1. MY BEST HEALING PRODUCTS for the first 6 weeks:
Sitz bath: amzn.to/3ukVf7h
Dermaplast: amzn.to/3b2hbwi
Fridamom Undies: amzn.to/3ejxDKy
Best Pads: amzn.to/2Rjf1Bn
Forgot to mention Peri Bottle (but I used mine from the hospital)
2. Mattress Protector: amzn.to/33cfJ6j
3. Diaper Station Baskets: go.magik.ly/ml/17311/
4. Take any and all classes BEFORE the baby is here.
I recommend and used Happy Healthy Eaters for BLW (coupon codes in bottom of description) and Taking Cara Babies for sleep.
5. Legendairy Milk's Lactation Pills: amzn.to/3eh8KiE
6. GO MARCO Bars or Healthy Snacks: amzn.to/33hDwBL
7. OUTFITS: Don't splurge on a new wardrobe for your ever changing postpartum body, BUT do get some COMFY clothes to wear.
I suggest robes, Oversized Tees, and skip those nursing bras.
I would suggest lightweight delivery robes from Pink Blush Maternity & winter/warmer robes from Skims Cozy collection. I'm sure Amazon has great options too!
I love Neiwai for comfy second skin bras and low rise underwear.
I love the everybody fits line from Skims for high rise undies.
I love Free People's happiness runs tanks for easy breastfeeding tops.
I love Aerie's ribbed bras for my Elvie pump and everyday wear.
I love Urban Outfitters Kya sweatpants for everything lol...I have collected them in 5 colors over the past 10 months. I also love their oversized sweatshirts and t-shirts.
I personally never wore my belly bandit for more than 2 days, and I felt like I wasted my money there, and on spanx. Maybe other people love stuff like this for their postpartum journey, but it most certainly wasn't a must have like I thought it was going to be!
8. BEST GIFT FOR NEW MOMS: FOOOD & FOOD GIFT CARDS
9. Join all the Mama FB groups.
Snoo Mamas is a great start point (mostly product reviews/suggestions).
Legendairy Milk also has a great one for breastfeeding mamas
10. You can't pour from a cup that is empty.
Sometimes you may have to do what "feels selfish" to be selfless.

I'm SO curious, what are your mommy must haves?!
ALSO HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY (a little late lol)
Happy Mother’s Day to you too
So a definite mommy must have that I still use 21 months postpartum is “Boobie Latte” by milksta. It’s a vegan,dairy free decaffeinated coffee drink to boost your milk supply/maintain a healthy one. Omg it’s amazing! If you don’t want to drink coffee because of the effects caffeine might have on your little one and you want a healthy milk supply; you need this lol. Happy Mother’s Day!
Learn to eat,work etc. With one arm lol
Happy mother's day 💓the hakaa was a game changer for me as a mom! I second the sweats!!
Happy late mother's day! A mommy must have a friend, a mate, a human to talk about feelings, fears, and to hear that she's not alone and doing it great. I think this is the most needed must have for a mom 🤎
YES to the food delivery gift cards! Every time a friend or family member has a baby now, I text them a $50 gift card while they’re still in the hospital. It’s the best thing in the world as new parents!
7 months postpartum and I tell my now pregnant friends the always diapers for the first few days of heavy bleeding saved me and was way easier to slip on and off instead of dealing with a pad and underwear, however, I then used the Frida mom underwear with the pads once it got lighter. The Frida mom underwear is so comfy!
lmaoooo the panic with the alarm was me
Same!! I didn't even understand what it was saying other than attention, all I thought was "attention, you could die" xD
I felt so blah with RUclips lately and then I found you... wow!! You’re amazing and such a fun person to watch. I’m due in July with my second baby girl and so so feel like you are a real life friend by how you talk and interact. Such a breath of fresh air 🙌🏼💕🌼 Thank you for being in the youtube world and making vids for all the mommies 🤍
Arrow is just the cutest, 10 more weeks until my girl, Eliza is here ! I can’t wait ❤️❤️❤️
It's gonna be life changing ! Goodluck with the delivery
@@5HAY1A thank you ❤️ I’m so ready for her
Same! 10 more weeks and my first baby comes. Getting more and more excited. So close!! Best of luck to you!
Good luck with the delivery process ❤️
You're gonna be an amazing mamma ❤️
@@samanthanel1129 good luck to you too mamas!
Don't ignore fire alarms, even when you know it's probably nothing! We had a "false alarm" at our appt building during a thunderstorm, and an hour later, the fire alarm was on fire.
My son is 9.5 months old. I’ve been watching your channel for 5 months now. I enjoy watching your videos every Monday. It’s been my routing. Love you 😍
Single mom of a 2 month old and I wish more people understood that I’m sleep deprived and just want food, not to chat😂
If you're in MD I got ya!!!
I'm a mom to a 2 month old too, how I have gone 2 months with almost no sleep is beyond me 😂
Yassss! The video i didn’t know I needed! Thanks for blessing us Brittany ❤️
I am newly pregnant and I found this so helpful and enlightening! I love to be prepared so thank you!
I’m 33 weeks pregnant and a first time mom. This info helped me a lot thank you ❤️
It’s so crazy how your channel evolved I’ve been watching your channel for years and seeing bby arrow is everything your a great mom no journey is easy , your doing a really good job 👏 ❤️and then your mom on the view videos back that was awesome 😊
Praying that everyone falls asleep quickly and has a peaceful sleep. Hope you all wake up happy and well rested 😘😘😘😘
I'm watching you from Colombia. I appreciate you so much you are such a strong woman. Watching you posting videos bring me joy
The fire alarm made my heart skip a few beats 😂😂
Happy Mother's Day! My little guy is 5 months and I love following you and Arrow on your journey 💕
I agree with so much of this list! Sweatpants and soft fabrics are essential, as is any meal you don't have to cook. I also recommend investing in hair and shower products that you love so when shower time is the only "me" time you get, it feels more spa-like and truly like self-care.
I can totally relate about that fire alarm! It takes on a whole new meaning when you have a baby (in my case 2 month old twins) I was definitely not mentally prepared!
🥰 Happy mother's day! You're my survival guide, thanks for making me feel sane in this journey ❤️
Having my baby by section in just 10 days love all your momma content 🥰
My brother is paying for prepared meals for me for when I come home so sweet
You’re brother knows what’s up!!
Wishing you the best experience in 10 days 💞
Solid starts is amazing for BLW, very complete and easy to understand information!
also i agree about the courses! luckily the hospital i gave birth at gave free zoom classes for breastfeeding and i learned so much! i think if i hadn’t taken the class i wouldn’t have been so confident or maybe would have gave up because the first week post partum was almost a breaking point for my breastfeeding journey.
Just discovered your channel and I love it! I’m 25 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I’ve been watching all of your videos!
Never bored of watching your videos. I follow quite a few youtube moms but I only keep up with each and everyone of your videos.
this is GENIUS!!! I have to say I as a new mom as well, have a diaper station in EVERY room too! The macro bars are brilliant! Especially when you’re so busy doing other things that by the time you “sit” down... it’s almost like I am fasting (but not on purpose!). I think I’m going to add bars to my list! I also like the food gift cards as a gift because that would be so convenient!!
Also, Happy Mother’s Day!! Your videos have helped me so much through motherhood❤️
Hey Brittany, I have been following you for a while now, I feel so bad that I wasn’t following you when I needed it the most but better late than never :) I love how you told us about the nursing bra because honestly it’s easier the way you said it.
I love watching these videos so much! You keep it so real. I really appreciate it 🥺💕
😘💞
39 weeks and going in for my cervical ripening tomorrow! Was planning on making a last minute amazon order today and you basically just made my list for me 🥰❤
Congratulations! Is baby here yet? 💙💖
Thankfully my postpartum wasn’t bad. I loved the ice pads from the hospital, we asked for a ton. And everyone downs the mesh undies from the hospital but I took a ton and loved them. I also used the peri bottle the hospital provided. But I didn’t need dermaplast or anything thankfully ❤️. My baby was only 6lbs 8oz though.
I’m 29 weeks rn and I have been watching you since before I was pregnant and now I’m trying to soak up all the info you have given as much as I can
I'm 27!!!
We all appreciate your mom & baby vids! I became a momma in 2020, so much begins to change! (for the better) You rock!!! You never let us down!! 😭💕💕 (and YES to having snacks on hand, non dairy!! & yes to the Tucks pads, they can stick!! yikes!!)
The sitz bath is a MUST HAVE! I didn’t realize it until I was home too.
sooooo helpful!!
Guys, isn’t the sitz bath the actual device/little tub that you put on the toilet? These are sitz bath *salts* 😘
Same!
First time I get here so quickly!!!! Thanks for sharing ♥️♥️
Happy Mother’s Day to you too. Also I freaked out when I heard that alarm. Glad you guys are ok.
You have such fun personality! Love your videos! In fact watching only your videos after giving birth to my son in February. Just please know that you are amazing and doing AMAZING job! So cool mom!
I was so bare boned and minimalistic with my little one, completely unintentional 😂 I was sooo sick and in pain after a horrible c-section experience, for the first 6 months I don't remember "needing" anything besides my belly wrap to hold me together, my woven wrap carrier because I was too tired and weak to hold onto my chunky baby, and lots and lots of tylenol 😅💛 so thankful that postpartum stage is finally done with and I can finally enjoy being a mama
Love watching your videos Brittney. I just gave birth to our baby girl so let the journey begin 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Happy mother's day to you as well. Your doing a great job😊😊😊.
Happy Mothers day 💓 love the new intro btw
This is really good advice. Learned many of these things the hard way.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us 😍🥰💕
I'm expecting in October, this is extremely helpful :)
Thank you for this Brittany! Especially number 10, so hard to do.
Yes to all of this! Especially the bed mattress protector and keeping a basket of diapers and wipes everywhere. And food! I wish people had brought me food. I meal prepped before but it doesn’t changed the fact that you still have to cook what you prepped. There’s nothing better than having hot food delivered to your door!
I also live in an apartment in LA and the fire alarms are CONSTANTLY going off omg it's soo frustrating! They go off whenever someone in the building is cooking something smoky and they open their front door to let out the smoke.. and that triggers the alarm for the whole building 🙄 and they are so loud they hurt my ears, I cannot imagine having to deal with these fire alarms with a baby, my heart goes out to you!
Perfect timing! First babe due in 3 weeks!
My favorite day of the week 🥰
I have to agree with the mattress protector!
The baby groups are so helpful!
Our second child comes ins November and I loooove my WhatsApp group.
Just to have someone to talk to who is in the same stage of pregnancy is super helpful
Been loving and looking forward to your videos my husband and I are trying, we’re recently married and looking to learn everything we can. This will be our first baby and have a lot to learn! ❤️
awww I'm happy to be a part of your journey!
Had the biggest smile when I saw the toy in your diaper basket. My daughter is 8 months old and I feel you 😅 Im from Belgium and it makes me emotional to see that we all live the same situations all around the world ❤️
I know it may sound weird but I love every time seeing you feeding your baby. I’m breastfeeding my four month little girl too so I just love every single moment of it ❤️
I’m 38 weeks right now, and our mattress is covered in puppy pads in case my water breaks😂
Congratulations lol !!! I remember being 38 and being done with it all . My baby is a month now
My water broke getting out of bed at 38 weeks exactly lol! Good luck mama!💕
My water broke when I laid in bed to go to sleep. 🤣 I had just put fresh sheets on lol
E A thats a good idea! Im currently 30 weeks and I will be using that tip for sure lol. Don’t want ruin my new mattress 🤪
That is a hilariously good tip 🤣 I’m just about 34 weeks along now, and by sheer coincidence, have been wondering what to do with the box of puppy pads left over from when our dog was little! Totally stealing this idea haha
That alarm was such a panic mood for the baby.... I LOVE YOUR CONTENT BRITTANY! 28 weeks for me. keep it real honey bunny!
lol 😂 my nightmare
2 months Postpartum this week... LOVED this video, and very much agree with the list, ESPECIALLY SNACKS! Put👏Snacks👏EVERYWHERE👏 snacks by the bed. Snacks in the living room. Snacks in the nursery. For me I always find myself getting hungry or thirsty when I'm mid-breastfeeding (aka the most inconvenient time to go to the kitchen). Having snacks within reach no matter where you are is SO helpful. Also HUGE water bottle! Great video, thanks for sharing!❤️
YES HUGE WATER BOTTLE!
The absolute most accurate list if must haves I have seen . While I myself d idnt necessarily go by this to a t it's very fitting and honest. Although my first 2 months was literally comfy bra and adult diapers lol it was July it was hotter than hot here and didntbwanna freeze baby with the ac on high. I had issues with my supply, due to pumping and not latching and I researched everything lactation. I made the cookies, brownies, bites, aye oatmeal twice a day, drank so do so much water, talked to multiple lactation experts and the 2 things that made the most difference was the sunflower lecithin and the body armour drinks. Nothing else quite did it like these 2. Keep up the great videos
The ending the noise jumped me lol hope everything is ok! Thank you so much for the tips! The mattress pad and lactation pills are such a great idea I’m definitely going to invest in both those items and I would have never thought of the mattress pad but that’s definitely a must!! Hope you guess are doing amazing ❤️ 😊
Game changer, wish I had done it Sooner!
My heart broke for you when Arrow was woken up from her nap by that alarm 🚨😫
Love the food gift cards idea! Def a great gift
Perfect gift for new parents!
just had my beautiful baby 3 weeks ago and the frida mom post partum underwear was the best! and also their peri bottle.
I'm 3 months postpartum now
and my must have is actually a bottle heater (I'm not breastfeeding) it's saves me sooo much time aspeciall at night.
I can get some decent sleep (thankfully my baby is a really good night sleeper).
Brita water filter my sister got me one to stay hydrated an I honestly love it so much
I cant wait for my baby boy to be here, he should be here this week or next ❤
Ahh yay so excited for you!! 💕
@@brittanybalyn thank you, l love watching your videos, they're so empowering 🌼❤
I’m 21 weeks pregnant :) the mattress protector is something that didn’t even occur to me, thank you :)
Happy late Mother’s Day! I just had my baby on Wednesday! I am sitting here holding him and watching this! Thank you for all the videos!!
Happy 1st Mother’s Day to you!! 💞
@@brittanybalyn Thank you so very much Brittany!!
For breastfeeding- MyBestFrend pillow! I loved it so much more than the Boppy and still use at 7.5 months. Also having the diaper changer in the pack & Play setup in the living room for convenient diaper changes is a must. 100% on the snacks, an awesome big water bottle and Vitamin Water!
I'm 1 week postpartum and yes to the breast friend pillow...lifesaver for those of the night feeds
Happy 1st mother's day... You are doing a great job, Arrow is absolutely beautiful enjoy her they grow too fast
Aww Thank you!! 💞
Peri bottle with camomile and black tea to help cleaning and healing was the best advice I got from my midwife. Also nipple cream and nipple shield were very necessary for me. But my midwife also suggested to put cold quark (yes it is a type of yogurt/cheese) on my nipples to help heal them as I was bleeding. Oh my! It sounds silly but my mind was blown how helpful it was.
Food delivery gift cards is a brilliant idea!
I have no baby but just watching your videos is so much fun
Honestly, an Inhand vacuum saved my sanity hahaha firmly believe it needs to be on top on every baby registry 🤣
Im still only 2 weeks post-partum but one thing thats been a life saver for me was having a large bottle of alcohol free witch hazel! I drench my pads in that and squirt some down there using a spray bottle, it made a world of difference and lasts longer than those tucks pads. The tucks pads dried out way too fast on their own and like you mentioned, they dry out and stick to me or give me a wedgie and it was just not comfortable! After i used them all up i exclusively used the witch hazel on my pads and in a spray bottle for spraying directly down there and it worked better in my opinion, definitely worth it 👌
Yessss to all of this.
22,not pregnant, not wanting to be, but I still watch every video bcs Arrow is just toooo cute
Ah love!! 😘💕
Arrow was such a trooper through that drill! And yes, robes robes robes. Lived in robes and pjs for the first 2 months too!
Breastfeed on demand without exception will keep your milk supply up. It takes just one time a meal is skipped to down regulate and start a snowball effect of problems.
My top item that I would not have survived without was a pack n play. Background- I had a third degree tear and was not able to do anything without being in excruciating pain. Sitting down was a two person job, laying down was painful, and walking was an event. I would not have survived without having a pack n play set up in our living room. It is set up with a changing table station so I could stand and change the baby, and she could sleep in it as a crib when I either felt more comfortable sitting in our comfy arm chair on ice packs, or when I wanted to try to take a nap without newborn grunting noises next to me and have my husband watch her in the living room. I also end up have her take most of her naps in that so I can do things like cook or fold laundry nearby and keep my eye on her. It is definitely worth it to have a baby station like this set up in your living area. Side note: Use the peri bottle to rehydrate the tucks pads when removing them. Also, I preferred having both the hospital peri bottle for squirting when peeing, and I bought the frida mom peri bottle and used that to give everything a rinse afterwards since it has better reach. It was super helpful to have both so you don’t have to refill part way through going to the bathroom.
Omg i completely agree that having both peri bottles was a necessity for me, i also had really bad tears and so many stitches, it was impossible for me to be comfortable in any position, i wish i had gotten a pack and play for downstairs becauselike you said, just shifting positions was a while ordeal, much less doing things for the baby. Having both peri bottles helped not having to fill the bottle back up while trying to use the toilet. I used the hospital one while i peed and the frida mom peri bottle after to rinse off and refresh, i couldn't have survived without both. Another thing that was a life saver for me was having a large bottle of alcohol free witch hazel, i would drench my pads in that and squirt some down there when it was really bad, it made a world of difference and lasted longer than those tucks pads, they dried out way to fast on their own.
Super adorable
Your daughters so adorable 🥰
Am not pregnant and I don't have a child but I love your videos and I always used to watch even though there is nothing for me.... I love ur way of talking and really love Arrow😘
My massive advice is go for walks ! Get fresh air don’t sit inside all day everyday with a baby , it’s definitely a mood changed just walking going got a coffee etc , put that makeup on wash your hair do things that make you feel better even if at the time you cba you will feel better ( if you do that etc ) don’t think you have to change yourself completely just because your a mum :) , this is coming from a mum of 3 young kids x
My mama must have is burp cloths! I know that seems like a no brainer but in that diaper caddy (I also have in every room of my house 🤣) add burp cloths! I found the cloud island ones are easy to roll up and have. Spit it up is random and real hahah my son is 8 months and so times has an accidental spit up. But in the begging it’s helpful with to much let down spray (breastfeeding) and spit up.
Love you sisOo 😍 happy mother's day to you tOo....am also a mom of a baby boy .....First viewer today 😍 from Pakistan 😘
SO SO true about the food
I feel that I'm the odd woman out on this, but I HATED the dermoplast spray. Every time I sprayed it on it felt like I had just lit myself on fire. But to be fair, it made the pain I was experiencing from my third degree tear feel less terrible by comparison. Haha
It felt that way for me too! 4th degree tear. I kinda wonder if the tear is very swollen dermaplast spray must be a bad idea.
You guys could have had an allergy to it also ? I’m having a c section but I’m getting the spray to help with soreness for after my catheter comes out hope it’s helpful
Yay! The most badass mommy 💕
I just love that intro
18 weeks pregnant and single 😊I’m definitely scared
you got this!! and you are not alone
@@brittanybalyn thank you 🙏❤️😭
You got this mama !
Yes you got this!!!! You are most definitely not alone mama.
YES YES YES to food delivery gift cards!! I tell everyone to put this on their baby registry now. 6 months pp and I still have a hard time finding time to cook.
The best!! I still use grocery delivery or recipe boxes for dinner loads!
mattress protector!!!! not talked about enough lol such a must have
yes yes yes!
My absolute must have was small wash cloths (cheap terry cloth ones) from Ikea. I have a really strong milk flow and needed something to catch it with when baby let go of the breast. And I could fold them up and put them in my bra when I didn't have a pad.
I hated the tucks pads because they had the opposite effect for me! They were soaking wet and stayed soaking wet so it was like sitting in a wet pad the whole time🥴 That’s so crazy!
My absolute postpartum must have is the Frida mom disposable underwear. They made the gigantic hospital pads stay in place and I felt like I could actually move around better
Loveee u🤩😍🥰
I had to re-watch this like 3 times because I'm a work from home mom to an 8 week old. Lol The juggle is real! 😂
I feel this!! I wrote/linked everything in the description too incase things are too hectic to watch it all haha
@@brittanybalyn Thank you! 🥰
Brittany, I know in one of your product recommend videos, you linked the blackout curtains you have, but I can't find it now! 😫 Can you point me to the right video please? Love your content as a mom of a 5 month old!
Nobody’s gonna talk about the thumbnail? 🤣
Lol thank you!! It was a real moment and I screenshoted it - thought it fit perfectly!
I love you ❤️
YES! Thank you for mentioning the tucks pads. NOT FUN!! I quit using them after like day 3, I could not get over them sticking and also sliding where I didn’t need them.
Am I the only one who didn't need anything but pads after birth?
The mattress protector is a must have! And snacks by your bed.
