Boob to Food - The Podcast

So you have your bub’s nutrition covered with milk feeds… but what about your own? In the final episode of our world breastfeeding week mini series we cover all things nourishing yourself while breastfeeding.
For those who are tuning in for the first time, a little about us…

• Luka McCabe – founder of Boob to Food, author of Milk to Meals, registered nurse and midwife, as well as mum of 3
• Kate Holm – naturopath, nutritionist, clinical director of Boob to Food and mum of 3

In this podcast we discuss

• Why it is important for mums to focus on their own nutrition
• Key nutrients to focus on including commons deficiencies and nutrient changes in breastmilk
• Whether it is important to avoid certain foods
• … and so much more!
