About Mommy First
Mommy First® is a US-based maternal wellness and postpartum recovery brand serving mothers across the USA, Canada, Europe and the GCC.
We create thoughtfully designed products and care solutions that support women through pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum recovery, C-section recovery and breastfeeding.
We are now building our India operations from Thiruvananthapuram through NeoMed ParenTech India Pvt Ltd, the Indian company behind Mommy First’s expansion in the country.
