Diy New Mom Survival Kit

Bottled water-When you are nursing, you are ALWAYS thirsty! Always carry water with you everywhere you go. Nature’s Bakery Bars or other favorite go to, quick, yummy snack Perfect go to snack when the new mother needs fuel because they are making milk for a human after all.

Headband/hair ties-Who has time to fix their hair with a new baby around? Throw it in a quick bun or use Goody Spin Clips instead. Love those things. Chap Stick-You are thirsty ALL THE TIME when nursing. So your lips get dry a lot.

Breath mints/gum- A new, first time mom might have issues squeezing in time to brush their teeth in between nursing sessions. But fresh breath always make you feel so much better. Depends/pads-Yes, I went there. They didn't have a period for nine months, and now life is making up for it.

Hemorrhoid cream- Shhh...it happens to the best of 'em. Coffee/Gift Card Could b for dad but after the constant up and down all night of feeding a baby, New Mom will need a little pick-me-up to get them going in the morning if they have some where they need to be.

Germs are everywhere. It is essentially important New Mom Cary's this with them, so whenever a family member wants to hold the baby, they can be prepared to make sure no one shares their germs with the new bundle of joy. Dry Shampoo/Baby Powder Who has time for a shower with a new baby? Did you...

know baby powder is the key ingredient in Dry Shampoo? I'm fairly certain that is why it is included in those travel toiletry kits that are always given as baby shower gifts. Because they aren't suppose to be used with a newborn baby.

Coupon Vouchers for cleaning/cooking/baby sitting-THE. BEST. GIFT. EVER. I didn't prepare freezer meals before my Sweet Pea was born because of my month of bed rest. And it was awesome when friends and family brought food as our welcome home gifts. My mother-in-law also helped out with cleaning.

As fun as it is to sit and hold a newborn baby, New Mom needs you to help with these chores while she heals and builds her breastfeeding bond with the baby. But those baby sitting vouchers will come in handy soon, trust me.

These are just a few ideas of mine but please add or remove this as needed! You could also keep one in the car for emergencys!! Enjoy please like and save!!
