Post-partum kit

[roopertbear]

What would you put in a really luxurious post-partum kit for a new mother? I don't mean stuff for baby but genuinely lovely things that will come in very useful. I'm thinking along the lines of a gorgeous dressing gown and a few easy outfits that will be comfortable. What sort of things would you really loved to have had/would have made you feel miles better?

Wine and chocolate 🤣

Gorgeous dressing gown - wouldn’t have used it immediately due to heavy bleeding that went on for weeks, I’d rather pick my own loungewear too.

Paracetamol.
A few nice water bottles and a thermal tea mug. I distribute them around the house for easy hydration.
Good quality fruit and nut snacks. Everyone brings cheap (shit) chocolate. It's not helpful when you need to eat a lot of fibre to reset things digestive-wise post birth.

I made my SIL a batch of frozen chocolate chip cookie dough so she was never more than 10 mins away from a freshly baked cookie.

When my niece was born 20 years ago, I bought my sister two five-packs of black 'granny' knickers from Tu two sizes larger than she would normally wear - comfortable and could be dispised of without any guilt.

She still swears it was one of the best gifts she received (and no, she's not being nice to me just because I'm her sister!).

Dispised? Disposed of, obviously.
