Hello mummas,
Hope you are doing well.
Being a pregnant and delivering a baby is divine felling. You get the new title "MOM" Incredible and the most happiest feeling in the world!!
When you become a first time mom, you required lots of new things. So it is always better to have everything in your place. That makes our life sane and keep us happy.
Items which are required by new moms :🤱🏻
1. Change your wardrobe :
Yes, we have to change our wardrobe. We are almost in extra size and our old clothes are not going to fit at least for 1 year. So don't buy tons of clothes. I prefer minimalisam because handling a clothes pile irritates me. When you have new born, body ache, feeding newborn and if your wardrobe is sorted you will have some amount of mental peace. Believe me it will really bring calmness which we mostly required at that time.
So what kind of clothes you require ?
Mommy uniforms : Everything feeding friendly. 😊 Currently we are able to get feeding dress, t- shirts, gown and western outfits on a single click. Do your best and try to maintain capsule wardrobe - Minimum 10 clothes as per the season.
Feeding kurta : 2 No's.
Feeding t- shirts : 2 No's.
Feeding top : 2 no's.
Feeding nighty : 3 No's.
Some t -shirts and shorts : 2 no's.
These are the minimum quantity that actually we mom required. Easy to handle your wardrobe. This is my personal choice. What do you prefer? tell me in comments.
2. Bra :
After delivering a baby you need a good quality cotton bra. Do have a habit to wear a bra to support your breast. There are feeding bra available in different style but I think normal bra are more comfortable. Cotton is the best material for that time.

3. Panty :
You need cotton panty in high quality because we have to go through blood discharge at least for one month. So always prefer to have perfect size panty. Try to use cotton one. Keep always extra pair.
4. Sanitary pad :
There are new mom's pad available in medical. Do not use that😐 I had a bad experience. Do try to use your regular sanitary pad which are comfortable for you. Keep it plenty of it. Because your requirements will be huge. You constantly need to change in every 3 to 4 hour.
5. Ointment :
Prescribed by your doctor after your delivery. So buy it and use it as per doctor's instructions. Do not skip it.
6. Breast Pad :
This is one of the most necessary items for a new mom. When you start feeding your baby you will have plenty of milk and most of the time you will find milk leakage. It will not only makes your clothes dirty but also not look good in front of the visitors. Use breast pad at least for one month which able to absorb the leakage and keep us clean too. Do not forget to change the breast pad in every 2 hour depends on your milk flow. Breast pads are easily available on Amazon.
7. Moisturizer :
Yes, we need it. Our body tends to get dry. So always use a moisturizer and keep your skin hydrated.
8. Thermas :
As a new mom we have to drink warm water. Invest in good quality thermas which keeps water hot for a long time. You have to drink plenty of waters so buy a new thermas. Keep at least 2 to 3 thermas bottles.
9. Remove your bangles.
Yes, our newborn skin is delicate. Before going to delivery we remove our Jewellery. Do not wear rings, earrings and specially bangles. It will hurt new born babies. So try to not wear at least for 9 months or until you breastfeed them. To avoid any kind of accident prefer to have a bare hand.
10. Scarf, sweater and socks :
This is must must have item 🧕🏻. A cotton scarf or wollen to cover your ear and head. After delivering a baby you have to cover your ears and head at least for 2,3 months. If you want no headache in long term. So that cold air will not harm you.
Sweater and socks are the most important if your baby are monsoon or winter baby. You have to cover your foot and whole body to keep it warm. Always try to keep your body warm.
These are the basic must must items a new mom required. Apart from this we do not need anything. So don't waste your money on non essential things. Save the money for your baby.😊
And yes, BE HAPPY 😊😊 that is the most important as a new mom.
Hope this post is useful to you. Do share with the needy one.
