It is a comfortable, seam free maternity/nursing bra which adjusts to changing body sizes. You just need to choose your chest size when you add mybirthbox to your basket.
We have chosen it in black because we listened to our new mums and although you won’t feel at your most glamorous in these immediate post birth days, the black will help to hide the leaks and patches and be a little extra comfort to you.

Lansinoh nipple cream
Sore nipples are very common during breastfeeding and can often be a result of the uncomfortable positioning of your baby at the breast. Whilst it is vital to address the cause of this, Lansinoh’s HPA Lanolin is proven to help soothe and protect sore cracked nipples. It’s all natural and safe for your baby to ingest and we suggest you use the cream with breast pads to stop patches forming on your top.
There are some things money can’t buy, but fortunately for your unfortunate nipples in those early weeks, there is Lansinoh HPA® Lanolin. We can’t recommend this highly enough. If you don’t believe us, ask any new mum, read anything online, you want this in your birth box.
HPA® Lanolin, 40ml tubeLansinoh HPA Lanolin is composed of an ultra-purified grade of lanolin which has been refined using a unique process, making it the safest and purest product of its kind. 100 per cent natural without any preservatives or additives, it is naturally hypoallergenic. It is also the only lanolin product to have received the British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval.
Soften a pea-sized amount between fingers and apply to the entire nipple area after feeding or other problem area(s) as needed. Re-apply as often as necessary.

High waist black briefs x3
Whatever type of birth you have, there is unlikely to be a time in your life when you are happier to wear some large comfy pants to cover you up to your belly button (especially C-sections) and make you feel fitted and secure. It’s also highly likely that you’ll seek comfort in and continue to wear them for the next few weeks, long after those disposable ones were binned.
Them being black is also very important.
So just pick your size when you add mybirthbox to your basket.

Lansinoh breast pads x 24
There are a wide range of breast pads on the market, but the general consensus across our new mums was that Lansinoh breast pads are the best. They’re soft, secure, absorbent and generally “performed” a little better than others. Reassuringly this seems to be the consensus across mumsnet.com contributors, mama-milk.co.uk and breastfeedingneeds.com.
Only the best for your birth box.
Pack of 24 Disposable Nursing PadsLansinoh’s Disposable Nursing Pads are designed to be ultra-thin but also super-absorbent.The soft, stay-dry lining draws breast milk away from the skin and into the core of the pad where it is absorbed by a special honeycomb polymer to prevent leakage, while the breathable waterproof outer layer keeps your clothes dry.Two non-slip adhesive tapes keep the pad in place, and the contour creates a natural fit that will not show under clothing. What is more, this is the only polymer-style breast pad that keeps its shape when wet.Each pad comes individually wrapped for convenience and hygiene.

Lavender oil
It’s a wonderful natural therapy that is known to help calm you and we suggest putting a few drops in your bath or burning over a candle to create a calming atmosphere during the early stages of labour if you’re allowed, or if you’re planning a home birth. Massaging with well diluted lavender oil during labour has also been known to strengthen contractions.
If you’re one of the 1 in 4 British women whose labour concludes with a C-section, lavender oil can also be massaged into the scar when you are comfortable to do so and help break down the scar tissue.
100% Lavender oil extract.
Arnica 30c Pillules
We believe anything that gives your body a little extra help to heal can’t be bad.
The British Homeopathic society recommend 1 dose is take at the start of labour and another during, or just before delivery. Then 1 dose 3 times a day for the next 3 days following the birth.Press base twice to release two pillules into cap. Unscrew cap and without touching pillules tip them into mouth. Pillules to be sucked or chewed.
Each pillule contains 30c Arnica Montana. Also contains lactose and sucrose.

The handy little tube can also go in your nappy bag for the weeks that follow.

Birthbox
My 'Birth Box' was an absolute godsend. After leaving everything until the last minute I had all of my hospital essentials delivered in a beautiful box, saving me a two day shuffle around the shops with my huge bump in tow!

My best friend
My best friend got me a birthbox a few weeks before I was due - it was so useful once my baby came. I used all of the products and it saved me having to buy everything individually.

episiotomy.
Big pants are a must after birth and these ones were great! They fitted well and were comfortable even after my episiotomy. They worked well with the maternity towels which were really comfortable and stayed in place.
