Hey mama-to-be! 🤰 Isn't it amazing how your body's creating this tiny miracle?

I know pregnancy can feel overwhelming sometimes, but let's talk about keeping you and your little one healthy with some key nutrients (trust me, it's simpler than you think!) 👇

🥬 Folate

Think of folate as your baby’s little superhero—it helps prevent neural tube defects and supports a healthy brain and spinal cord.

✨ How to get it: Sneak more leafy greens, lentils, citrus fruits, or fortified cereals into your meals. Even a quick spinach smoothie works wonders!

🥩 Iron

Feeling extra tired? Your body’s working overtime to make blood for two! Iron is your go-to for energy and baby’s growth.

✨ How to get it: Add lean meats, tofu, or beans to your meals. Pair them with vitamin C-rich foods (like a squeeze of lemon or some orange slices) to help your body absorb it better.

🐟 Omega-3s

These healthy fats are like brain food for your baby, supporting their brain and eye development. Bonus? They might lower your risk of preterm birth.

✨How to get it: Enjoy some salmon, toss walnuts on your salad, or sprinkle chia seeds into your morning yogurt. Easy and delicious!

Eating well during pregnancy doesn’t have to be overwhelming—it’s about small, intentional choices.

✨ Want to feel fully prepared for labour, birth, and beyond?

Join the Getting Ready for Labour Masterclass—your go-to guide for confident, informed pregnancy and postpartum prep.

🎉 You’re getting ready for a baby—exciting, right? 🎉

But while you’ve probably nailed the cute stuff (hello, tiny outfits and Pinterest-worthy nurseries 😍), are you prepared for what really matters?

Sure, the perfect pram is great, but what about YOU?

Your body, mind, and energy deserve just as much care as your baby’s nursery.

Mama, here’s who’s got your back:

🩺 A women’s health physio can help you strengthen your pelvic floor, ease pregnancy discomfort, and prepare your body for recovery.
.
🥗 A dietitian ensures you’re eating right for energy, a healthy pregnancy to prevent chronic diseases in your child later in life, building your nutrient stores up for a smooth breastfeeding and easier postpartum recovery.

🤱 A lactation consultant provides tips and support to know what to do to make those early feeding days less overwhelming.

🧠 A perinatal psychologist helps you stay emotionally strong and navigate the transition to motherhood with confidence.

Remember, the best gift you can give your baby is a well-prepared YOU. 💛

✨ That’s why I created the Getting Ready for Labour Masterclass.

With 16 videos and a workbook, this class covers everything from birth techniques and pain management to nutrition, baby sleep, breastfeeding, and perinatal mental health. It’s the ultimate prep for labour and a great step into my Postnatal Roadmap membership.

Did you know that the connection you form with you

Did you know that the connection you form with your bub through breastfeeding, supports emotional, social, and even physical development, like jaw strength and speech skills? 👶

Breastfeeding is so much more than nourishment—it’s a powerful way to bond with your baby 🤱 These moments provide not only essential nutrients but also love, comfort, and a deep sense of security for your little one. 💕

The simple act of feeding fosters closeness through skin-to-skin contact, eye contact, and shared rhythms.

Mums, I see you navigating the challenges—those sleepless nights, latching struggles, and moments of doubt. But every feed is a step in building your baby’s world of love and trust. 💪

On tough days, take a deep breath and remember: it’s not just about feeding; it’s about connection. Cherish these fleeting moments—they’re creating a bond that will last a lifetime. 🌟

Ever wonder if dietitians have a perfect pregnancy

Ever wonder if dietitians have a perfect pregnancy and breastfeeding diet?

Spoiler alert: We don’t. But we do make a few intentional choices to keep things simple and healthy 😉

During pregnancy:

🚫 High-mercury fish: Mercury can affect baby’s brain development. Safer options? Salmon, sardines, or canned light tuna.

🚫 Unpasteurised foods: Not worth the listeria risk! I just make sure my cheese and dairy are pasteurised (yes, I still get my cheese fix! 🧀)

🚫 Excessive caffeine: Keep it under 200mg a day (about one cup of coffee).

🚫 Avoid alcohol: To prevent harm to your developing baby, drinking alcohol when planning a pregnancy or when pregnant should be avoided.

While breastfeeding:

🚫 Highly processed foods: These can zap your energy and impact milk quality.

🚫 Certain medications: Avoid unless they’re approved for breastfeeding. Always check trusted resources like LactMed or consult your doctor.

🚫 Gassy or spicy foods: These might upset baby's tummy (learned this one the hard way!)

🚫 Alcohol: The safest choice for your baby is not drinking alcohol while breastfeeding. A small trade-off for peace of mind!

Here's the thing - this isn't about being perfect or following strict rules. It's about finding what works for YOU and your little one. 💕. Balance is key! 💪

POV: When I ask my third-trimester mums if they’ve thought about fuelling for labour…

and they look at me like I just asked them to run a marathon 🏃‍♀️😅

But seriously, labour IS like a marathon, and you wouldn’t show up to a race without fuel, right? 🥪🍎

Here’s the deal:

✨ Carbs = energy to keep you going.
✨ Electrolytes = hydration to power through.
✨ Protein = steady, sustained strength.

Think small, easy-to-digest meals and snacks:

✔️ Energy bites
✔️ Granola bars
✔️ Fruit
✔️ Coconut water

Not hungry? No problem! A sip of an electrolyte drink or a light snack can still help.

Even if you’re planning a C-section, fuelling beforehand can aid your recovery. 💪

Don’t leave it to the last minute—prepping now makes all the difference! Ready to learn more?

Summer 24/25 ☀️⛱️🌊🎉❤️
I love the opportunities my beautiful family provide to get off the grid and be the calm in the storms of my life. Teaching my son life skills, new adventures, learning about nature, stretching his risk taking in a safe environment and being positive male role models.

Thank you God 🙏🏻 My heart is full 🥰

❌ Myth: "If your baby has food allergies, you ha

❌ Myth: "If your baby has food allergies, you have to stop breastfeeding or completely eliminate major food groups."

💪 The Truth: Breastfeeding is often the best option for babies with food allergies.

It can support their immune system and even reduce the severity of allergic reactions over time. 🌟

Here’s what you need to know:

✅ You often don’t need to cut out entire food groups unless medically advised. A Dietitian trained in allergies, like myself, can guide you if your baby shows signs of a reaction.

✅ Breast milk offers immune support and may help protect against future food sensitivities.

✅ True food allergy reactions from breastfeeding are rare—there are many foods you eat that won’t affect your baby but it can be scary and confusing about what to do and what to eat.

Confused about what to do? 🤔

I’ve put together a detailed blog just for you, mama!

Comment or DM ‘ALLERGY’ and I’ll send the link straight to your inbox! ✨
