Post natal nutrition

After the birth your body needs to adjust once more whilst also continuing to feed your baby. Nature has a way of prioritising the baby when it comes to high value nutrients so you will need to top up on certain things like essential fats and pure water. The baby gets it’s immunity from you so taking a probiotic can be very helpful during breastfeeding and if your baby was delivered through caesarean you may consider giving these directly to your baby, you must seek advice from a qualified Nutritionist before you do any of this. During breastfeeding you will also need to drink extra water because your baby will be taking some away in the breast milk.

For you, nutritional therapy will help support your energy levels and help your body get back into great condition. It can help address and prevent problems in breastfeeding like sore nipples and increasing lactation. It will also bring some support to other related conditions like post natal depression.

For your baby, nutritional therapy can help address common conditions such as allergies, skin problems and colic. Nutrition will continue to play a vital role in their health and development. From the intial weening to establishing a healthy approach to eating that will stay with them for life.

Nourishing the body in the right way boosts the immune system and protects you from illness.
