Postpartum Meals: How to Prep Nourishing Meals for New Parents
From pregnancy to postpartum, new parents have done the hard part. Show them your love and support by helping them start a new chapter of life with wholesome and nutritious postpartum meals.
Postpartum
meals nourish growing babies, help moms recover more quickly, and
provide (some) peace of mind as parents adjust to and welcome Baby.
Here’s how to prepare nourishing and wholesome meals to help new parents
flourish.
What to Look For
Postpartum
moms need nutrient-rich foods to help restore their energy and support
their baby's growth and development. During pregnancy and birth,
essential nutrients are depleted, so post-birth is the perfect time to
nourish new life and parents. Here’s what every postpartum meal should
include:
- High-Quality Animal Protein: Protein helps repair tissue, support a healthy immune system, balance hormones postpartum, and promote breast milk production. Choose lean, regenerative meats like pastured chicken, grass-fed and finished beef, and wild-caught fish. Don’t sleep on liver! These small organ meats pack a nutritious protein punch, high in vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12, as well as folic acid and iron.
- Healthy Fats: Healthy fats, like Omega 3, are essential for Baby’s development. An easy way to incorporate it into any dish is to swap traditional ultra-processed cooking oil for organic grass fed beef tallow. Did you know 100% pasture-raised, corn and soy-free beef tallow is a natural source of vitamins A, D, E, K, and CLA?
- Nutrient-Dense Foods: Choose whole foods rich in essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals, which can help speed recovery and support overall wellness for Mom. Fill their plate with leafy greens, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to support a wholesome, nutrient-dense diet. Corn and soy free chicken bone broth also makes a nutritious soup base or a hydrating standalone drink.
With a few wholesome, nutrient-rich foods, you can support new parents as they embark on this exciting chapter of life.
