Description

Snacks are vital to all parts of life in my opinion. They are quick fuel for tired days, they stabilize blood sugar, they lift mood, they are just generally magic. In the postpartum period you need to eat sufficient amounts of food. It takes a great deal of work for your body to heal after giving birth and eating enough food helps your body do that. The 4th Trimester is not a time to try to limit your caloric intake or your food groups unless medically necessary. This episode contains some snack tips to help you plan out your food plan for the postpartum time!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Have snack baskets wherever you plan to sit to feed the baby
• Buy a variety of your favorite snacks so you have options
• Buy some shelf stable snacks so you don’t have to worry about quick expiration dates
• Have snacks for your partner or co parent as well if you have one! 
• Consider food that makes you happy as well as food that has high protein and healthy fats
• Convenience is key in this postpartum time! So if at all possible try to get the easiest food to eat
