Seed Nutrition with great tips to share

Nutrition is just as important postpartum as it is in pregnancy. A new mother needs nourishing to stay healthy and take on the new challenges of motherhood.

Here are my Top 10 Foods for Postpartum Healing:

1. Cacao is nutrient dense and full of phytonutrients.
2. A healthy nut butter with no added salt or sugar is an ideal food to incorporate into a new Mum’s diet. It offers fibre, healthy fats, protein and vitamins and minerals. This in turn helps keep you full and gives you energy to keep you going for longer.
3. Bone broth can provide a warming and hydrating drink or soup, perfect for a breastfeeding mother, with added nutrients such as iron, vitamin D and C. Bone broth or stocks contain lots of amazing healing elements like collagen which contribute to the healing of the gut lining.
4. Eating foods which are low GI and slow releasing carbohydrates, such as berries, ensures blood sugar levels are more stable. This in turn will help with fatigue, hunger and mood
5. Eggs – a low cost but high quality protein source, make sure to buy organic free range. They provide iodine and selenium needed for thyroid hormone metabolism, which can be affected by loss of sleep in new Mums so its important to support them from dietary sources
6. Avocados are rich in the monounsaturated fat, oleic acid which can play a part in improving insulin sensitivity. They are also a great source of fibre, folate and potassium which are important in a maternal diet and often lacking
7. Chia seeds are a rich source of minerals needed for bone health – calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Women experience bone loss during lactation even with good calcium levels so consuming chia seeds may help in replenishing calcium levels
8. Oats are a good source of protein which can work in the promotion of healing after childbirth. They also contain sleep promoting tryptophan and energy producing vitamin B1.
9. Stews, although technically more of a meal than a food, provide a variety of nourishing elements to a new Mum that is warming and hydrating.
10. Coconut oil contains medium-chain-triglycerides which work as a quick energy source and you can also use it on your skin as an excellent moisturiser for scar tissue and wound healing as it is an antimicrobial.

It doesn't matter whether you had a baby last week or last decade.
There is some truth in the fact that your post-birth body will never be exactly the same as it was before.
But....don't assume it will inevitably be worse. It can absolutely be strong or stronger, capable and feel like yours again. 👌❤️💪
