When you are pregnant, it feels as though the whole world wants to weigh in on what you can eat. Or more specifically, what you can’t eat. No coffee, no alcohol, no sushi, no fun. However, once a woman gives birth there is a not so subtle shift from focusing on the mother's wellbeing, to focusing on the baby. Family, friends, medical professionals and strangers in the shopping centre who once wanted to make sure you were taking care of yourself and eating enough, now want to know how often the baby is eating and how much they’re eating and if they are well. New mother's are sleep deprived, healing from birth, recovering from 9 months of depletion and oftentimes providing 100% of a babies nutritional needs. Despite this, postpartum mothers receive little to no guidance on the importance of postpartum nutrition, let alone where to start. Today's guest is Leila. Leila is a Gold Coast based mama, holistic postpartum doula, nutrition consultant and author of the Village for mama postpartum recipe book. Throughout this epside we cover how to rally your village for nourished 4th trimester, some general principles for postpartum nutrition, how you can support new mothers in your life through the gift of food and so much more. as you will soon hear, it is so much more than that. Whether you are a birth worker, a mother and a beloved member of someone's village, you are guaranteed to take something away from this episode.
