Breastfeeding? Get these 10 one-handed super-snacks into your kitchen, fast

There is no hunger quite like that of a breastfeeding mum, but when you've only got one hand free, you need food you can grab, eat and manoeuvre while you're cradling your baby.

Sounds easy, right? Eh, not exactly. We've compiled a list of one-handed, no-cook, no-fork, multi-tasking snacks for that insatiable appetite. Here's our top 10: 1 Fruit Apples, grapes, berries, cherry tomatoes, olives – healthy and easy to eat, these guys are your new best friends. Remember to pre-wash so you don’t have to negotiate the kitchen sink while nursing. 2 Cheese If you're a fellow cheese fiend, now's the time to make up for lost time after time apart from certain cheeses. Either cut into bite-sized pieces when you've got two hands free, or try prepackaged cheese cubes for an easy snack that you can grab from the fridge and eat one-handed. 3 Dips Hummous, guacamole, salsa, pâté, cottage cheese, ricotta – so much choice and all ready-to-go. The only thing you need is something to dip them with. 4 Crudités (vegetable sticks) Carrots, cucumber sticks, celery and peppers are all great for dipping. We especially love the bags of carrot batons – no peeling and chopping = fuss-free. 5 Bread Also great for dipping. Opt for mini pitta bread or pre-sliced, rather than the large loaves that need cutting. 6 Popcorn Add a movie to this cinemagoer's snack and you're all set. 7 Meat Parma ham, chorizo, pepperoni - cold, cured, delicious and ready to be eaten. 8 Soup No bowl or spoon required when you stick it in a mug. 9 Crackers Mini rice cakes and Ryvita are easy to eat plus there's lots of different flavours to mix it up. 10 Granola Eat straight from the bag, or buy it in a bar. Great at breakfast time (or whenever), granola can be nutritious as well as delicious.
