Uplifting moms, one box at a time

My postpartum experience was like that of the other moms I know: a rude awakening. I struggled to let my body heal while learning how to care for my newborn who needed so much from me every waking minute. Through all the stress, anxiety, and sleep deprivation, I had a hard time figuring out what I needed to feel whole again, both physically and emotionally. Thankfully, a close friend, who had given birth a year before, had come to me while I was still 7 months pregnant. She sat me down with a box filled with products and walked me through how each one had helped her. Once I was postpartum, what she shared proved to be invaluable. 

When my daughter was 4 months old, a friend of mine, also a first-time mom, had her baby shower. I gifted her something from her registry but realized she would need much more once the baby arrived. I wanted to give her a gift as impactful as the one my friend had given me. This was the first postpartum care box I ever put together. I included a hand-written letter to her to share what each item was for and to express that she had my support - even if it was for a 2 AM text when her son would not stop crying. After he was born, she expressed her gratitude for how much the box had helped her. I was so moved at having helped this one mom have a better postpartum experience, that I vowed to create a box for every new mom I knew when the time came. 

After creating the box for 3 other moms and receiving the same feedback from them all, I realized there was an opportunity for me to do the same for moms I didn’t know too. I wanted to reach out and help every mom through her postpartum recovery. And so, Meant4Mom was born.

Warmly,
