Ep. 21: Postnatal Nutrition with Jaren Soloff RD, IBCLC

This week on the boobingit podcast we talk all about the importance of eating well when recovering from birth and breastfeeding. My special guest is Registered Dietician and Lactation Consultant Jaren Soloff, who recently brought out her first book  ‘The Postnatal Cookbook: Simple and Nutritional Recipes to Nourish Your Body and Spirit During the Fourth Trimester’.

During our chat we discuss the importance of eating well postnatally and how it can impact our mental and physical recovery from birth and throughout the fourth trimester.

We look at realistic ways new parents can keep their energy up with snacks and convenient meals that don't necessarily need to be made from scratch. Jaren also lists really helpful tips on how others can support us in meal planning and prep!

Jaren and I also talk about how tricky relationships with food, body and weight can manifest after having a baby, with Jaren offering ways people can look after their mental state in the best possible way during this key transitional time. Jaren also touches on her own recovery from an eating disorder and how her mental state was impacted after becoming a mother.

You can purchase Jaren's Postnatal Cookbook book now via Amazon.
