1. Booby Trapped

Your babe goes from sweetly innocent, sleeping like a crinkled cherub, to nursing with piranha-like passion. You love your little Jaws, but can’t help but wince every time your baby feeds.  Nipstick to the rescue! Developed by The Spoiled Mama, the Nipstick is a 100% organic, plant-based butter that you apply from the tube. Most nipple ointments contain lanolin, derived from sheepskin, and are sticky and hard to spread. Nipstick uses rich, natural moisturizers like olive oil, cocoa butter and shea butter and infuses them with healing herbs like calendula and plaintain. It melts on contact, doesn’t need to be washed off before nursing, and is $16.

2. A Bummed Bum

There’s a reason that donut pillows for sitting were developed. It’s called three hours of pushing and the “ring of fire.” Don’t suffer through the inflammation and irritation of hemorrhoids and stitches without help. Earth Mama Angel Baby makes an extensive line of all-natural products for moms and moms-to-be, but we like the Bottom Balm and Bottom Spray, $15 each, the best.  They soothe with astringent witch hazel, anti-bacterial lavender and cooling peppermint essential oils.

3. Belly Blues

While stretch marks may be inevitable for some, it’s a small price to pay for an amazing reward. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do your darnedest to get rid of those suckers! Bella B Tummy Honey Cream helps fade existing stretch marks, up to 50%, with a formula of plant extracts and an emollient formula free of parabens, petroleum and preservatives. We like its mild scent and price - $20.
