#25 Gathering your Village for a nourished 4th Trimester with Leila from Village for Mama

Description:

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.

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. 

In today’s episode we chat to Leila. Leila is a Gold Coast based mama, holistic postpartum doula, nutrition consultant and author of the incredible Village For Mama postpartum recipe book.

Throughout this episode we cover how to rally your village for a  nourished 4th trimester, some general principles for postpartum nutrition and how you can support new mothers in your life through the gift of food. We also get to hear a little bit about Leila’s own matrescence journey, how the book came to fruition and some honest reflections on her own postpartum wellbeing. 

Whether you are a birth worker, a mother, or  a beloved member of someone's village, you are guaranteed to take something away from this episode.
