Let’s dive in!
Be sure to read to the end — we’re announcing the LFG x Mamala Organics giveaway! 😍
Hi LFG readers- I am Rebecca, founder of Mamala Organics, creator of Support Snacks™ - a new approach to functional snacking for women’s health.
Ahead of the launch of our postpartum healing and recovery collection, Annie has given me the special honor of curating this Mother’s Day edition of LFG, spotlighting postpartum Mamalas and sharing how YOU can show up for the mothers in your life.
The days following birth are all encompassing - everything is off kilter to a degree. The truth is, no one needs another onesie and it feels good (let’s feel good!) to give a gift that acknowledges the woman who did the physical labor to bring a new life into the world.
Let’s start with the most important truth: Postpartum is a nutrient-critical life stage that can last up to 10 years—and postpartum depletion affects every single woman after birth.
Yes, take a postnatal supplement, but your body can only absorb a limited amount of nutrients via a supplement—the rest must come from whole foods and it is hard to get those great whole foods into your diet, especially as a new mother with limited bandwidth.
If you’ve ever been the one staring at a half-eaten bowl of oatmeal at 4 p.m. wondering “what did I feed myself today?”—you get it. So priority #1: nourish mom!
Enter, Mamala Support Snacks™. Organic, plant-based, delicious, shelf-stable, and convenient (it’s a pouch!), our Support Snacks™ are specifically formulated to functionally address the full spectrum of postpartum symptoms.
This includes wound healing, bowel motility, hormone health, immunity, cognition, and lactation. Made in collaboration with a clinical dietitian and food scientist. We are making it easy to access those incredible whole foods mentioned above so that every Mamala can heal, revive, and thrive - launching in JUNE exclusively to our waitlist - join here!
THE ULTIMATE MOTHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE
HYDRATION 💦 The hydration station should look good to inspire proactive watering of thyself. Tea out of a gorgeous kettle and water out of a stunning water bottle are both amazing gifts.
SELF-CARE 😊 The first post-delivery poop - terrifying - the first post-delivery shower - exquisite! These very clean self-care gifts are a great way to show a Mamala - I’m really thinking about YOU!
Goop Lift + Depuff Eye Patches - When I first saw myself after having my first bebe, I acutely recall seeing the bags under my eyes and being utterly shocked. Yes, I was proud of myself for, you know, birthing a human, but I had never seen my eyes so puffy. These eye patches were a life saver.
Kora Noni Glow Sleeping Mask - Skincare to support her through undoubtedly sleepless nights.
Ice Roller - An ice roller is a great morning ritual and provides a slice of serenity.
David Mullet Shampoo and Conditioner - You’ll want to be super conscientious selecting anything that will be going on the body - fragrance free, silicone-free, sulphate-free, dye-free and mineral oil-free: this line is super clean and luxurious for that aforementioned magical shower.
Mason Pearson Comb & Crown Affair Brush - Pregnancy hair? Full and fabulous. Postpartum? Suddenly you're shedding like a golden retriever. Just one more thing to contend with — and sometimes, a pretty comb or brush is the perfect little pick-me-up.
Herbal Sitz Bath - For immediately post-birth she'll need an herbal sitz bath, benefits include: soothes perineal pain, promotes healing, reduces swelling, relieves muscle tension.
Bathing Culture Big Dipper Mineral Bath - For forever lux soaking.
COMFORT 🥰 Have you heard of the 5, 5, 5 rule? First 5 days in the bed, next 5 days on the bed, last 5 days near the bed. It’s a great way to ensure you’re giving yourself the time and space to heal, despite the hormonal urge to get up and go. This lounging and healing is best done in something that makes you feel good - something you likely wouldn't buy for yourself.
Tekla Classic Bathrobe - Postpartum is the perfect time to upgrade the robe - new robe = high vibes.
L.L Bean Cozy Socks - According to Eastern Chinese Medicine, keeping feet warm is an essential part of recovery and restoring balance. (Another great L.L. Bean gift is a classic initial tote)
Donni Button Down - A button down that is just as perfect in the house as it is out of the house - so she can feel effortlessly put together. Bonus, made by an incredible Mamala. Throw on to feel a little put together.
Sleepy Jones Marina Pajama & Cosabella Nursing 3 Piece Pajama Set With Robe- Again, nothing changes the vibe like a magical shower, followed by slipping on a beautiful pajama set.
🍲 Homemade Soup
If you want to do something extra, something homemade and from the heart, that is super simple, it’s caldo de pollo.
I deliver in extra large mason jars to every new mom I know (with some fresh flowers). It’s hearty and tasty, and you can throw in a variety of veggies - I always deliver it with washed, organic cilantro and limes.
It’s got all the goods: protein for tissue repair, broth for hydration and electrolyte balance, it’s rich in vitamins and minerals - carrots, celery, and potatoes add vitamins A and C, as well as minerals like iron and magnesium, supporting immune function and energy levels, and digestive support promoting better nutrient absorption and ultimately comfort.
🍼 If you must…
If you are desperate to get something for bebe as an addition you’ll never go wrong with pajamas or Labananita bloomers (hand-dyed bloomers made by an amazing mother? Even better).
Those are just a few of my ideas, feel free to DM me for more.
In closing, let’s prioritize nourishing, honoring, and supporting the mother—because bebe needs her and she needs us.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mamalas and if you’re keen to learn more about Mamala Organics you can find us on Instagram @mamala_organics.
