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

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!
