The postpartum period brings major physical and emotional changes for new moms. While caring for a newborn is difficult, it's critical that mothers focus on replenishing their bodies after pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.

Most postpartum resources focus on how to care for the baby, but The Postpartum Nutrition Cookbook-written by registered dietitians Diana Licalzi and Ashley Reaver-prioritises the mom's self-care first. This book guides new moms through recovery during the fourth trimester, highlighting key nutrients needed to heal and restore their bodies.

The Postpartum Nutrition Cookbook features:

• 100+ simple, delicious recipes catered to postpartum nutrient needs
• Make-ahead breakfasts, one-handed lunches, and set-it-and-forget-it dinners
• Helpful trackers, grocery shopping lists and targeted nutrition advice
• Easy meal-prepping tips and techniques for busy new moms
• Guidance on making self-care and proper nutrition a priority

This one-of-a-kind resource equips new moms with everything they need to nourish themselves and their families in the critical postpartum period. Friends, relatives, or partners can also use this guide when looking to support a new mother with nourishing meals and self-care. Consider it a trusted companion during the challenging but precious early weeks and months of motherhood.
