Food For The Family

You spent so much time preparing for the baby but you had no idea you’d be this hungry postpartum. Maybe you picked up a few cookbooks on postpartum nutrition, but between healing, feeding and adjusting to this new life, who has the time to cook?

FAQs

  • You definitely don’t NEED to but let me tell you, there is a lifetime of cooking and meal prep ahead, so early postpartum is a great time to bring on meal support so you and your partner can focus on the baby.

  • Postpartum is a time for yummy, nutrient-dense, hydrating, easy-to-digest and comforting foods. Think soups, stews, broths, whole grains, veggies, and healthy sweets that power you through late night feedings.

  • I will probably ask you to order more tupperware because we are going to fill your fridge! You can count on 2-3lbs of meat in a meat dish, 2 cups of dry grain in a grain dish, 48oz of broth in a soup/stew. Book a call so we can chat about quantities.

  • No problem! We will talk through all the dietary restrictions you and your family have and craft a tailored menu to best meet your nutritional needs.
