Postpartum Self Care

weeThink

Don't be fooled by those perfectly filtered Instagram photos of new moms snuggling their newborns. Behind the scenes, there's a lot of not-so-glamorous stuff going on—from leaky boobs to achy everything. Bringing a baby into the world is a magical experience, but cracked nipples, postpartum hemorrhoids, and sore C-section incisions are quite the opposite.

After experiencing unexpected postpartum struggles, postpartum doula Ruth Martin-Gordon created Coddle. This all-natural line of postpartum self-care products provides much-needed soothing, healing, and relief after delivery. Made from organic and USDA certified organic ingredients, products are vegan, gluten-free, and contain simple ingredients you can actually pronounce. From Nipple Balm to Massage Oil, Sitz Bath to Mother’s Milk Tea, items can be ordered a la carte or all together in the Postpartum Self-Care Box. (Know any expecting mamas? This kit is the gift that keeps on giving.)

This awesome minority and woman owned company is committed to zero-waste, so products come in reusable food-grade glass jars. Aside from self-care essentials, Coddle offers tons of educational resources to help parents navigate life with a baby. Adjusting to your “new normal” may feel hard… but Coddle is here to make caring for yourself a lot easier.
