‘Eat to Feed’ is the book to order for yourself immediately if you are planning to breastfeed

Eat to Feed book

Are you a breastfeeding mum?

Or planning to breastfeed once your baby arrives?

Then you should really do yourself a massive favour and order this amazing book as a little gift – call it an investment in yourself and your baby – immediately.

Anyone who has ever been breastfeeding knows that the early days are crazy. You are wrecked tired, you are leaking from everywhere. You can’t remember your own flipping name, chances are. And can we all admit it – eating well can be hard enough as it is, never mind when you are also trying to keep a newborn alive.

As well as this, many breastfeeding mums, especially in the beginning, struggle with low milk supply, an issue that can also present itself several months into breastfeeding, as your baby’s demand changes.

However, in this gorgeous cookbook, a debut book for founders of the Oat Mama range of lactation products Eliza Larson and Kristy Kohler, the pair are sharing more than 100 simple, delicious recipes for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, desserts, snacks and beverages. All the recipes feature nutrient-dense whole foods and naturally lactogenic (milk-boosting) ingredients such as oats, almonds, barley, fenugreek, and papaya.

“Excellent resource for lactating mamas. The recipes are unique, fresh and are very easy to prep (as time is very precious when you have a newborn). Love this company and this book is a MUST have for mamas that plan on or are currently breastfeeding. There are so many great recipes and it is quite handy to adapt recipes to your preference if you are out of an ingredient. Made the fennel salad with honey mustard vinegrette and it was amazing! If you’re on the fence about it, buy this. It’s definitely worth a read and saves so much time looking for lactation friendly recipes on Pinterest!”- From a review on Amazon ?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At Oat Mama we believe in nourishing the mother in the house so she can nourish the rest of the family.

Alongside the recipes, mums will find helpful breastfeeding tips and advice on easy meal prep, building a healthy pantry, and sourcing ingredients.

The photography in the book is utterly gorgeous too, tempting you into trying them out in your own kitchen.

In other words, a warm, supportive, and inspiring resource for new mothers and mothers-to-be – and maybe the perfect gift for someone’s very first Mother’s Day?
