ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What should you actually be eating after having a baby - and how often? In this postpartum nutrition Q&A, we’re answering your most common (and sometimes surprising) questions about nourishing your body during recovery and breastfeeding.
I’m joined again by prenatal nutrition expert Lily Nichols to break down practical, evidence-based insights on postpartum healing, energy, and milk production - without the overwhelm.
In this episode, we cover:
- Whether freezing raw liver into “pills” is safe (and better alternatives)
- How often you should eat while breastfeeding—and why hunger can feel constant
- The role of protein, fat, and blood sugar balance in postpartum energy
- Are electrolytes helpful for breastfeeding moms? (and how to use them)
- Why bone broth is a traditional postpartum staple across cultures
- The science behind collagen and postpartum healing
- Vegetarian alternatives to bone broth for postpartum recovery
This episode is designed to help you make intentional, informed choices about postpartum nutrition - so you can support your recovery, your milk supply, and your overall wellbeing.
Whether you're preparing for postpartum or already in it, this conversation will help you feel more grounded, nourished, and supported.
