Top Wellness Products to Support Moms

vitalia albertson • Feb 01, 2024

You’re probably thinking, sure wellness is great and all but I am in the postpartum trenches and just need to figure out how to take care of my baby, my own wellness will come one day.  

I get it!

I have been there, in survival mode with each of my own postpartum journeys. The one thing I have learned though, is even when it feels impossible, it is so important to prioritize your own health and wellness. It can be something super simple: like showering and doing a simple skin care routine, going for a solo walk in the sunshine, or grounding your body by walking barefoot in the grass (maybe not this time of year if you live in a cold climate).

Wellness doesn’t have to look fancy postpartum, baby steps!

Here are some of my favorite ways to support your wellness no matter what stage of motherhood you are in:

Clean swaps to help love on your skin postpartum. Because feeling refreshed postpartum is so important when you are running on low sleep My favorite skincare brand postpartum is Primally Pure. They provide clean products you can feel confident using even if your baby decides to eat your face (wait… is that just my kid?). The ingredients are breastfeeding safe, so there’s no need to read a bunch of labels. You’re now able to be confident in your skin because you know what you’re putting on it.

P rimally Pure

The Plumping Mask - makes you feel like you’re at the spa! It has helped me feel so much better in my postpartum.

Everything balm - can be used for literally everything . Itchy/dry skin postpartum, baby skin, dry hands, irritated face. It’s a multipurpose must have staple

Blue Tansy deodorant - the PP body odor can be no joke and out of all the clean deodorant options this one has by far been my favorite. 

Did you know that it can take years to fully rebuild your nutrient stores after having a baby and breastfeeding?  It’s so important to focus on not only a nourishing diet, but also intentional supplementation which can help you feel your best, even when running on little sleep. Here are some products to love for mom (and baby):

Earthley

Magnesium lotion for better sleep.

Nipple balm

Nourish her naturally   is a staple for me but all their tinctures are great

Putting extra focus on protein postpartum can help you with healing, blood sugar balance and re-pleat your body of key nutrients! My two go to favorites: collagen and bone broth powder. Both easy buttons for getting in more protein which is important for postpartum healing

P erfect Supplements

Collagen - Love using to add to smoothies or morning coffee 

Bone Broth Powder - to add to rice or in a pinch when I don’t have any on hand for soups.

An all around great wellness tool to add postpartum! It’s a bit of a splurge but so many benefits of adding RLT in postpartum and having it as part of your families wellness tool box

LumeBox

Reduces inflammation and great for wound healing. Can be shown to help with hair health and regrowth. RLT can help adjust circadian rhythm- use in the morning when first waking up and evening when going to sleep. It is important to maximize the sleep you are getting! (This link saves you!)

10 breastfeeding tips

By vitalia albertson • 31 Jan, 2024
As a Mom of 4 and IBCLC, I wish someone shared with me: (Even if you’re not a first time mom)👉🏻 Spend some time learning about breastfeeding before baby arrives. Prenatal visits with an IBCLC are worth their weight in gold (okay, I might be biased 😉).  If you’re a reader, here’s my favorite book.👉🏻 Mentally prepare for those first two weeks to all about learning how to feed your baby. It’s a lot… no sugar coating. But, it won’t always be that way!👉🏻 Measure your nipples for the correct flange size before baby arrives and order them off Amazon!👉🏻 Stock up on snacks that are filling. Breastfeeding hunger is a new level of hunger. I love keeping Just ingredients chocolate protein on hand for a quick protein shake! 👉🏻 Before you buy a breastfeeding pillow, try pillows ones you have at home. Couch throw pillows are great for breastfeeding! If you are eyeing one, check out this one, it’s my favorite!👉🏻 Practice different positions! You don’t have to feed in the same position you learned in the hospital.👉🏻 Don’t just focus on drinking water, electrolytes are super important too! This is the one I reach for daily.👉🏻 Make sure you’re nourishing your body too! If it’s hard to fit in meals, have a snack ready for each nursing session.👉🏻 Splurge on the nursing or hands free pumping bra, you’ll be living in them for the near future👉🏻 Have an IBCLC on speed dial.  I would love to support you on your journey, reach out to me here and book a visit for the first week baby is here. Support on your breastfeeding journey is so important to help you reach your goals and avoid the google dark hole of information Bonus:👉🏻Breastfeeding can feel like a roller coaster some days, never quit on a hard day, but know it’s okay to switch up your plan for what’s best for your family!
