postpartum foods - frozen and leftover results

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends -

 

Im reminded again how common is the use of preprepared foods, whether

as leftovers, or intentionally frozen meals to ensure enough

" nutritious " foods for mom and family after Baby is born.

 

A client just today whom I thought was well educated in Ayurveda is

asking in one breath if I can tell if their baby has colic. In the

next sentance, saying I don't need to come cook as her husband and

friends will have food pre-prepared for her while he is out of town.

 

There will be much educating to do when we meet on Saturday, as is

usually the case with mothers. It isn't so easy when they are already

a few weeks postpartum, as colic from dietary factors will show up

after about 3 weeks poor habits.

 

What digests just fine, freshly prepared, even if the best simple and

properly seasoned food choices for postpartum needs, after a day is

pretty guaranteed to give gas to Mom and Baby, and start the cycle of

buildup of ama - incomplete products of digestion, constipation, and

related problems which can accumulate into colic.

 

For happy tummies,

Ysha
