Reddit mentions of Jockey Women's Robe, Eggplant, Medium

I have this one! I brought it with me to the hospital when my last baby was born and it was great. Super soft and covered me up well. Was so much comfier than a hospital gown. It’s not super thick or long though I’d definitely still wear pants but it’s T-shirt material instead of fluffy.

This is so nice of you!

I saw someone mention a nice robe. I got a lightweight robe. This one is nice because the tie is attached. I basically just wore a nursing bra and granny panties and the robe for the first few weeks and it was nice not having to squeeze into real clothes.

My hospital provided a belly band thing that was covered by insurance, but I thought it was very uncomfortable and never wore it.

What was really helpful was having a small pillow around to hold against the incision for coughing, laughing, pooping, etc. If she doesn't have one she wants to use, a small, soft throw pillow might be useful for this. Especially if it has a removable cover, because milk/poop/spit up get on everything.

Freezer meals were a godsend for us. Crockpot freezer meals for dinners, and we made a bunch of breakfast burritos and froze them too. Really yummy, satisfying one handed meal. Trail mix was also a really good food to have on hand. I had little Tupperware containers scattered around wherever I might be with the baby so I always had something to munch on.

A house cleaning could be extremely helpful.

Good luck to your friend! And kudos to you for doing such a nice gift!
