Postpartum: Our 10 essentials for a good recovery after childbirth
Discover our tips for a smooth and peaceful postpartum experience. From self-care and time for yourself to time with your baby, we'll tell you everything!
Postpartum is a time when every new mother should be the center of attention, just as much as the newborn. After carrying a baby for 9 months and then giving birth, the body and mind must be pampered, respected, and protected. It's a break in life that you should both enjoy and give yourself time to recover. Here are 10 tips for a smooth postpartum period.
1 - Suitable (and stylish) outfits
In 2025, postpartum doesn't mean outdated clothing. Brands like Jolibump and Tajinebanane offer comfortable and trendy outfits. Whether you're breastfeeding or not, these clothes will last a long time while enhancing your style.
2 - Relieve your perineum
The perineum is put under a lot of strain after childbirth. To relieve it, consider ice packs or sanitary pads placed in the freezer. The Sister Fee l brand offers a ready-to-use perineal cryotherapy kit, ideal for soothing pain and promoting overall well-being.
3 - Take care of yourself… naturally
After pregnancy, the body has a lot of work to do to replenish its nutritional levels. Vitamins and minerals have many benefits for the body . Our favorite brand Jolly Mama , an ally of women at every stage of motherhood, offers a range of postpartum food supplements, snacks and dedicated broths . Their products are designed to support you in the face of fatigue, whether physical or emotional, as well as common problems such as disturbed sleep, hair loss or low morale. Discover gourmet snacks to regain strength, a range of collagen food supplements to support your joints and enhance your skin, as well as targeted plant shots! All made from the best organic plants, made in France, and always 100% compatible with breastfeeding: it's flawless!
4 - Meditate
The podcast "Birth of a Mother ," created by Sandra, offers positive affirmations to help you refocus and reconnect with yourself. A gentle interlude to help you better experience your emotions and regain your confidence.
5 - Carrying baby
Babywearing allows you to meet your baby's need for closeness while keeping your hands free. Studio Roméo 's skin-to-skin headband and sling wraps are perfect from birth: knotless, made of organic cotton, and suitable for use even in summer. 
6 - A nursing pillow (even if you are not breastfeeding)
The nursing pillow is a multifunctional ally. The Moon model from Ehlée ties around the waist, relieves pain, and supports the baby during meals or naps. A must-have for postnatal comfort. 
7 - Invest in your food
A good diet helps with recovery, but time is often short. Chef It Up offers a home batch cooking service, perfect for new mothers.
8 - Reconnect with your body
The Rebozo ritual is an ancestral centering treatment. It can be practiced at home (thanks to Ilado ) or in a salon (like at Maison Né ). Massage, tightening, relaxation… A pure moment for yourself.
9 - Baby's sleep
At Charlie Crane , we offer solutions to promote sleep: the KUKO baby bassinet for a secure cocoon or the KODO co-sleeping cradle to keep baby close at night. Safety, comfort and serenity are guaranteed.
10 - Take your mind off things
