Holistic nutrition guide to nourish your journey into motherhood — pregnancy, postpartum & baby

in honour of // here are three mind blowing reasons breastmilk really is pure golden magic… that is truly ALIVE 💫

before we do, did you know that breastmilk the most unique and easily absorbed composition of lactose, proteins, fats and nutrients that is ever-changing & its composition is completely individualised to your baby!?🤯

In fact, your body is designed to produce Pure. Golden. Magic that

1. is not only adaptive over the span of your breastfeeding journey but also it can adapt in a single feed // aka. it can change in composition of fat, nutrients and immune aiding properties to meet the needs of your baby.

2. provides tailor made antibodies to your baby via pathogens picked up from kissing your babies skin as well as a backwash affect from the flow of milk making its way into the breast of the mother that rapidly produces antibodies within her milk to respond to the babies individual needs.

3. changes from day to night // as a babies circadian rhythm is yet to develop and produce melatonin until 9-12 weeks, a mothers breastmilk changes from day to night to provide melatonin for your baby and support sleep.

While the journey to breastfeeding isn’t always easy— let’s be real it can really take you by surprise (thanks to the anxiety caused by engorgement, mastitis, cracked nips to name a few 😅) I truly believe we as a society lack the support women need to breastfeed & as an advocate for women who desire to breastfeed, it is an area I’m passionate about providing further support in!

So tell me, what fact surprised you most? 💫

our newest little love Theo arrived mid last week & we could not be more in love with our little family of four 🤍

born speedy but peacefully at home in the water, and brought earth side by both his daddy and mama ✨

one day soon I’ll jump on & share the wildly intense, quick yet beautiful birth journey but for now I am embracing the slow of this postpartum season & we are soaking in all the newborn moments, with hindsight, knowing these moments are very very fleeting 🕊

Just over here entering the wild, emotional coaster of the waiting season — the time period between two worlds where It could be a matter of hours or days before I meet this little one to a few more weeks 😅

Knowing that so many of entering this season too, I thought I’d refocus my energy and mind on sharing some of my TOP nourishing foods to help fuel each stage of labour instead 🙈 because we all know labour has its own timeline too & fueling for endurance is key.

So If you’re a mama-to-be or know one entering this wild season too SAVE & SWIPE & TAG them in this post & hang in there! This season does eventually end, I promise ✨

hey, it’s been a little while as we have been busy nourishing over here at 🙈

I promise for good reason though! I’ve been baking another little human who will join us in autumn & we have been basking in the slow days together as we near the end of a family of three to become four (well as slow as they can be when you’re chasing a toddler 😅).

all this to say that i am excited to be & share more with you all about my learnings & passions — aka all things that nourish motherhood, pregnancy, postpartum & baby & will be nearing the end of my studies over the next couple months before I welcome this sweet babe!

while I will be taking some time to soak up all the newborn goodness & prioritise nourishment — I am also SO looking forward to sharing & dreaming up some simple & practical tools for YOU all to be & feel nourished, at each stage of the motherhood journey 🙈 so keep your eyes peeled.

anywho! I honestly cannot wait & am so excited to be back in this space & to connect with you all & journey (& surrender to) all that will be in 2023.

love Ash x
