Before you go into labour, buy some of those disposable ice-cube bags.
Trim to fit and round off the edges.
Fill only about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick with water and seal.
Place in your freezer, and they will be all ready when you need them!
After baby is born, if you had an episiotomy, you will find these ice-packs wonderfully healing.
Simply take one out of the freezer, wrap in an old, small hand-towel you don't need anymore.
Place this ice pack inside your underpants, against your stitches.
The individual pockets of ice make it flexible enough to mold to your body, and the cool ice will relieve your discomfort!
Shopping Suggestions:
•
SmartChoices Feme Pad
•
FlexiFreeze Ice Sheet
•
Thermos Ice Mat - 9 cube
•
Earth Mama Organic Herbal Sitz Bath for Pregnancy and Postpartum
•
Disposable Sitz Bath | Vagi-Sitz Bath

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!
