When I started this business, I knew that the nutritional needs of the new mum needed to be at the centre of our offering. And so, our 7 Principles of Postpartum Nourishment were born, as a way to guide our food direction and recipe development.
1. Warm, easy to digest meals - we focus on soft, slow-cooked foods that are gentle on the digestive system because postpartum digestion can be sluggish and sensitive.
2. Anti-inflammatory ingredients - we prioritise ingredients like turmeric, ginger, garlic, and omega-3 rich seeds.
3. Blood-building foods - we include ingredients rich in iron, B vitamins and Vitamin C to help replenish blood lost during birth.
4. Protein for repair - every dish includes quality protein sources like lentils, quinoa, slow-cooked meats or seeds to support tissue repair, hormonal recovery and breastmilk production.
5. Healthy fats for hormone and milk support: - we love the good fats from sources like tahini and h**p seeds, and choose to cook in high quality olive or coconut oil.
6. Support for digestion and gut healing - we use probiotic rich foods (onions, garlic, oats), broths and stewed fruits to promote healthy digestion.
7. Hydration through food - we love broths, stews and wet curries that offer hydration alongside nutrients. So important when your fluid needs are high.
Even if you're doing your own postpartum freezer meal prep, you can use this guide to help choose recipes that will support your nutritional needs.
