Did you know that postpartum nutrition looks different than nutrition before and during pregnancy? Hunger can skyrocket if you are breastfeeding, and food restrictions loosen up (allowing incorporation of ALL those foods you missed!). This can be challenging for some, especially if there is a goal to lose weight after delivering. However, it is vital to properly fuel your body especially if you are breastfeeding. This means feeling confident in meeting all of your nutrient requirements WITHOUT feeling hungry or restricted. That is why Rebekah Culp, MS, RDN, LD has created the Comprehensive Lactation + Postpartum Nutrition Guide. In this resource you will find information on how to build a healthy plate, the best way to lose weight, key nutrients for lactation, general food safety and more! Most importantly, all of the content is tailored to postpartum and lactation needs – so you can get information that is applicable to your specific life stage.
Check out the parent resources for more information. If you are interested in a more tailored, one-on-one approach to your postpartum nutrition, you can schedule a nutrition consult with one of our Registered Dietitians today to help you reach your goals by emailing nutrition@hopefeedsbabies.com.
