Your 'Mum Registry' Starts Here

It will come as a surprise to no one that we are pro baby gift registry. Getting all the things you need and nothing you don’t? BIG YES from us. But while the baby gift registry is useful, and a right of passage for many first time parents, there’s something distinctly lacking in the list — a big mother-shaped hole that we think is missing from the picture. As much as 75% of soon-to-be parents create baby gift registries, each averages 120 items, of which, usually none are for a mother's recovery or nursing journey. This is slowly changing. In 2022 birth recovery products became more present on registries (up 44 percent from 2020), breast pumps (up 25 percent) and nursing products (up 6 percent), and as the cost of living rises, there is a shift for more practical essentials, rather than nice-to-haves, being added to the registry, which recovery items actually are, and another teddy bear is not.

We think it’s about time the "Mum Registry" entered the chat. That is, all the things a woman needs in her late pregnancy and her postpartum journey to make her life, and her body, more comfortable in this transition into motherhood. It’s 2024, it’s time to normalise asking for the help, and caring for the person that does the caring (and carrying, and birthing!) — and we’re here to help you do just that. Behold, the ultimate mum registry for those late achy, tired last weeks of pregnancy, and early postpartum.

Essentials for Postpartum

Everything you need for the leaky, achy, sleepy, beautiful chaos that is your postpartum — and that we know will make it that much better.

Qiara Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Probiotic

These unassuming pouches are actually one of the keys to staving off and providing relief from mastitis — and are a cult product with mother’s Australia-wide because of it. The secret is in the new probiotic which was originally isolated from healthy human breast milk, which helps to maintain healthy mircoflora in breast milk. You can take it from pre-conception, but it is especially essential in the first weeks post-birth while your supply is regulating.

Seamless, stretchy and breathable, they are really the best friend your bits can have in this period.

Mumma Milla Leakproof Bandeau Bralette

As beautiful as breastfeeding can be, it’s also messy, sticky, and decidedly unsexy. And, while we can’t help with flow, we can help you feel a little more “you” and a little less like a milky production line with a feminine (and functional!) maternity bra. With built-in, non-removable leakproof layers and adjustable spaghetti straps that can be pulled up and down (no annoying clips), it was truly designed to make breastfeeding easier. Oh, and it’s so buttery-soft and comfortable it’ll probably be your favourite bra well beyond postpartum too.

Bare Mum Ergonomic Perineal C-Section and Wash Bottle

To the uninitiated, this may look like some weird baby contraption but those who know, refer to it only as “lifesaver”. Designed with an angled, retractable neck, and a squeezy ergonomic design, it gently cleanses the sensitive perineum area, which, tbh was a region you may not have paid attention to pre-birth, but post-birth makes itself very known.
