Pre and Postnatal Nourishment

During pregnancy, your body goes through a number of physical and hormonal changes that continue well into the postnatal period. Throughout this transitional time, you will require adequate nourishment to support your increased needs and fuel yourself and your growing baby.

Most women can meet their increased nutritional needs by eating a diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy, fruits, and vegetables. Eating a wide variety of foods from these food categories will provide everything you and your baby need, including protein, fiber, iron, calcium, and folate. 

This recipe collection was thoughtfully created with the mom-to-be and new mom in mind. The collection includes:

  • Recipes for every meal of the day: breakfast, lunch, supper, and snacks.
  • Plenty of whole grains, lean proteins and dairy, fruits, and vegetables to ensure you are meeting your increased, protein, fiber, iron, calcium, and folate needs.
  • Meals that are quick and easy to prepare.
  • Grab-and-go finger food and snack options.
  • Recipes that can be bulk-cooked and frozen for later.
  • Plenty of ginger-containing recipes to soothe your tummy.
  • Limited heartburn-inducing ingredients.
  • No high-risk foods, such as raw fish and undercooked eggs and meats.
