Postpartum Nourishment : the first 6 weeks
-
Weeks 1-2
The first 2 weeks postpartum, we focus on soft, warming foods that are hydrating & easily digestible. Your body needs nutrient rich foods so it can heal and build energy. I use ingredients that are blood building, warming, healing, hydrating, high in protein, easy to digest, & promote milk production. The ultimate comfort foods!
Congee
Bone Broth
Soups
Stews
Warming Milks/Teas
Stewed Fruits
Roasted Veggies
Oatmeal & Porridge
Rice Pudding
Kitchari

Weeks 3-6
As the body has been working hard to heal over the past couple weeks, we can open to a wider range of options. We still want to focus on the comfort foods and healing foods, but we can introduce heartier, heavier foods and also mix in some more sweets and warm grain salads. In addition to all the offerings for week 1-2, we add the following to our menu options.
Burritos
Meatballs
Frittatas
Hearty Waffles
Warm Grain Salads
Lettuce Wraps
Fried Rice
Gnocchi
Sweet Energy Bites
