Although sleep deprivation, hormonal shifts, and baby’s needs leave little time for new mothers to concentrate on eating well, good nutrition supports healing and recovery. Katie Bressack, a Los Angeles, Calif.-based certified holistic health coach, was already guiding women toward optimal nutritional health when she learned she was pregnant with twins. While she was prepared for her postpartum nutritional needs, she said many women are not.
“Eating in a way to support your body during postpartum is super beneficial for your mental, physical, and emotional health,” said Bressack. “Yet, conversations and information about postpartum nutritional importance are lacking.”
