Your nutrition needs shift the second your baby ar

Your nutrition needs shift the second your baby arrives. Pregnancy is about building… postpartum is about recovering and replenishing what your body just used to grow and deliver a baby.🤰👶🏻

Here are the five biggest changes that matter most:

1️⃣ More ZINC for healing
Zinc is essential for tissue repair, immune recovery, and your mood. Vaginal birth or C-section, your body just experienced a major physical event. Foods like red meat, organ meats, shellfish, pumpkin seeds, and beans help rebuild depleted stores.

2️⃣ More ~electrolytes~ for hydration + milk production
Postpartum hydration hits completely differently. Your fluid needs jump — especially if you’re breastfeeding — and plain water won’t keep up. Sodium, potassium, and magnesium support milk supply, energy, and overall recovery.

3️⃣ Easy-to-digest meals!
Your gut is still recalibrating after pregnancy and delivery. Simple, warm, nourishing meals like soups, stews, cooked veggies, oats, rice, and slow-cooked meats support digestion while your organs settle back into place.

4️⃣ Intentional mineral repletion ✨
Pregnancy and birth decrease stores of sodium, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. Replenishing these helps stabilize mood, energy, muscle function, and blood pressure — all essential for postpartum healing.

5️⃣ Higher overall calorie needs (especially if breastfeeding)
Your energy needs often increase above pregnancy levels in the early postpartum period. Healing, milk production, and disrupted sleep all raise your calorie demands. Undereating is extremely common and can impact recovery, mood, and milk supply!

💛 Your postpartum body has different needs than your pregnant body. Supporting those shifts makes healing smoother and energy more sustainable.
