Prenatal & Postpartum Nutrition
Pregnancy nutrition advice tends to arrive as a list of prohibitions. What is more useful is knowing what to prioritize — iron, choline, iodine, omega-3s, and adequate protein all do measurable work, and most people hear far less about them than about soft cheese.
Postpartum tends to get almost no attention at all, which is backwards. Recovery, and breastfeeding if you are doing it, place real demands on the body at exactly the moment you have the least capacity to cook. That gap is worth planning for before it arrives.
