Postpartum Kits

Postpartum kits can be key to helping you recover after delivery. When it comes to the essential care items, be sure to have a peri bottle on hand. "The perineal area is often sore, swollen or has stitches," said Jill Purdie, M.D., a board-certified OBGYN and medical director at Northside Women’s Specialists, part of Pediatrix® Medical Group. "Using a peri bottle can help dilute the urine so that it does not sting as much during urination," said Dr. Purdie. "It also can help keep the stitches clean."
