Creating the Ultimate Postpartum Care Box for My Friends

Inspired by that sample pack, I created a box of postpartum care supplies for my close friends who were about to give birth. I wanted them to feel supported and prepared for the surprises that come during one's postpartum journey, something I felt was lacking in my own experience. I hoped to provide them with the tools and knowledge they needed to care for themselves while caring for their newborns.

ABOUT COCO BIRTH BOX & HOW IT ALL STARTED

Inspired by My Own Postpartum Journey

The idea for Coco Birth Box came to me during my postpartum recovery after having my daughter, nicknamed Coco. As I navigated the early days of motherhood, I felt overwhelmed and underprepared for the physical and emotional challenges that naturally come after childbirth. Despite all the resources I had for Coco, there was a glaring lack of support for my recovery and well-being. This gap was even more apparent when I reflected on the baby care sample pack I had received during a midwife appointment. It was full of helpful items for the baby, yet nothing addressed the needs of a recovering mother.

From Personal Gift to Purposeful Business

Since then, Coco Birth Box has grown into a business focused on spreading that support to as many as possible. Each box is curated with products and resources that address the holistic needs of new mothers to make the postpartum period a little smoother and supported. Every woman and mother deserves it, especially during such a significant and vulnerable time.
