If there was one thing to prepare for postpartum it is nourishing meals. This blog post shares some of my quick tips for creating a healing postpartum through nourishing foods. 🥹💓🌼
Preparing for what your healing body needs during postpartum is essential. Here are a few of my favorite tips I share daily with my momma clients:
Start meal prepping around 32 weeks postpartum - I love encouraging my momma clients to prep 1-2 batches of a recipe over each weekend from 32 weeks until their due week. This can give you around 10-20 meals in your freezer. There really is no need to take a full day to meal prep if you just make your usual recipes and double batch them. tHE postpartum Recipe Book: Heal, Nourish, Cocoon contains all of my postpartum meal prep plans.
Put resources to purchasing vibrant produce - before you purchase another baby wrap look at what you are planning to consume. I am about quality over quantity. I would prefer my momma clients to eat high quality produce over fancy meal delivery services. Most times simple is your best friend - a recipe with a few high quality ingredients wins over a million ingredients that cause tummy upset.
Make some muffins - I love muffin shape treats for postpartum. The main reason is that they are defrost perfectly in a pinch. I also love how easy they are to eat snacks while breastfeeding your baby. Here are a few of my absolute favorite muffin recipes - My Journal.
Create a 6 week meal of meals that are nurturing for mommas - often times meal trains can consist of heavy pasta dishes and overly salted casseroles. For postpartum we need to honor your body’s delicate healing process. We fuel the body in a kind understanding way. I love encouraging my momma clients to create a meal train with specific instructions. This can look like: warm meals, easy digestible ingredients, grounding spices etc. Looking for ideas to include with your meal plan? Purchase my newest postpartum cookbook to share with your family and friends.
Freezer stocked with soups and stews - looking for the quickest way to prepare a stocked freezer for postpartum? Look into batch cooking soups and stews. Servings can be spread out over many weeks and truly the body will need this kind of hydration more than anything. The Postpartum Recipe Book: Heal, Nourish, Cocoon contains all of my most loved postpartum soups and stews. It also includes all my postpartum weekly menus for the first 6 weeks.
Make batches of tea for cozy midnight cups - nothing is like a cozy mug of thoughtful tea from your past self. I love making batches for my momma clients for hydration and soul comfort. Nothing is like a thermos next to your bedside of warm chamomile milk tea while you’re feeding your baby during the late night hours. My favorite momma latte recipes are in my cookbook!
Seasonal spices feel nostalgic - if you are preparing for your postpartum in a seasonal way, look to spices. I love warming spices like nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon for autumn. These small editions can make lifelong memories of your nourishing postpartum.
