Starting solids is such an exciting milestone in your baby’s journey! But if you’re wondering “How much should my baby actually eat?” — you’re not alone. Many parents worry about portion sizes, how much their baby should be eating, and whether they’re getting enough nutrients.

Whilst those first months of introducing new flavours and textures should be fun and hassle-free, it is also essential to prioritise nutrition to support their growth, development, and overall wellbeing.

Whether you are on your preconception journey, pregnant or postpartum, choosing a high quality prenatal supplement is crucial to ensure you and your baby are receiving the essential nutrients required.

During the third trimester as your baby starts to rapidly grow and develop, nutrition needs are at an all time high to ensure not just your baby is meeting their requirements, but also that you don’t become depleted yourself.

So many mamas are so focused on their high nutrient needs during pregnancy, but as soon as their baby is born it often all goes out the window. But did you know that your nutrient needs are even higher after your baby is born?

The World Health Organisation, Australian National Health, Australian Breastfeeding Association and Australian Medical Research Council all recommend exclusive breastfeeding for at least the first 6 months before introducing complementary foods. However, rather than meeting a certain age, it is important to wait until your mini is showing signs of developmental readiness.

When we hear the term "baby brain," many of us associate it with forgetfulness, clumsiness, and use it to blame the silly things we sometimes say. However, what if I told you that, beyond the quirks and occasional absent-mindedness, our brains undergo significant changes during pregnancy and birth, and these changes are actually making us smarter?

Many women begin their journey to motherhood having done no preparation at all for breastfeeding. It’s easy to think that breastfeeding will just come naturally, since it is natural after all. But for most women, this couldn’t be more incorrect. Breastfeeding is a skill that both mama and mini need to learn.

Now that we are well and truly into winter and there’s lots of runny noses getting about, it’s important to strengthen our little ones immune systems to reduce their chances of getting sick.

Nourishing and nutrient-dense foods have a big impact on the recovery and healing of a new mama. They provide much needed energy, help rebalance hormones, support the production of breastmilk as well as nourish your breastmilk with all the goodness.
