I make bone broth for all of my postpartum clients - unless they have a diet restriction that prevents it! Why do I do this? Because it’s amazing for healing and I’ve seen how effective it is in supporting postpartum mums. I’ve helped new mums feel calmer, stronger and experience obvious changes in their breastmilk just from taking regular bone broth.
I often get asked more about it… so this blog discusses what it is, what the benefits are and ways to incorporate it into your diet.
To be clear, no ‘special foods’ will dramatically improve your milk supply, if you’re having supply issues then focus on baby’s latch, your hydration and your nutrition overall - but good quality, wholefood snacks will support your system in many ways.
As part of my support I make my birth and postpartum clients snacks to support their recovery and breastfeeding - they are so yummy that I am regularly asked for the recipes so I thought I’d publish them here in one place!
The saying “eating for two” implies that increasing our serving sizes is all it takes to support a pregnancy. In reality, building a new life requires an incredible amount of nutrients! This doesn’t just include energy, it includes physical “building blocks”.
By adjusting diet and supporting your body in the absorption of the nutrients you’re eating, you can assist yourself and your baby, no matter what stage you’re both at. There is so much that can be done with Nutritional Support and this blog explores practical steps you can take.
