Thank you to Soma for partnering with me on this post!

Vanishing Edge underwear which you guys recommended as the best underwear to wear for no lines when working out!

When packing your hospital bag, it’s hard to know what you will feel like wearing after baby. Regardless of the season or climate, one thing is for sure – you most definitely want to feel comfortable! Even as you adjust to life at home with your new little one, the need for comfort remains priority but the desire to feel confident and pulled together becomes a necessity too!

The postpartum journey can be hard on your self-image and sometimes feeling comfortable and confident in what we are wearing on the outside can help us to feel a little more “normal” on the inside. Putting together a postpartum outfit can be discouraging when nothing fits like it used to and your body is in the recovery phase from pregnancy and birth.

When I brought Finn home from the hospital, I chose to keep it simple with leggings, a nursing tank (shop all my favorites HERE), and cozy cardigan. Even though it was blazing hot in August, this is what felt comfortable to me and seemed practical! After a few weeks at home, I discovered Soma’s Cool Nights Pajamas and y’all, they are SO comfy and perfect for postpartum! I wish I had them during my stay at the hospital!

The Cool Nights fabric is exactly what it sounds like – fabric that ALWAYS feels cool against your skin. Say goodbye to the postpartum night sweats! The button-down top is functional for nursing baby throughout the day and night. I love how soft and stretchy the fabric feels as well as all the different colors and patterns. I went with this bold cranberry floral print which is sold out but I am loving this stripe set! While these are great for postpartum mamas, they would make the perfect gift for your mom, sister, bestie, mother-in-law, the list goes on and on!

Another item I can’t live without this time around postpartum include slippers! I am loving my wrap cardigan I snagged from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that doubles as a nursing cover,here is a dupe . Of course, I am living in athleisure anytime I have to leave the house and a few favorites include my Beyond Yoga maternity leggings, Onzie tank, and K. Deer Leggings!
