New Mum Recovery Kit: Why We Created It (and Why It Matters)

When I had my first baby (Harriet), I thought I knew what support would look like. I imagined warm meals, folded laundry, and someone quietly helping in the background while I got some rest. But the reality was very different.

Well-meaning visitors came by to “help,” but mostly wanted to hold the baby.

Their untimed visits disrupted our fragile routine. Harriet wouldn’t sleep, I missed mothers’ group, and I was running on fumes. Groceries, laundry, and basic survival felt out of reach.

Everyone said, “Let me know if you need anything,” but what I really needed was practical support - not just company.

That experience inspired the New Mum Recovery Kit: a care package designed to offer real help, comfort, and calm during those chaotic and beautiful early weeks of motherhood.

This isn’t just a thoughtful gift. It’s a toolkit for recovery, created to give new mums space to breathe, reset, and feel genuinely supported.

What’s Inside

Boob Balm by Boobs & Bubs Co.
A natural, vegan, Australian-made balm to soothe sore, sensitive skin during nursing.

The Chocolate Society – Tea and Biscuit Chocolate Block (80g)
Because sometimes, chocolate is the only luxury you’ll get all day.

‘Zen Studio’ Soy Candle
A grounding scent of soft lavender, warm sandalwood, and cedarwood with a hint of amber. Calms the chaos and sets the tone for slow, gentle evenings.

Nurtur Nursing Herbal Tea Bags
A caffeine-free, nurturing blend to support lactation and promote calm as part of a soothing daily ritual.

Gifted + Prezzee Smart eGift Card
Because even popping out to the shops can feel impossible. Whether it’s groceries, takeaway, nappies, or a well-earned massage, this is help where and when it’s needed most and can be delivered to your door.

Thoughtful by Design. Inclusive by Nature.

Not every new mum is nursing, and not all parents identify with the same labels. That’s why we offer simple swaps: if the recipient isn’t breastfeeding, we’ll happily replace the Boob Balm with a nourishing Body Oil, and the Nursing Tea with a calming herbal alternative. Just leave us a note at checkout.

Motherhood doesn’t come with a manual—but it should come with backup.

The New Mum Recovery Kit is that backup. Practical. Personal. Full of heart.

Gifted. Thoughtful by design. Helpful by nature.
