tallow is deeply nourishing for postpartum skin — it mirrors your skin's natural lipid profile in a way synthetic moisturizers simply cannot. Incredible for dry skin, stretch marks, and sensitive baby skin too.

Tula Baby Carrier
Babywearing kept me sane. Having your hands free while keeping your baby close supports their nervous system and yours. I used my Tula with both girls — the support is excellent and it grows with them so you are not buying a new carrier every few months.

Boba Baby Wrap Carrier
For the newborn stage specifically, a stretchy wrap like the Boba is magic. It keeps your baby snug against your chest in those early weeks when they just want to be held — and leaves your hands completely free so you can actually function.

Beauty from Bees Skincare Line
This is my skincare and I will not go back. Clean, deeply nourishing ingredients that actually work for postpartum skin — which is dealing with hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, and everything in between. The whole line is beautiful and I reach for it every single day.

Beauty from Bees Baby Products
Safe from birth and gentle enough for the most sensitive newborn skin. I love that I can use the same brand on myself and my girls — clean ingredients, no questionable additives, and products that genuinely work. These are what I reach for on both my daughters.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is beautiful and hard in equal measure. These are the practical tools that made a real difference for me — the things I wish someone had put in a list and handed me before I left the hospital.

Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump
I didn't use an electric pump this time and the Haakaa was everything. You attach it to the opposite breast while nursing and it collects letdown passively. Simple, affordable, and useful from day one.

Soy Lecithin
If you have ever had a clogged duct or mastitis, you know the fear of it happening again. Soy lecithin is a game-changer for prevention — it keeps the milk moving and reduces the stickiness that leads to clogs.

Momcozy Nursing Bra
Comfortable, supportive, and easy to use one-handed at 3am. This is the everyday nursing bra I reach for — soft enough to sleep in and practical enough for everything else.
