Fajas after baby

Okay, let’s be real for a second—having a baby does a number on your body. You go through nine months of stretching, carrying, and aching, and then once baby arrives, your body feels like it’s been hit by a truck (in the most beautiful way possible, of course). Postpartum recovery is not easy, and if you’re anything like me, you’re looking for anything that makes the process a little smoother.

Fajas

If you’ve never heard of one, it’s basically a postpartum girdle or compression garment, and let me just say… it’s a total game-changer. Here’s why I swear by them:

1. They Hold Everything Together

After birth, your stomach muscles feel weak and your whole midsection just feels… off. When I wore a faja, it was like my body finally had the support it was craving. Simple things like walking around, picking up the baby, or even sitting up in bed were so much easier.

2. Your Back Will Thank You

Between breastfeeding, carrying the baby, and just being exhausted, my posture was horrible, and my back hurt constantly. A faja actually helped me stand straighter and eased some of that lower back pain. It’s like a little reminder to stop slouching.

3. Bye-Bye Swelling

Nobody really talks about how swollen you get after having a baby. I felt puffy and uncomfortable for weeks. Wearing a faja helped with circulation and really did cut down on the swelling for me.

4. Instant Confidence Boost

Postpartum bodies are amazing, but they’re also different—and it can take time to feel good in your own skin again. When I wore a faja, my clothes fit better, I looked smoother under my outfits, and honestly… I just felt more confident walking around. And that little mental boost goes a long way.

5. If You Had a C-Section…

I didn’t realize how helpful a faja could be after a C-section until I saw other moms talk about it. The gentle pressure around the incision area makes moving around less uncomfortable and gives you that extra bit of protection when you laugh, sneeze, or cough (because OUCH).  I had three of them and let me tell you they were rough! Even car rides were the worst! Of course, always check with your doctor first.

6. Helps You Feel "Put Back Together"

When your uterus is shrinking back down and your body is adjusting, it can feel really weird inside. Wearing a faja gave me that “held together” feeling that made the healing process feel less overwhelming.

7. Not Just for the First Weeks

The best part? Fajas aren’t just for immediately after birth. I wore mine months later too—sometimes for workouts, sometimes just on days when my body felt heavy and I wanted that extra support.

Listen, postpartum recovery looks different for everyone. Some moms bounce back fast, others (like me) need a little more time and support—and that’s 100% okay. For me, a faja wasn’t just about looking better in my clothes. It was about feeling supported, standing taller, and being a little more comfortable while adjusting to my new “mom body.”

So if you’re about to have a baby or just had one, do yourself a favor and try a faja. Honestly, it was one of the best postpartum decisions I made.

Water Wipes

I highly stand by these Water Wipes. These wipes gets the mess off babies with no scrubbing or hassle at all. These wipes are the best kind because although they are soaking wet they do not take so many to clean the baby or any mess at all.

 I used these on my kids since they are basically sensitive to everything else because of the soaps and other things used in normal wipes and did not dry them out nor make them break out or itch. These wipes also do not dry out like normal baby wipes and if they happen to do so, you just add a little water and they will bounce right back.  

These wipes have no artificial fragrance, parabens or sulfates or plastics that will irritate the babies skin which is a great thing because babies skins are sensitive and they cannot handle a lot of things.

These things work so well basically anyone can use them if they need.

Babies and their sleeping

When a baby is asleep do not wake them it is a very important thing for them to sleep. It helps them grow and develop. They learn a lot of things when they are asleep. It improves their motor skills and other things. If a baby is asleep and you wake them up, good luck on getting them back to sleep. Most of them will cry and cry and cry. But if you believe they have colic because they cry nonstop then find some wild catnip if you are unsure what wild catnip is then ask a gardener or you can even go to the store and get the non-wild catnip tea and give it to them. It will help them more than you believe.

Toddlers, kids and babies and the things unseen

Babies can see things that we cannot see but we can sense. They can see passed loved ones, their guardian angels and other people or things. They have what we call imaginary friends but theirs are actual people at times. They can see almost anything but once they turn a certain age it gets harder for them to see them but some have it for life. You never know who they are staring off at, waving or even talking to. You can ask them but at times the will not tell you because they promised not to. It's nothing to be scared of unless you know that something is wrong but most of the time its good presence but sometimes it doesn't feel okay. Sometimes they will say their name and point and you try to tell them that they are not there they have passed on but in reality they are there and sometimes if you say that they will let you know that. You will hear things move and shift, if your lucky you may even hear them walk or talk but don't be alarmed they will be with you like they say sometimes you don't realise it but they are and other times they might of went home but you never know. A baby and child will tell you lots of things but you have to understand that they at times cannot tell you or say it in words just look at their actions and motions. You can tell if there is something going on.
