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!

There are a lot of transitions that happen after your baby turns one. Toda, I’m diving into the nutritional needs of toddlers aged 1 to 2, a crucial stage often overshadowed by infancy and picky eating concerns that happen in toddlerhood.

From caloric requirements to balanced meals, we explore the transition from baby feeding to toddler feeding, emphasizing the importance of healthy fats for brain development and the AAP's recommendations on limiting added sugar and salt.

I break down the daily calorie intake, highlighting the challenge of providing nutrient-rich options within a toddler's limited appetite while offering practical guidance for incorporating a variety of foods into your toddler’s diet. This episode helps you figure out WHAT to feed your toddler and what nutrients to focus on for optimal growth and development.

As parents, we know introducing allergens is important when starting solid foods, whether using purees or doing baby-led weaning. Did you know that continued exposure is equally as important? In this episode of Baby Food for Busy Moms, I interview Jessica Enderle, RDN, from Baby Food and Fun. Jessica is a registered dietitian and infant feeding technician who has a passion for feeding education throughout a baby’s first year and food safety.

Jessica and I talk about the best time to start allergens, how to prioritize introduction, and ways to make allergen exposure less overwhelming. She also shares her personal story of her son’s reaction to eggs and how her family handled it. Tune in for tangible tips for introduction and easy ways to keep allergens in your baby, toddler, and preschooler’s diet.
