A postpartum care kit typically aims to help a mother's postpartum recovery and meet daily needs. The most common components are:
- Perineal care spray or bottle: Makes cleaning the postpartum area easier.
- Cooling pads or ice pads: Used to ease swelling and pain.
- Postpartum sanitary pad (larger and more absorbent): Thicker and more comfortable than regular pads.
- Breast pad: Placed inside the bra to absorb milk leakage.
- Comfortable front-opening pajamas or nightgowns: Provide nursing convenience and comfort.
- Nursing pillow: Helps position baby correctly.
- Skin barrier cream or moisturizer: Especially protective against cracked nipples.
- Stool softener or fiber: Used with doctor recommendation to ease discomfort with first bowel movements.
- Notebook and pen: For tracking baby's feeding, sleep, and diaper changes.
The products in these kits vary according to the mother's needs and type of delivery. In caesarean birth, an abdominal support band takes priority; in vaginal birth, perineal care products are more prominent.
