Penny Update
For those of you who have been asking about my daughter Penny, she is now 5 months old and has tried her first food. I have started her on broccoli and I don’t think she is too impressed (see photo above).
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS BEING A NEW MUM
- When you are breastfeeding you are starving! I been sure to have healthy snacks around, otherwise I will just grab chocolate every time (I have also learned not to buy chocolate because I will eat it, haha). One of my snacks of choice has been our Banana Bread (recipe below). Other good snacks are a palm full of nuts and seeds or a piece fruit, full fat yoghurt, we also have a choc banana smoothie and protein ball recipe on our website, go to our home page and scroll down to find these recipes.
- It's more important than ever to prioritise your nutrition being a new mum means being sleep deprived, your body is depleted. I have prioritised eating well to keep my energy at a good place. I have made in particular soups, curries and stews and frozen them as well as had tuna, avocado and gluten free bread on hand for a quick lunch.
- Being sleep deprived really affects your sugar cravings which is why it is so important to have plenty of healthy food and snacks on hand!
- How amazing fresh air and a relaxing walk are for my physical and mental health.
- Water water water - water is life.
