Perhaps a gift certificate to a cheapy store like ON to get some non-yoga pants "real"clothes to wear for the first few months after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1138514 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 14:58:53 +0000 SweetMamaM 1138514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh subscribing to this one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1138434 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 14:39:26 +0000 keiki_mama 1138434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Netflix, Hulu, iPad, cleaning service (not even joking), gift certificates for restaurants, laundry service, nursing bras and lots of tanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1138343 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:46:37 +0000 MrsH 1138343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1136682 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 15:52:14 +0000 JessKas 1136682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with a lot of PP re: yoga pants, netflix, nursing tanks. </p> <p>I also think a giftcard to a store you like would be useful. While yoga pants are AWESOME, it's nice to have 1-2 pairs of regular pants to wear when you go out, but your old pants may not fit for a while. Also, none of my old tops really fit/are nursing friendly, so I had to buy some new shirts as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1136637 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 15:40:48 +0000 yellowbird 1136637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: netflix!

There is NOTHING worth watching on at 2 am (and 3, and 5, and 6...)<br /> And I would kill for a shoe store gift certificate. My feet went up a full size, and since I gave birth in August, just noticed now when the weather turned and suddenly none of my closed toe shoes fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1136520 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 15:06:21 +0000 MamaBehr 1136520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depending on where you live, a nice pair of slippers :)<br /> A nice big water bottle (if you are nursing)<br /> A fantastic camera to snap awesome pictures<br /> Maybe a gift certificate to get out of the house and do something for you (manicure, haircut etc)<br /> DVD's of your favorite tv show to put on in during the middle of the night (though this is how I discovered how awesome Golden Girls is!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1136271 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:02:39 +0000 mrs. wagon 1136271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nursing tanks and a really lovely wrap cardigan or a zip up sweatshirt to wear over them. Great yoga pants. Netflix!!!!!!!!! maybe an ipad or tablet!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1136230 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:51:01 +0000 bushelandapeck 1136230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We loved the rock n play because it was super portable and LO slept great in it. I would also add nursing pads, lanolin, easy access shirts, and comfy pants to the list. I spent a lot of time on the couch the first few weeks so DVR shows, Iphone, and snacks were a must for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1136125 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:22:26 +0000 Smurfette 1136125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If BF nursing tanks, bras, yoga pants, loose t shirts. PJ that are easy to slip the straps down. I hated tshirts cause you had to life the whole thing up. </p> <p>Phone, DVR and a comfy couch </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1136119 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:22:00 +0000 mrsjyw 1136119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yoga pants, nursing tanks, nursing pads, bouncer (baby slept in it in the bathroom while showered when i was home alone!), and NETFLIXXXXXXXXX! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1136115 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:21:29 +0000 HLK208 1136115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Netflix, breast gel pads (they saved me), belly bandit, a pretty pair of yoga pants (like Lulu Lemon! Even though I've never owned a pair, I just dream about them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1136112 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:20:44 +0000 junebugmama 1136112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're planning on nursing, nursing tanks are great. It can be tough to figure out what your bra size is during the first month. Baby carrier as well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1136110 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:20:12 +0000 Adira 1136110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVED my Target Yoga pants - I LIVED in them (and still do). Also nursing tanks (if you're planning on nursing) because I pretty much just lives with the girls out in the open for the first 6+ weeks. Also, Netflix - I watched so much TV during maternity leave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-0-6-months-mommy-must-haves#post-1136102 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:16:59 +0000 MrsH 1136102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What items did you love postpartum?</p> <p>I'm due right after Christmas and hoping to put a couple items on my Christmas list.</p> <p>Whether it be clothing, entertainment, etc. what did you absolutely adore postpartum or while on maternity leave or after. </p>
