OB-GYN Curated Resource

Products I often suggest
to my patients.

Every week, patients ask me what to buy for pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and their newborn. This is my answer — a short, selective list based on what I discuss most in practice.

```
01  Pregnancy
Products that address common discomforts and practical needs during pregnancy. Not every item will be relevant to every person or pregnancy. Consult your OB before use.
Earth Mama Belly Butter
Skin Care
Earth Mama Belly Butter

Organic shea butter balm formulated to support skin elasticity during pregnancy. Free from synthetic fragrances — a safe choice throughout all trimesters.

Leachco
Coming Soon
Sleep & Comfort
Snoogle Pregnancy Pillow

A full-length C-shaped pillow that supports the back, belly, and hips simultaneously. Many patients find it useful earlier than anticipated.

Sea-Band
Coming Soon
Nausea
Acupressure Wristbands

A non-pharmacologic option for first-trimester nausea. Low-risk and low-cost — a reasonable first option to try before escalating.

Belly Bandit
Coming Soon
Pelvic & Back Support
Upsie Belly Band

A supportive band that may help reduce pelvic and lower back discomfort during daily activity in the second and third trimesters.

Comrad
Coming Soon
Circulation
Compression Socks

Graduated compression socks frequently recommended to support circulation and manage lower extremity swelling, particularly in the third trimester.

Erin Condren
Coming Soon
Appointment Prep
Pregnancy Journal

Keeping organized notes helps patients make better use of prenatal visit time. Useful for patients who prefer to arrive with specific questions ready.

02  Postpartum Recovery
Items I discuss most often in the early postpartum period. Recovery varies by delivery type and individual. Contact your provider promptly with any concerns.
Earth Mama Herbal Perineal Spray
Perineal Comfort
Earth Mama Herbal Perineal Spray

A soothing herbal spray with organic calendula and witch hazel for postpartum perineal comfort. Not a treatment for complications — contact your provider if symptoms worsen.

Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter
Breastfeeding
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter

A lanolin-free, organic nipple cream safe for mother and baby. Does not require removal before nursing. Persistent nipple pain should be evaluated for latch issues.

Frida Mom
Coming Soon
Perineal Hygiene
Peri Bottle

The angled design makes postpartum perineal hygiene considerably easier than a standard bottle. Among the first items I mention for hospital bag preparation.

Belly Bandit
Coming Soon
Abdominal Support
B.F.F. Postpartum Wrap

Adjustable abdominal binder for support and comfort following vaginal or cesarean delivery. Discuss fit and appropriateness with your provider post-cesarean.

Kindred Bravely
Coming Soon
Nursing
Nursing Bra

Sizing that accommodates postpartum body changes. A brand I mention when patients ask. Fit varies by individual — comfort should take priority.

Frida Mom
Coming Soon
Sitz Bath
Sitz Bath Soak

Standard postpartum comfort measure to soothe perineal discomfort. Having it ready before discharge is worth considering for vaginal deliveries.

03  Newborn & Early Baby
Practical essentials for the first weeks with a newborn. Intentionally short. Newborn care decisions should be guided by your pediatrician.
Earth Mama Organic Baby Lotion
Skin Care
Earth Mama Organic Baby Lotion

Certified organic lotion formulated for newborn skin. Free from synthetic fragrance, parabens, and harsh chemicals — gentle enough for daily use from birth.

Haakaa
Coming Soon
Feeding
Silicone Breast Pump

Passively collects milk by suction during nursing. No power or assembly required — a practical addition in the early weeks alongside a full-size pump.

SNOO
Coming Soon
Sleep
Smart Sleeper Bassinet

Uses responsive motion and white noise aligned with AAP safe sleep guidelines. Many families report meaningful improvement in infant sleep in early months.

Aquaphor
Coming Soon
Skin Care
Baby Healing Ointment

Petrolatum-based barrier ointment broadly used in clinical practice for diaper rash. Well-tolerated and widely recommended for routine diaper changes.

Owlet
Coming Soon
Monitoring
Dream Sock Monitor

Tracks heart rate and oxygen during sleep. A consumer wellness device — not a substitute for safe sleep practices. Some families find it useful for peace of mind.

HALO
Coming Soon
Safe Sleep
SleepSack Swaddle

Wearable swaddle that reduces loose bedding risk while maintaining the calming effect of swaddling. Hip-healthy design aligned with AAP safe sleep guidance.

About This Site

A resource for common
patient questions.

I'm an OB-GYN at Rodeo Women's Health, affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. One of the most consistent observations I've made in practice is that patients have a great many product questions.

What pillow helps with sleep in the third trimester. What to bring to the hospital. What to do about perineal soreness once you're home. These questions come up regularly, often in the last few minutes of an appointment.

This site is my attempt to provide a more grounded answer than a general internet search. The list is intentionally short — everything here is something I discuss regularly in practice and feel comfortable suggesting as a general option.
