You’ve spent months preparing for your baby’s arrival. But in all the excitement, it’s easy to forget about the one person doing all the work: you.
Here at Happy Kat Australia, our focus is on supporting your journey through birth and into the tender first weeks of motherhood. We understand the mental load that comes with endless checklists and well-meaning (though often conflicting) advice. That's why we've created a place of calm preparation, with postpartum products chosen by mums, for mums.
Recovery Essentials for Every Mum
The first days after birth are a blur of healing, learning, and loving. To support you through this time, we’ve gathered the mum essentials after birth, providing real, tangible comfort when your body needs it most.
For a mum recovering from a C-section, a supportive belly wrap makes those first steps feel steadier. For another, the instant relief of a soothing peri bottle cleanses tender skin without pain.
We've thought of the small things that make a big difference:
- Postpartum Underwear: High-waisted, soft, and stretchy to sit comfortably over stitches and hold pads securely.
- Instant Perineal Cold Packs: Instant, cooling relief to reduce swelling and soothe soreness.
Explore our full range of Recovery Essentials to build your personalised care kit.
Hospital Bag & Delivery Must-Haves
Let’s make packing your hospital bag the simplest thing on your list. We’ve gathered the hospital bag essentials, so you can walk into your birthing experience feeling focused and fully prepared.
These are the tools and comforts that other mothers swear by, designed to empower you through POST PARTUM RECOVERY:
Disposable Postpartum Underwear (x3) – high-waisted, 100% cotton microfibre, soft and secure.
Perineum Wash Bottle – retractable periscope design for easy rinsing and cleansing.
Reusable Gel Cool & Warm Breast Pads – soothing hot/cold relief for swelling, mastitis, or blocked ducts.
Reusable Gel Cool & Warm Perineum Pads – flexible heating or cooling pad with washable cotton cover.
Instant Perineum Cooling Pads – single-use cold packs for immediate soothing relief.
Honouring Your Fourth Trimester
The fourth trimester is a sacred time of healing that calls for unhurried and gentle care. While every recovery is unique, we hope these reminders help you find small moments to care for yourself too:
- Rest Without Guilt. The chores can wait. Your body has done something extraordinary and needs deep rest to heal.
- Nourish to Replenish. Keep warm foods, simple snacks, and a water bottle close by to replenish your energy as you care for your baby.
- Accept Help. When someone offers to cook a meal or hold the baby so you can shower, your only job is to say "yes, thank you." Leaning on your community is a strength.
- Be Patient with Yourself. Healing isn’t a straight line. Be kind to your body and mind as you adjust to new rhythms and hormonal shifts.
From one mum to another, Happy Kat Australia is here to ease your recovery, lighten your load, and remind you that your comfort matters, too. Explore the collection today and take the first step towards a supported, empowered postpartum journey.
