PERFECT POSTURE: POST-NATAL RECOVERY

Written by: Jess Farmer

The postpartum period, or the fourth trimester, is a time of major adjustment. Your body is healing, your hormones are shifting, and you’re navigating life with a newborn—all on very little sleep. Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or a C-section, this stage brings plenty of physical and emotional changes. Luckily, your Cushy Puff Pregnancy Pillow is here to support you through it all.

BACK PAIN & POSTURAL CHALLENGES

Between feeding, lifting, and carrying your baby, your back can take a real hit postpartum. Pregnancy has already changed your posture, and now everyday movements can leave you feeling stiff and sore. Keeping good posture is key to managing discomfort, and the Cushy Puff helps with that. Place it behind your lower back while feeding to keep your spine supported, or tuck it under your arms to ease tension in your shoulders. Small adjustments can make a big difference in keeping you comfortable.

REST & RECOVERY

Let’s be real—sleep is in short supply with a newborn. Hormonal shifts, round-the-clock feeding, and general exhaustion can take a toll. While you might not get as much rest as you’d like, making the moments you do get as comfortable as possible is key. The Cushy Puff isn’t just for sleeping—it’s perfect for lounging, propping yourself up in bed, or just finding a moment of stillness in a chaotic day.

EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING

Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also overwhelming. Between sleepless nights and the emotional rollercoaster of postpartum recovery, taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of your baby. Physical comfort plays a big role in emotional well-being. When your body feels supported, you’re more likely to find moments of calm and relaxation. The Cushy Puff helps create that cozy, comforting space you need to breathe, reset, and take care of yourself.

C-SECTION

Recovering from a C-section brings its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to movement and positioning. With weakened core muscles, your lower back has to work overtime, leading to extra strain. The Cushy Puff provides gentle lower back support, making it easier to sit, rest, and get comfortable. Whether you're lying down or propped up, this pillow helps ease pressure on your incision and allows for a more restful recovery.

PHYSICAL RECOVERY AFTER CHILDBIRTH

Postpartum healing looks different for everyone. If you had a vaginal birth, perineal pain or stitches can make sitting uncomfortable. Placing the Cushy Puff in the right position can help take the pressure off and give your lower back some much-needed relief. If you’re dealing with abdominal discomfort, like diastasis recti, the Cushy Puff’s adjustable support can help ease tension and promote healing as you rest.

BREASTFEEDING & NURSING COMFORT

Feeding your baby—whether breastfeeding or bottle-feeding—can put a lot of strain on your body. Finding the right position is crucial, and the Cushy Puff makes it easier by supporting your arms, back, and neck. Adjusting the pillow’s positioning can help create the perfect height and angle for a comfortable feeding experience. No more hunching over or dealing with aching shoulders—just a more relaxed, enjoyable bonding moment for you and your baby.

SUPPORTING YOUR POSTPARTUM JOURNEY

The fourth trimester is a mix of exhaustion, joy, and adjustment. Taking care of yourself makes all the difference, and having the right support can help. With the Cushy Puff by your side, you can focus on healing, resting, and embracing this new chapter with comfort and confidence.
