postpartum meal delivery los angeles & beyond
When navigating the fourth trimester, a new Mothers biggest ally will be her support system and nourishing her body through food.
As an Ayurvedic postpartum doula the focus is always on diet/nourishment to aid in recovery, nourish a fatigued mother so that she has the ability to tend to her newborn baby.
During these first few months, as you navigate the complexities of your new role, your body is also on a path to reclaiming itself.
Understanding the role of a wholesome diet in the healing process cannot be overstated. In Ayurvedic tradition, it's advised that new mothers nourish themselves with:
Warm, easily digestible foods
Sattvic foods
Nutrient Dense
Well-spiced
Think comforting soups, stews, dals and broths. These meals are not just about sustenance; they're about warming and rejuvenating the body, aiding in digestion and promoting overall wellness.
Postpartum Meal Planning:
Focus on warm, soft, and easily digestible meals.
Ensure meals are nutrient-rich and made from whole, clean ingredients.
Recommended dishes include soups, stews, porridge, broths, and congee.
Foods to Minimize Postpartum:
Avoid foods that are cold, hard, and difficult to digest.
Steer clear of highly processed and non-organic options.
Avoid cold drinks/smoothies, chips, crackers and raw veggies.
