Nutritional Support for Postpartum Moms with Jeanne Reilly, RD, from I Am Nurtured

Baby Food for Busy Moms

We all know the nutrients baby’s get from breastmilk or baby formula are crucial for the wellbeing of our baby. But what about nutrition for the postpartum mom? Today I am interviewing Jeanne Reilly, a registered dietitian, the mom of two, and the co-founder of I Am Nurtured Prenatal and Postnatal vitamins.

Were you like me in pregnancy? All my plans for a “real food pregnancy” were thrown out the window. I could barely handle my prenatal gummy. I preferred convenience food during my postpartum period and found myself eating lots of noodle packs from Costco because they were super easy. I had big hormonal shifts postpartum and didn’t feel like myself for a long time.

We spend 40 weeks growing a baby. That means our sweet little babies were “sharing” our nutrients. I invited Jeanne on to talk about how to nourish ourselves during the postpartum period and to give tips when we have no energy, but desire to eat a bit healthier.

This episode is for breastfeeding and formula-feeding moms!
