Overcome your challenges with postpartum nutrition

There's plenty of advice on what to eat during pregnancy, but it seems like the spotlight on nutrition often dims after delivery. Yet, postpartum nutrition is crucial for both your health and your baby's, especially if you're breastfeeding.

However, new moms often face challenges in getting the nutrition they need due to various reasons such as:

  • A loss of appetite after giving birth
  • Surgery
  • Experience postpartum depression
  • Recovery from pain
  • Fatigue
  • Digestive problems like constipation
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Not enough guidance or support with meal planning and preparation.

What to look for in a postpartum nutritionist

Benefits of working with a Fay Postpartum Nutritionist

1

Covered by your insurance

It's wonderful that many health plans now include nutrition counseling, and at Fay, our postpartum nutritionists accept all major health plans. A quick search on our website makes it super easy for you to check if you’re covered. For most of our clients, seeing a dietitian costs nothing or as little as $10. It’s a convenient and affordable way to get tailored nutritional guidance that supports your health after delivery.

2

Virtual or in-person visits

After delivering a baby, you're already juggling doctor's visits, baby care, household tasks, and possibly the needs of other children. It's completely understandable if you can't manage in-person visits to a dietitian. Fortunately, Fay's postpartum dietitians are available online and can meet at times that suit you, right from the comfort of your living room. This convenience makes it easier to get the right nutritional support you need after delivery.

3

Improve your relationship with food

Hormonal imbalances and fatigue can make it challenging to maintain balanced meals post-delivery, often leading to cravings for sugary, salty, or fatty snacks. While it's okay to indulge occasionally, relying on these less nutritious foods for comfort or energy can be a sign you might need help managing emotional eating. A postpartum nutritionist at Fay can guide you towards healthier eating habits, help you handle emotional eating triggers, and support you in building a better relationship with food.

4

Ongoing support

Sticking to a nutritious diet after delivery is tough with the exhaustion and new responsibilities of caring for a baby often leading to quick, less healthy food choices. Ongoing support from a postpartum dietitian can make a big difference, offering practical nutrition strategies and emotional support to ensure you and your baby get the necessary nutrients.

Why is it hard to get the postpartum diet you need?

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding increases your need for calories and essential nutrients to maintain a healthy milk supply for your baby, and can burn up to 500 extra calories a day. It can be tricky to ensure you're getting enough protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats on your own. Plus, it's important to monitor key nutrients like calcium and vitamin C, and to know which foods to avoid while breastfeeding.

Low energy and fatigue

It’s common to feel fatigue as you recover from childbirth, adjust to new nutritional needs, and manage the emotional challenges of postpartum hormones, and even depression. The constant demands of newborn care and possibly other children only add to the exhaustion. A postpartum dietitian can make it easier for you to navigate your nutrition during this time, so you can fuel up, heal, and gain more energy to do the activities you want and need to do.

Fighting the ‘baby blues’

1 in 7 women experience postpartum depression, marked by persistent sadness, mood swings, sleep difficulties, and sometimes, a hard time bonding with the baby. This condition can make it tough to maintain a healthy diet, especially if you're feeling overwhelmed with tasks like grocery shopping, stocking the fridge, and preparing meals. Regular online sessions with a postpartum nutritionist, along with mental health counseling, can simplify getting the nutrients you need without the extra stress of traveling for appointments.

Weight loss

Looking to lose weight after pregnancy? Weight gain during pregnancy varies with your health and lifestyle choices like exercise and diet. It may take 6 months to a year to return to your pre-pregnancy weight, but it's important to focus on safe, healthy weight loss. This not only maintains your overall health but also lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other issues. A Registered Dietitian (RD) can guide you on safe, effective weight loss methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a postpartum nutritionist or dietitian help after birth?

A postpartum nutritionist or dietitian can be incredibly helpful after birth. They offer personalized advice on how to meet your nutritional needs as you recover and adjust to life with a new baby. Whether it's ensuring you're getting enough calories, especially if you're breastfeeding, or managing weight in a healthy way, a dietitian provides the support and guidance needed to keep you and your baby healthy. They can also help address any dietary concerns or questions you might have during this transformative time.

Can diet and nutrition help with postpartum depression?

Yes, diet and nutrition can play a significant role in managing postpartum depression. Eating a balanced diet helps stabilize mood, provides energy, and can lessen some symptoms of depression. Nutrient-rich foods, especially those high in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, support brain health and overall well-being. While it's not a cure-all, maintaining good nutrition can be a helpful component of a broader treatment plan for postpartum depression.

Do Fay dietitians accept my insurance?

Fay dietitians accept all major health insurance providers, making it easy for you to access the nutritional counseling you need. Most health plans cover nutritional counseling, so there's a good chance you may not have to pay anything for your sessions. This makes it both convenient and cost-effective to get personalized dietary advice and support from qualified professionals. You can check your insurance coverage right from the Fay website.

Does Fay have online or virtual dietitians and nutritionists that can help with postpartum nutrition?

Yes, Fay offers online sessions with dietitians and nutritionists who are flexible and can work according to your schedule. This is especially helpful when you're busy and tired from postpartum recovery and caring for your baby. Getting healthy advice and support is made easier and more accessible, allowing you to focus on your recovery and your new little one without added stress.

All about postpartum nutrition

What is the best postpartum diet?

The ideal postpartum diet includes balanced amounts of protein, whole grains, fiber-rich veggies and fruits, and healthy fats. Even if you're not breastfeeding, it's crucial to keep carbs in your diet for enough energy and recovery fuel. The Mediterranean diet is a great example of a balanced approach. If you have conditions like diabetes or nutritional deficiencies, or would like to get personalized advice, a postpartum dietitian can tailor the right diet for your needs.

What are the best foods to eat postpartum?

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a breastfeeding woman needs 2,300-2,500 calories a day. If you’re not, you need about 1,800-2,000 calories.

Here are general guidelines on what to eat postpartum:

  • Lean protein: Chicken or turkey breast, fish, eggs, and plant-based proteins like beans.
  • Whole vegetables: Try to incorporate a wide range of vegetables into your diet (think different colors of the rainbow on your plate during the week). Make sure you include leafy greens like spinach to boost iron levels.
  • Whole fruit: Ideally, it's great to include a wide variety of fruits in your diet. However, if you're short on time, simply grab an apple a day or a handful of blueberries.
  • Whole grains: Oatmeal (select steel-cut, not instant) or brown rice.
  • Healthy fats: Egg yolks, avocados, nuts, and seeds, and oils like olive oil.

Foods to avoid postpartum

Whether you're breastfeeding or not, it's a good idea to cut back on ultra-processed foods high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats. Try to limit caffeine to 1-2 cups of coffee or tea per day and reduce alcohol intake, especially if breastfeeding.

If you are nursing, you might also want to avoid high-mercury fish like marlin and bigeye tuna. Depending on your specific needs, there could be other foods to steer clear of. A postpartum nutrition expert can help tailor the best diet for you.

Foods that might help with postpartum depression

Along with mental health counseling, your postpartum diet can impact symptoms of depression, which may stem from hormonal shifts after childbirth, existing mental conditions, higher stress levels, and your overall diet and lifestyle.

Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like cod liver oil, anchovies, flaxseeds, and chia seeds, may help alleviate symptoms. If needed, discuss omega-3 supplements with your doctor or postpartum nutritionist.

Additionally, due to the link between low Vitamin D levels and depression, your dietitian might recommend sunlight exposure, egg yolks, or fortified foods.

Postpartum meal delivery services

If you do not have the time or support required to shop for, prep, and cook regular balanced meals, you could consider a postpartum meal delivery service for you and your family. There are various options available and several can cater to your food preferences, intolerances, or allergies.

Here are some well-known brands of postpartum meal delivery services:

  • Mama Meals
  • Daily harvest
  • Kitchen Doula
  • Spoonful of Comfort
  • Chiyo (based on Eastern principles for pregnancy and postpartum care)

If you want a break from frozen meals, consider looking for local options who can deliver hot meal packages tailored for postpartum nutrition.

Postpartum hydration tips

Did you know 75% of your baby's weight is water? During the postpartum period, especially if you're breastfeeding, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends drinking 3.8 liters (about one gallon or 16 cups) of fluids daily.

You can vary your water intake with options like plain water, water with a slice of lime, milk, soup, broths, or herbal non-caffeinated teas. A postpartum dietitian can help you ensure you’re getting the right amount of water and nutrients.
