Regardless, all mothers are all imagining and hoping for an easy postpartum recovery. But, sometimes certain complications can occur, urging your doctors to opt for a c-section birth, also called a cesarean or an abdominal birth.

But, sometimes certain complications can occur, urging your doctors to opt for a c-section birth, also called a cesarean or an abdominal birth.
Why is this the best box for your hospital bag
For instances like these, mothers must keep themselves well read and informed about all the postpartum products they would need post a c-section birth. Most of the postpartum products required by c-section and abdominal birth mothers are present in our box.
Below is a list of all the postpartum essentials/hospital bag essentials we offer in our c-section box:
Disposable underwear (x6) - A welcome change from those scratchy netted hospital underwear's - elastic band for easy use - absorbs vaginal fluids. The underwear is boxer short, soft and is easy on your stitches.
Postpartum maternity pads (x10) - For that heavy postpartum flow - wider, thicker, and better than normal sanitary napkins
Postpartum belt (x1) - Support to the spine and body postpartum - speeds up the healing process and helps with holding the c-section stitches in place.
Mattress shield pads (x6) - You don’t have to worry about staining your pretty bed sheets, just pop these under and avoid washing them daily.
Breast warm/cold compress (x1 pair) - Some ‘me time’ for mommy - Help soothe and hydrate your breasts, increase milk flow, and help with mastitis (cold compresses).
Soothing nip balm (x1) - A nip balm for your boobs - provides hydration, relieves pain, and chapped skin.
Washing bottle (x1) - A squirt bottle to wash out your perineum properly without having to put pressure on your stitches.

How to use:
Disposable underwear - Do we really need to teach you to slide on underwear? Kidding, be careful around the stitches.
The disposable maternity pads need only the stick on removed and pasted; remove when you feel full.
Postpartum belt - Simply slide on the belt and secure the tabs, do not make it too snug to fit.
The mattress shield pads can be placed onto the bedding before you sleep.
Warm and cold compresses - Cold compresses to be stuck in the freezer and warm to be heated through boiling water or a microwave (put it in for 15-20 seconds). Best used before feeding sessions.
The nip balm can be used before and after feeding sessions so as to soothe the skin (its natural, so it’s okay for your baby to ingest)
Washing bottle to be used when using the washroom to ease sting.
Slide on the nipple shield to your breast area, ensure the fit is snug. Shift till comfortable.
Compression socks to be used before and after pregnancy both.
You’ve put on a face mask before, have you? Well, this is no different. Kick back with some music, or a book, slide on the masks and keep for 15-20 minutes. Clean the skin thoroughly before you feed the baby after the use of this product.
