So you've got baby covered. What about you?
Moms aren’t being honestly informed or prepared for the emotional and physical challenges they’ll face in the first year after childbirth, and they certainly aren’t being provided with solutions.
That's why we're creating the Mom Registry. It's the short list of must-have items that you probably haven't been told you need. We asked hundreds of moms what they needed the most postpartum, and what they wished they’d had. So, if you're building your registry, add these first.
Postpartum Recovery Plan
Your one-stop-shop for getting the proper nutritional and topical support with doctor-backed products for inner and outer healing. It's the plan that tackles hair loss, lactation, exhaustion and everything in between.
Anya
Cash fund for postpartum specialists & childcare
When we asked moms what they wished they'd been gifted, this was on every single list. Set up a cash fund for a lactation consultant, doula, night nurse, caregiver or housekeeper. And perhaps prioritize this before anything else.
