Postpartum Recovery Guide: Essential Tips for Healing & Self-Care

Postpartum recovery is more than rest. It’s a full-body, full-heart healing process.

They hand you your baby, and in a heartbeat, the spotlight shifts. All eyes land on the newborn—tiny, precious, deserving. But somewhere in that soft chaos, what about you?

Your body—sore, stretched, and still bleeding.
Your mind—foggy, fragile, and trying hard to hold everything together.

This is postpartum.
And this is when you need care the most.

Healing after childbirth is not one-dimensional. It’s layered and personal. There’s the physical recovery—whether from a vaginal tear, an episiotomy, or a C-section incision—and the daily discomfort that can feel like a quiet background hum.

There’s the hormonal whirlwind, the sleepless nights, the breast tenderness, the bleeding that lingers for weeks, and the deep emotional shifts that bring joy, anxiety, overwhelm, guilt, and everything in between.

It’s a lot. And no, you’re not expected to “bounce back.”
You are allowed to move slowly, to feel fully, and to take your time.

In those first few weeks, your job isn’t to get everything right.
Your job is to heal.

That means feeding your body with warm, nourishing meals—the kind your mom or paati would lovingly make. It means sleeping in fragments whenever your baby allows it. It means asking for help, even when you’re not sure what you need. It means bleeding in peace, resting without guilt, and dressing in ways that support your healing, not work against it.

That’s exactly what Putchi stands for.

We believe postpartum care should feel like a soft exhale, not another pressure point. Our postpartum underwear and maternity loungewear are designed for this tender chapter—made for leaky days, tender stitches, nursing moments, and sleepy midnight feeds.

No harsh elastics. No tight seams. Just stretch, breathability, and the kind of comfort that feels like a warm hug.

Because your healing deserves softness.
Your body deserves space.
And you deserve to be held, just as gently as you’re holding your baby.

There’s no “right way” to recover. But with rest, support, and a little Putchi tucked in your drawer—you don’t have to do it alone.
