🎁 A genuinely useful gift for new mums — practical, beautiful, and easy to use one-handed

This hydration powder is made for you if:

• You're newly postpartum (anywhere from a few days after birth onwards) and rebuilding
• You're breastfeeding and feeling the depletion that comes with milk-making
• You've tried generic electrolyte drinks and felt no different
• You want a hydration drink that's actually formulated for postpartum bodies
• You want collagen support without taking a separate supplement
• You're shopping for a thoughtful gift for a new mum

Not the right fit if you have a fish or shellfish allergy (the marine collagen is fish-derived), or if you've been advised to avoid any of the ingredients by your healthcare provider.

Step 1 — Mix: Add 2 teaspoons to 500–750ml of cold water. Stir or shake well.

Step 2 — Sip throughout the day: During feeds, between naps, whenever you remember. Many mums keep a bottle beside the nursing chair or on the bedside table.

Mama tip: If you prefer a stronger flavour, use 3 teaspoons per 750ml. Some mums also add it to a smoothie, mix with sparkling water for a refreshing afternoon drink, or freeze into hydration ice blocks.

One pouch lasts approximately 50 serves — that's nearly 2 months of daily support for around $1 a day.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Reseal the pouch after each use. Best within 12 months of opening.

Recovery Hydration Powder is formulated for postpartum and breastfeeding use. We recommend not using during pregnancy without healthcare provider guidance.

If you have any concerns about your health, your breast milk supply, your baby's health or growth, or any aspect of postpartum recovery, please seek support from a qualified healthcare provider. Your GP, midwife, lactation consultant, IBCLC, or child health nurse can all help. The Australian Breastfeeding Association is also an excellent free resource.

I'm so thirsty every time I breastfeed. Is that normal?

Yes. Many breastfeeding mums feel thirsty at almost every feed, because making milk uses a lot of fluid. Keep a drink within reach each time you sit down to feed. Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder turns a bottle of cold water into a light watermelon-cherry drink, so sipping all day feels easier. If you feel dizzy or unwell, see your GP.

I'm worried about my milk supply. Will this hydration powder help?

Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder is a hydration drink, not a galactagogue. It supports hydration, which matters while you breastfeed. For ingredients traditionally used to support breastfeeding, look at Nourish Mama Lactation Cookies or Lactation Teas. Many mums use them together. If you're worried about your supply or your baby's weight, talk to your child health nurse, GP or a lactation consultant (IBCLC).

I forget to drink anything all day. What actually helps?

Make one bottle in the morning and keep it where you feed. Many mums leave it beside the nursing chair or on the bedside table. A flavour you enjoy helps too. The light watermelon-cherry taste of Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder makes the bottle easier to finish before the next feed.

I'm running on empty. Is there something quick I can do for myself?

Yes. Two teaspoons of powder, a bottle of cold water, a quick shake, and you're done. No blender and no cooking. Every serve of Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder gives you 5.5g marine collagen and 800mg vitamin C. You're not alone in feeling this tired, and looking after yourself still counts.

Who is the Postpartum Hydration Powder for?

Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder is made for breastfeeding mums and mums in the postpartum months. It suits anyone who finds plain water hard to keep up with. It also makes a practical new mum gift. It contains fish (marine collagen), so it isn't suitable for vegans, vegetarians, or anyone with a fish or shellfish allergy.

How soon after birth can I start?

Many mums start within the first week after birth. There's no set rule. Begin when you feel ready to sip through the day. The early postpartum weeks are often when staying on top of fluids feels hardest, so having Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder ready before the birth helps.

What does it taste like?

Light watermelon and cherry. Refreshing, not sickly. It's sweetened with stevia, and a few mums need a day or two to get used to the sweetness. If the flavour feels too weak, use 3 teaspoons in 750ml of water in place of 2.

Is it suitable for my dietary needs?

Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder is made without added sugar, caffeine, gluten, dairy, nuts, soy, eggs, artificial flavours, artificial colours or preservatives. It contains fish (marine collagen), so it isn't suitable for vegans, vegetarians or pescatarian-avoiding mums. Check the full ingredient list if you avoid any other food.

How much do I use?

Add 2 teaspoons to 500 to 750ml of cold water and stir or shake well. For a stronger flavour, use 3 teaspoons in 750ml. One serve a day makes a 150g pouch of Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder last about two months. Two serves a day lasts about one month.

When should I drink it?

Sip it through the day. During feeds, between naps, whenever you remember. There's no right time. Many mums make a bottle first thing in the morning and keep it beside them for the day's feeds, then top up with plain water in the afternoon.

Are there other ways to have it?

Yes. Some mums blend it into a smoothie, mix it with sparkling water for an afternoon drink, or freeze it into hydration ice blocks. Ice blocks are handy on hot days or in the first weeks after birth. Use the same ratio of powder to water as a normal serve.

What's in it?

Hydrolysed marine collagen, watermelon fruit powder, cherry fruit powder, acerola cherry powder, bamboo silica powder, sea buckthorn powder, beetroot powder, stevia leaf extract and d-biotin. Each serve of Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder has 5.5g marine collagen and 800mg natural vitamin C. The collagen comes from fish processing by-products, the skin and scales.

What allergens does it contain?

Contains fish (marine collagen). Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder isn't suitable for anyone with a fish or shellfish allergy. It is made without gluten, dairy, nuts, soy and eggs, and free from added sugar, caffeine, artificial flavours, artificial colours and preservatives. If you have a food allergy, read the full ingredient list before use.

Can I use it in pregnancy, or with medication?

It's formulated for postpartum and breastfeeding. A few ingredients, including beetroot and sea buckthorn, have varied guidance in pregnancy. Save Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder for after your baby arrives, and talk to your midwife or GP before using it in pregnancy. If you take medication, check with your GP or pharmacist first.

How is it different from Nourish Mama Lactation Cookies and Teas?

The hydration powder is for fluids, with collagen and vitamin C. The Lactation Cookies and Lactation Teas are made with galactagogues, ingredients traditionally used to support breastfeeding. The Breastfeeding Starter Kit brings the powder together with cookies and tea. The Daily Hydration Set pairs Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder with a mixer, included in the price.

Why not add fruit to water myself?

Fruit in water is lovely and costs little. It won't give you a measured 5.5g marine collagen and 800mg vitamin C in every glass. Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder takes no chopping, keeps in the pantry, and mixes in seconds with one hand while you hold your baby.

How is it different from a sports electrolyte drink?

Sports drinks are designed for athletes. Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder is formulated for breastfeeding mums. It has no added sugar, is sweetened with stevia, and adds 5.5g marine collagen and 800mg vitamin C per serve. Its plant-based electrolytes come from watermelon and beetroot, with no artificial flavours or colours.

How many pouches should I buy?

One 150g pouch holds about 50 serves. That's about two months at one serve a day, or one month at two serves a day, around $1 a day. Most mums start with one pouch of Nourish Mama Postpartum Hydration Powder, then reorder once they know how much they drink.

Is it a good gift for a new mum?

Yes. Staying hydrated is something every new mum needs and rarely has time to think about. A pouch on the bedside table is a quiet daily act of care. Pair it with Nourish Mama Lactation Cookies, or choose the Breastfeeding Starter Kit. Check she has no fish allergy first.

How do I store it, and how fast is shipping?

Store it in a cool, dry place and reseal the pouch after each use. Use it within 12 months of opening. Most orders are dispatched within 1 to 2 business days. Shipping is free in Australia over $99, or $12 flat rate in Australia and $15 to New Zealand. It's also on Amazon Australia.
