Postpartum: our 10 essentials for a smooth recovery after childbirth

The post-partum period is a time when every new mother deserves to be at the centre of attention, just as much as the newborn. After carrying a baby for 9 months and then giving birth, both body and mind need to be nurtured, respected, and protected… It is a unique chapter of life to both cherish and allow yourself the time to recover from. Here are 10 tips for a gentle post-partum.

1 - Suitable (and stylish) outfits

In 2025, post-partum no longer means unfashionable clothing. Brands like Jolibump and Tajinebanane offer comfortable and on-trend outfits. Whether you're breastfeeding or not, these clothes will accompany you for a long time while showcasing your style.

2 - Relieving your perineum

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

3 - Taking care of yourself… naturally

After pregnancy, the body has a great deal of work to do to replenish its nutritional levels. Vitamins and minerals offer many benefits for the body. Our favourite brand Jolly Mama, a trusted companion for women at every stage of motherhood, offers a range of post-partum dietary supplements, snacks, and 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 energy, a range of collagen dietary supplements to support your joints and enhance your skin, targeted plant shots as well as a post-partum multivitamin dietary supplement ! All made from the finest organic plants, produced in France, and always 100% compatible with breastfeeding: a flawless choice!

4 - Meditate

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

5 - Baby-wearing

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

6 - A nursing pillow (even if you're not breastfeeding)

The nursing 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 absolute postnatal comfort essential.

7 - Investing in your nutrition

Good nutrition helps with recovery, but time is often short. Chef It Up offers a home batch cooking service, perfect for new mothers.

8 - Reconnecting with your body

The Rebozo ritual is an ancestral recentring treatment. It can be practised at home (using Ilado) or in a beauty salon (such as Maison Né). Massage, wrapping, relaxation… A pure moment for yourself.

9 - Baby's sleep

At Charlie Crane, we offer solutions to support sleep: the KUKO baby moses basket for a secure cocoon, or the KODO co-sleeping crib to keep baby close at night. Safety, comfort, and serenity guaranteed.

10 - Taking your mind off things

The Bliss podcast, hosted by Clémentine, explores parenthood with humour and warmth. Her Bliss Vanity brings together post-partum essentials chosen with love. To listen to or to gift — without moderation!
