Question
What tools and gear does Shari Stamps recommend for new parents?
Answer
As a mom of 6 and a wellness practitioner, I've come across a variety of tools and gear that can be helpful for new parents. Some of my favorites include reusable postpartum undies that come with a hot or cold pack, and red light therapy for postpartum healing. These items are included in my article about what to put in your postpartum bathroom on navigatingparenthood.com.
I also recommend personalized help from local services like lactation consultants, craniosacral therapists, chiropractors, PTs, OTs, myofunctional therapists, and wellness practitioners. Each baby and parent are unique and need person-to-person care to fully evaluate everything going on and find useful solutions to support your unique needs.
Remember, what works for one family may not work for another, so it's important to find what works best for you and your baby. Do you have any specific concerns or areas you're interested in?
