Support Kits for Women Postpartum
Mama Care Co
There really is nothing like having a new baby around. There is also nothing like the recovery process after having that baby. Mama Care Co. is a company that wants to see Mamas succeed and thrive through all seasons, but we specialize in the postpartum season (after giving birth). No matter how many times a Mom gives birth, each time is unique and brings its own set of joys and challenges. Our goal is to give Moms the space, permission and tools they need to help them recover and get back on their feet. We offer a variety of unique and thoughtful postpartum recovery kits filled with products that real Moms actually use to help them recover physically and mentally. These make great gifts whether it's someone's first or fifth baby. Why not help that Mama (or yourself!) feel more prepared for this new phase of life? After all, we care so much for our babies, why not care for Mamas too?
