Hey Mama,
Let’s talk about something that might seem small but actually makes a huge difference in how you feel postpartum: the things you use every day.
Right now, you’re in the thick of it—healing, adjusting, running on fumes, and figuring out how to be everything your little one needs. And in the middle of all that, it’s so easy to forget about yourself. But here’s the thing: you matter too. And the things you surround yourself with? They can actually make you feel better.
The Science of Feeling Good (It’s Not Just in Your Head!)
Did you know that when you see or use something beautiful, your brain releases dopamine—the “happy” chemical that makes you feel good? It’s science!
A study published in Frontiers in Psychology found that viewing aesthetically pleasing objects increases dopamine levels in the brain, leading to a boost in mood and well-being. Another study in Brain and Cognition found that experiencing beauty activates the brain’s reward system, similar to what happens when we listen to our favorite music or eat something delicious.
The same dopamine-triggering effect happens when we see beautiful products, well-designed spaces, and even thoughtfully crafted everyday items. In other words, the things you use every day can actually impact your happiness.
Now, think about the typical postpartum products out there. Most of them are… well, pretty ugly. They’re plain, clinical, and make you feel like a patient rather than the strong, beautiful mom that you are. And when everything around you feels dull and lifeless, it can subtly reinforce the idea that you don’t matter as much as you used to. But mama, that is so not true.
Why You Deserve Pretty Things (Even When You’re Covered in Milk & Spit-Up)
Look, this isn’t about looking perfect or having some Instagram-worthy postpartum setup. This is about you feeling good—even in the messy, exhausting, beautiful chaos of new motherhood.
It’s about reaching for things that make you feel cared for, rather than just another thing on your to-do list.
Le Lolo: Because Moms Deserve Beautiful Things Too
At Le Lolo, we believe that postpartum products should be made with the mom in mind—not just what’s practical, but what makes you feel good. You don’t have to settle for boring, clinical-looking accessories just because you’re a mom.
You’re still you, and you deserve to have things that make you feel like the beautiful, strong, extraordinary woman you are.
So, mama, next time you reach for something—whether it’s a nipple shield, a balm, or a nursing cover—ask yourself: Does this make me feel good? If the answer is no, it’s time to upgrade.
Because you matter too!
