When I was there bed rest in the hospital With Liam, I started seeing an acupuncturist at the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine. While I was working on the pain, the acupuncturist asked me what the postpartum care plan was. I have to admit that I didn’t think about that. I thought I would hire a breastfeeding trainer or a night nurse if needed. He then asked the question again: “How do you take care of it yourself after giving birth? “I didn’t think about it. I thought I would try hard to hold on and survive. He suggested I try to keep acupuncture and read it. The first 40 days – The essential art of feeding the new mother Authors Heng Ou and Amely Greeven and Marisa Belger include postpartum care and advice for postpartum prescriptions. Let me tell you; I’m so glad I did both.
The first 40 days It is based on Ou’s experience with Zuo Yuezhi, a period of “closure” after childbirth, while new mothers stay home, focusing on healing and bonding with the baby, you guessed, in the first 40 days after birth. The book includes 60 simple and delicious recipes for curing soups; restocking meals and snacks; and soothing and breastfeeding reinforcement teak, all formulated to support the new mother’s special needs.
Since I had been in the hospital for a long time (and my sick husband was trying to reunite the house we had just moved into) I knew how to get me, not me, not ready for meals. So we hired a postpartum chef to make my breakfast and lunch. It is important to note here that, being the wife of my husband’s best friend, this service was being provided at a discounted rate. I know this service isn’t a luxury anyone can afford, but I can’t tell you how much I think every mom should have that support. A postpartum chef can help you start with postpartum recipes that help you produce milk and make easy snacks and snacks.

As I was writing this piece, I turned to Ou to see if he would offer some of his favorite recipes and tips, and of course! His book has been a huge success and has been around ever since MotherBees—A A small delivery of hand-delivered dishes from Ou’s kitchen to the porch of new moms all over Los Angeles. Not only can you request it delivery of postpartum food, but there are also packages fertility,pregnancy,immunity, and just broth!“Broth is the basis of postpartum eating, and having a deposit in the fridge or freezer becomes protective with the baby for the first few days,” Ou told me. “Heat a casserole of different broths and add a mixture of protein, vegetables and noodles. Voila! ”
I also reached out to Tiana Tenet and Jill Donenfeld for a deep immersion in postpartum food distribution Culinistak. Culinistas is a full-service private home cooking service that can also prepare and clean grocery stores after childbirth. “Our postnatal services everyone in the house is designed to be well-nourished and stressed, ”Tenet told me. We send a chef home twice a week to prepare dishes that are ready to eat from the fridge. That way, the mother is cared for and cared for as much as the baby. ”

A large part of postpartum care is forgotten. I hope that one day we will all get postpartum support services, such as a postpartum cook, a pelvic floor specialist, and a night nurse. Maybe we should start a new mother record? Having these tools can challenge your mother to get rid of sleep and so much more while feeding her body and baby. When the mother is supported, you can do what you need to do while caring for your newborn baby.
I think our natural tendency is to eat healthy postpartum as we recover, but there is more to it than just eating healthy. The types of foods we choose directly affect our recovery. Tara Sowlaty Lehre, chef, nutritionist, creator How you shine, and one of my favorite creators says that the best thing is “cold foods are not easy to digest in general, but when your body is trying to heal and produce milk, you want digestion to be as easy as possible with warm foods and to heal and nourish the body.”
So with that in mind, here are five postpartum recipes I personally experienced during the postpartum period. Think of being in your life for that new mom and I promise you, they will succeed.

Oats provide a constant flow of energy while encouraging breastfeeding and chia provides the necessary protein. You can also make a large batch in a slow cooker and it will freeze well as well.
Ingredients:
2 cups (180 g) rolled oats
1 1? 2 cups (235 g) cut oats in steel
1 inch (2.5 cm) fresh ginger, peeled and halved
A little sea salt
1/4 cup (40 g) chia seeds
1/2 cup (50 g) quinoa flakes (optional; add another 1/2 cup / 120 ml if you use water)
For accessories:
1 cup (240 ml) milk (or cream, coconut milk or walnut milk of your choice)
2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup or to taste
Fresh or frozen fruit or berries to serve (optional)
Chopped almonds or other nuts, to serve (optional)
Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 1/2 cups (1 L) to a boil over medium-high heat. Add and add the chopped oats, ginger and salt. Reduce heat to medium and let cook — covered three-quarters covered — for 10 minutes, then reduce to low heat and simmer for another 15 minutes; add more water if necessary, keeping an eye in the pot to prevent it from boiling. Add the chia seeds and quinoa flakes, if you use them, cook for the last 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, separating the seeds and flakes and adding to the mixture. When the grains are soft and creamy, and after absorbing most of the liquid, remove from the heat.
When ready to eat, serve with warm milk, coconut oil or butter, to taste the maple syrup, as well as fresh fruit and almonds if desired.
Possibility to freeze parts: After the conch is cooked (and chia seeds and quinoa are added), let cool on the stove. Soak the muffin jars in a cooking spray. Divide the cone into 1/2 cup (115 g) portions in the muffin tin cups. Freeze the flash for 4 or 5 hours or until firm. Rotate or tap each serving and place in large plastic zip bags. When ready to eat, add one or two in a saucepan with a little milk or water and heat for 3 to 4 minutes, uncovered. It serves 6.
Ginger has so many advantages in postpartum care. It helps to warm the body and calm indigestion. Plus, rice carbs give you a little boost of energy. I like to call this food a small part of a comfortable food that is sweet and filling.

Now we all know that you need to eat healthy but sometimes you need a candy to move forward and calm your cravings. That was when the craving hit me. Cocoa is known on its own as a powerful heart opener. Combined with the rose that seems to bring love, healing, and compassion, this hot chocolate can also be a time to give yourself some time and make a beautiful affirmation. If you are giving away ingredients from one of these postpartum recipes to a new mom, pick up a cheerful note to upload.
As mentioned earlier, the basic essence of postpartum broth recovery is the superfood for breast recovery. Bone broth supports healthy brain function, combats fatigue and supports skin and joints, as hormone levels are balanced after childbirth. We posted it a guide to making your own bone broth at home“Trust us, it’s easier than you think!”
One of my favorite postpartum recipes was meatballs; they really mark all the squares! From flaxseed digestion aid, oats to milk production, green healing, and vitamins that support the immune system. Needless to say, they are very easy to make in large batches to freeze and heat as needed.
