Enter the homeopathic kit for postpartum and newborns—a gentle, natural, and empowering way to support you and your baby through every twist and turn of this incredible adventure.

Why Choose a Homeopathic Kit for Postpartum & Newborns?

Homeopathy is celebrated for its safety, gentleness, and holistic support, making it a perfect companion for expectant and new mothers. Unlike conventional medications, homeopathic remedies are non-toxic and free of side effects, so you can use them without worry for yourself or your baby. A well-stocked homeopathic kit puts natural solutions at your fingertips for everything from labor pains and emotional swings to newborn colic and breastfeeding challenges. It’s like having a wise, nurturing friend in your diaper bag who knows just what you need, right when you need it.

“As a first-time mom, I didn’t know what to expect when it came to postpartum recovery and taking care of a newborn. The Remedies for Postpartum and Newborns Kit was the best help for all the unexpected challenges that come with motherhood. Whether it was teething, gas pains, or thrush, my baby was well taken care of. And for me-whether I was dealing with low milk supply, clogged ducts, or the baby blues-I felt supported too.

I loved being able to care for myself and my daughter naturally, without immediately feeling pressured to run to the doctor. I’ll definitely be restocking my kit by the time my son is born!”

Aconite 200c is your go-to for shock or sudden fright, whether emotional or physical. I always recommend it for both mother and baby as soon as possible after birth. I know I needed it! No newborn has ever told me that birth is a shock to their system, but I think it is safe to assume.
Argentum Nitricum 30c is a lifesaver for nighttime anxiety and the jitters that can come with late-night caregiving.
Arnica 200c is famous for bruised soreness and bleeding—think of it right after birth, whether vaginal or cesarean.
Belladonna 30c is ideal for mastitis that comes on suddenly with heat, redness, and throbbing pain.
Bellis Perennis 200c goes deeper than Arnica, helping with deep bruising, and is an excellent uterine and bladder tonic after birth.
Bryonia 30c is helpful for pain that worsens with movement, constipation, or mastitis with pale swelling.
Borax 30c is a must for thrush, whether it’s in your baby’s mouth or the diaper area.
Calcarea Carbonica 30c is great for sweaty babies, baby snuffles, or when mom feels exhausted and slow to recover.
Calendula 30c supports tissue healing, making it perfect for umbilical healing and perineal tears.
Chamomilla 30c is wonderful for ear infections, teething, or when pain in labor feels unbearable.
Chelidonium 30c is the remedy of choice for newborn jaundice. In a matter of one dose, my grandson’s skin turned from slightly yellow to newborn pink.
China 30c helps rebuild strength after blood loss or exhaustion from delivery.
Colocynthis 30c and Dioscorea 30c both address colic and cramping pains, whether in mom or baby.
Hypericum 200c is the remedy for nerve pain, especially after perineal trauma or for pain in sensitive areas.
Ignatia 200c is a classic for crying spells and postpartum depression, especially when emotions feel overwhelming. Remember, the hormonal downshift after giving birth is like taking 100 birth control pills one day and none the next. It is a massive change.

Kali Muriaticum 30c is helpful for earaches and thick white discharges.
Ledum 30c is handy for puncture wounds, swelling, or insect bites.
Magnesia Phosphorica 30c is your friend for cramping, menstrual pain, or afterpains.
Nitric Acid 30c soothes painful fissures or hemorrhoids that can follow childbirth, also for exhaustion and irritability from sleepless nights.
Phosphoric Acid 30c helps with emotional exhaustion, grief, or mental fatigue.
Phytolacca 30c is another mastitis remedy, especially when there are hard, painful lumps during breastfeeding.
Pulsatilla 200c is for weepiness, postpartum depression, and hormonal mood swings. After my babies were born, I had one day where I spent the whole day crying. After listening and letting me cry, my beloved husband would bring me Pulsatilla. Have I mentioned he’s a good man?
Secale 30c is used if you had Pitocin and it causes severe afterbirth pains. Also helpful in cases of low milk supply.
Staphysagria 30c is excellent for anger, wound care, and surgical recovery (such as after a cesarean).

How to Use Your Homeopathic Kit

Match the Remedy to the Symptom: Choose the remedy that most closely matches your current symptoms—this is the heart of homeopathy’s effectiveness.
Dosing: For acute needs, remedies are usually taken every 30 minutes to a few hours, and stopped once improvement is seen. I like to dissolve the pellets in water and give 3-5 drops as a dose.
Safe for All: Remedies are safe for both mother and baby, and can be used alongside other treatments if needed.

“When I was nearing the end of my pregnancy, my mom gifted me a Remedies for Postpartum and Newborns Kit she had put together. I can honestly say it was one of the most crucial tools I had during that season. From easing the emotional intensity of thoses final weeks to supporting my body through labor recovery and the early postpartum days, the remedies became a source of both comfort and healing.

What makes this kit so special is how intentionally it’s crafted-not just for physical needs like afterbirth discomfort, engorgement, or sleep troubles, but also for the emotional ups and downs that naturally come with becoming a mother. Even now, long after those early baby days, I still turn to the kit whenever I’m feeling depleted or in need of support. It’s like having my mom’s care and wisdome in a little box.

If you’re expecting or supporting someone who is, I can’t recommend this kit enough. It’s a beautiful, empowering resource for any season of motherhood.”

Make One for Yourself or As a Gift

When my daughters started their journey into motherhood, I wanted to give them everything! And while I knitted myself cross-eyed, I also wanted to give them practical help during that very trying season of postpartum. I have never minded the middle-of-the-night phone calls, but I wanted them to have the remedies at hand when they called.

I created this kit for them. If you make this kit for yourself or a loved one, you can purchase the booklet to download HERE. I printed it on 4×6 index cards and spiral-bound them together. The download includes a cover page for the booklet, a page to be taped or glued to the top of the box, and a chart to be taped or glued to the inside of the box. I used THIS box from Amazon. I purchased all the remedies separately and put them inside the box. Actually, I purchased the remedies and used a different bottle so the lids matched. But, I’m extra like that.
