Postnatal Nutrition

Why Nutrition Matters during postnatal recovery

During pregnancy, your body naturally prioritises your baby's health, which can leave you nutritionally depleted. It's crucial to care for yourself by consuming nourishing foods to replenish the nutrients used during pregnancy and support postpartum recovery. A well-nourished mother enhances her energy levels and overall health, enabling her to better support her baby.

If you choose to breastfeed, a healthy and balanced diet is essential to provide essential nutrients for your growing newborn. The quality of your breast milk is influenced by your daily food intake and your own health.

Whether you choose breast milk or formula to nourish your baby, both can impact their flavour preferences during weaning. Your dietary choices during and after pregnancy can affect the flavour of breast milk from one feed to another. Breast milk offers a unique opportunity to expose your baby to various flavours, promoting food acceptance and healthy eating habits.

Through an evidence-based, personalised nutrition and lifestyle approach, we'll work together to achieve your health goals, providing your child with the best possible start in life.

Nourished Nest Workshops

I'm here to provide nutritional support during the early months of motherhood.

Bringing a new life into the world is an extraordinary and life-changing experience. Witnessing your baby's first moments is a treasure.

Living with a newborn is filled with joy, but it can also bring exhaustion, feeling overwhelmed, and heightened anxiety.

The toll of pregnancy and childbirth on your body can often lead to nutrient depletion, causing 'baby brain' and fatigue.

Consuming the right foods can replenish these lost nutrients and stabilise fluctuating hormones, addressing emotional ups and downs.

I firmly believe that a personalised postnatal nutritional program designed for busy mums can help balance hormones, improve mood, support breastfeeding if chosen, support postpartum recovery, boost energy levels, and enhance sleep regulation, helping you feel like your old self.

Enrolling in one of my programs can alleviate stress, provide reassurance, and boost your confidence in making the best food choices for your child's journey to Grow, Learn, and Thrive.
