Earth Mama Organics Herbal Sitz Bath

(V-Kit and Non-Breastfeeding Kit only)

Take care “down there” with herbal compresses filled with organic herbs traditionally used to soothe and comfort “down there” during pregnancy or after childbirth. Packed in easy-to-use, individual herbal sachets, each one is perfect for one use. The compresses can be cooled and gently “tucked” to help ease those pretty places, or use the brewed infusion to make postpartum padsicles or use as a sitz bath. Which is kind of like making tea for your nethers. Which is a totally lovely and perfectly polite thing to do.

A QUICK HOW-TO

Lay herbal pad in a shallow bowl and cover with boiling water. Steep for approx. 5 min., and let cool. Very gently drain extra liquid from pad, leaving it moist but not soaking. Be gentle and don’t squeeze! The herbal pads are fragile and can burst. Cool in the fridge and gently apply moist pad directly to perineum. Ahhhhhhh.

But wait! Postpartum padsicles are a thing, and they’re great: get crafty and use the healing herbally goodness in another way. Save the remaining liquid, pour onto a regular postpartum pad, and freeze it for a clever little perineal ice pack. Trust us – it’s one of life’s secret little wins.

PQ Tip: We recommend checking with your doctor or midwife before using this product if you have had a C- section or vaginal tearing. If you haven’t had either, we recommend using after your first postpartum poop.

Booby Boons Lactation Cookies

(V-Kit and C-section kit only)

They are wheat-free, soy-free, non-GMO and made with the purest of ingredients. made with a proprietary blend of natural, non-herbal galactagogues proven to increase breast milk supply naturally and safely.

Pea in a Pod Nipple Butter

(V-Kit and C-Section Kit only)

This nipple butter is a rich, natural ointment made with organic Cocoa, Shea & Mango butters, as well as healing lanolin- the best ingredient to soothe, nourish and moisturize sore and cracked nipples. Safe for both nursing mamas and babies, a little of our butter will go a very long way.

PQ Tip: Apply sparingly to nipples as needed after nursing. May be used prior to birth if nipples become dry or flaky. While many mamas like to wipe the area clean prior to nursing, our butter is safe and will absorb quickly into the skin after application and so there should be none left on the skin the next time your wee babe needs a snack!

PQ Tip: When my baby began teething, she would get rashes underneath her chin from drooling so much. I would apply this nipple butter under her chin and the rash and dryness would go away. It added a barrier on her chin against the saliva.

Earth Mama Organics No More Milk Tea 

(In Non-Breastfeeding Box only)

Sometimes, a soothing cup of tea is an act of kindness. Whether from weaning or baby loss, excess or unwanted breast milk can intensify discomfort during an emotional time and cause sore, aching, engorged breasts. Comforting Organic No More Milk Tea is formulated with anti-galactagogue herbs including sage, peppermint and parsley, traditionally used to help reduce the production of breast milk during when it is no longer desired. Bonus: a tangy note in the form of Hibiscus flower.

Organic No More Milk Tea is NOT FOR USE DURING PREGNANCY. Many breast milk reducing herbs should be avoided during pregnancy except in small, culinary amounts.
