New Mom Care Package for Postpartum Self-Care
Do you know someone who just became a new mom and you don’t know what to give her? You want to show her support and let her know that you care by giving her a New Mom Care Package. If you’re looking for inspiration, you’re definitely in the right place!
The very first few weeks for a new mom are exhausting and blurry. From adjusting life with a newborn, tending to her recovery and overall 4th trimester can be demanding enough to focus on herself.
Knowing what a New Mom Needs
A care package should include items that will make her transition to mom life easier and help in caring for herself. There are several items to add to the care kit for the new mom that will be handy as she recovers at home.
So why not treat her with practical items readily available at her disposal to aid her in adjusting to being a new parent and supporting her needs as a new mom.
Let this be all about her. Her health and wellbeing are important, and pampering her will show that she is important. She will feel loved and favored. Additionally, listen to her well and encourage her when times can be overwhelming. Be there for her as her village.

Here are the Care Items to include in her New Mom Survival Kit:
Feeding Time Support Gifts for Her
When a new mom is breastfeeding, there are going to be some non-beautiful moments involved. As she navigates this new experience, she’ll be needing these useful items.
I personally used these breastfeeding supplies when I had my daughter. Those days when leaky boobs happen, after hearing a baby cry somewhere around a store I’m shopping at. Yes, mama boobs respond to all baby cries. Or at dawn when I couldn’t move because of pain from being engorged.
These items are considered a must for a New Breastfeeding Mom Kit.
Lansinoh TheraPearl Breast Therapy Pack
Mom can use these Double Duty Therapy Pack when she needs them. Her breastfeeding journey has just begun, and it can be challenging, especially for a first-time mom.
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter
When discomfort in her breastfeeding occurs, this nipple cream can help soothe the dry, cracked nipples.
New moms can have letdowns any time of the day.
She can use this inside her nursing bras to keep her dry and comfortable.
Nourishment Supply while caring for her Newborn
Nourishing a newborn can make a Mama starving and thirsty. These supplies can support her in any way she requires boosting her energy or just simply enjoying with a warm cup of tea.
Hydration is important for New Moms, especially if she’s breastfeeding her baby. As she goes through her day, she can carry this 64oz water bottle for easy thirst-quenching.
This bottle is 100% BPA, toxin-free, and eco-friendly.
She can sip this tea to aid in her lactation, and a warm cup of tea helps her relax as well.
Before she drinks this tea, make sure she checks with her doctor/lactation consultant first.
Pamper Gifts for the New Mom
There is a tremendous change to a New Mom’s life now. She will ultimately focus on the well-being of her newborn. However, amidst the time when exhaustion kicks in, she’ll also be needing time for herself.
Giving some care items to revamp her self-care is thoughtful.
Include this luxurious body cream in her new mom care package. Not only will she enjoy this gift, but it will also remind her that taking care of herself is essential.
The Philosophy brand carries several scents and ingredients, including aloe, vitamin E, and natural extracts.
This gift can make her lips feel soft and crack-free. She may not have the time to do a lip scrub twice a week, so give her this to add to her daily lip care.
For Entertainment as part of New Mom Care Package
Passing the time during a midnight feeding or an afternoon quiet time. She’ll love to have these two.
She can listen to her favorite music or audibles while rocking her newborn to sleep. This will be a go-to gadget for her entertainment.
New Mom Wears included in Care Kit
Fashion and comfort need not be compromised when she decides to breastfeed her baby. One thing in a mama’s mind when buying new tops – is it breastfeeding-friendly?
Easy access for nursing her newborn is a plus for Moms. New moms can feel awkward feeding their newborns out in public.
This top can help her be discreet when she prefers. The good thing about this is it’s comfy and breathable to wear.
A new mom will need good support for her belly and hips after pregnancy. This wrap will do just that.
If she had a c-section, this wrap can be particularly helpful in moving around the house.
The Not-Talked-About Items
These items speak for themselves. It’s good to have them around the bathroom for some quick help of relief.
This is a life-saver for moms who delivered naturally. New Mom probably received a standard peri-bottle from the hospital where she gave birth. This one has an ergonomic design for easy use.
Ready-to-Gift Care Package for New Moms:
These pre-made boxes are already packed with essentials for moms. Easy, grab and go gifts for her.
Postpartum recovery can be difficult. Moms can be leaky, in pain and discomfort. Give this essential kit to aid in her recovery after birth.
This kit is packed with essentials for promoting wellness and recovery for New Moms. Check out the items in this postpartum self-care kit, which are tailored to meet her needs.
There you have it! Gifts that are thoughtful and practical for New Moms to use. Present them in this cute basket with a big bow! I’m sure she’ll love them all!
Wrapping it all up!
With these inspirational gift ideas, I’m hoping you now have an idea of what you’re going to include in the care package for the newest mom in your circle. Include a Congratulatory Card for Her and Her Spouse. Wish her love and let her know you are there to support her in any way you can.
P.S. Before you visit the mom and her newborn, make sure it’s a convenient time for them. Keep the visit short. Ask her what you can take off her plate today. You can also do a quick drop-off of the package on her porch if by any chance they’re on baby/mommy lockdown.
