The Guest Curator: Hillary Sadler, RN, MSN, IBCLC Labor & Delivery Nurse, Feeding Specialist, and Founder of Baby Settler
In our Guest Curator Series, we are asking some of our favorite creators, entrepreneurs, and experts to tell us what they would put in a Nurtured 9 Gift Box to celebrate and support other women who are starting their motherhood journeys. In this edition, we’re unveiling a supportive postpartum care package, curated by an expert in postpartum care: Hillary Sadler, RN, MSN, IBCLC Labor & Delivery Nurse, Feeding Specialist, and Founder of Baby Settler.
Hillary Sadler'’s Nurtured 9 Curate-Your-Own Gift Box Design!
Meet The Curator
“If we haven’t met yet — hi, I’m Hillary! I’m a labor & delivery nurse, feeding specialist, and mom of four, which basically means I’ve lived every version of new-mom chaos. This box is filled with things I wish someone had handed me during those first hazy weeks — little comforts, real essentials, and a few treats that remind you you’re still you. My hope is that when you open this box, you feel supported, cared for, and a little less alone in this wild season. You can find me at www.babysettler.com and @babysettler.”
The Curation:
what’s in Hillary’s gift box for a postpartum mom?
Why hillary Chose These Items:
Eucalyptus & Peppermint Shower Steamers - “Sometimes the only alone time we get is in the shower. This fresh, clarifying steamer turns that five minutes into a real reset. The eucalyptus opens your airways and the peppermint gives you that ‘I can breathe again’ feeling we all crave in the postpartum fog.”
Nemah Renewal Nipple & Lip Balm - “A must-have for breastfeeding moms—this soothing balm helps protect and restore tender nipples during those first weeks of frequent feeds. I love that it doubles as a nourishing lip balm.”
Mom’s One Line a Day Journal - “Those early days blur together faster than anyone tells you. This journal gives you a simple, pressure-free way to capture one moment, one quote, or one feeling each day. You’ll be so grateful to look back on these little entries as your baby grows.”
Nemah Calming Aromatherapy Roller- “Perfect for grounding your nervous system when everything feels intense. Roll it onto your wrists, temples, or collarbone for a quick moment of peace—especially during middle-of-the-night feedings or postpartum anxiety spikes.” [Note: The roller in these photographs has unfortunately been discontinued by Nemah, but we found another amazing, uplifting roller from Wiley Body to bring to Nurtured 9 instead!].
Bonsie Skin-to-Skin Footie - “Skin-to-skin is one of the most powerful tools for bonding, soothing fussiness, and supporting milk supply. This footie makes it effortless with quick access for snuggles—without stripping your baby down to a diaper.”
Mama & Baby Bird Lotion - “A gentle, clean-ingredient lotion safe for both you and your baby. The scent is soft and calming, and the texture is luxurious—turning routine lotion time into a moment of connection for you both.”
Nurtured 9 Nursing & Car Seat Cover - “This multi-use cover is one of those ‘how did I live without this?’ essentials. It gives you breathable, flexible coverage while nursing or pumping, and doubles as a car seat cover to shield your baby from bright lights, wind, or overstimulation when you’re on the go. Soft, lightweight, and easy to toss in your bag—it's a true new-mom staple.”
