I prepared this list together with my partner. Some of these we prepared before the arrival of our baby, and some we found out on the go. We both swear by these post-partum necessities. The Support System is the most crucial. Only let people visit if they are actually going to help, either by bringing a nice & nourishing meal or doing a load of laundry & cleaning the loo. You don’t need someone to hold your baby while doing this. You need time to enjoy and rest, a certified doula and the people who love you will understand.
