The Postpartum Nutrition Cookbook

An absolute MUST HAVE. I bought a copy for my daughter and we cooked most of the recipes in the book. We can honestly say that every single one was absolutely delicious. I love that there are 6 different cooking plans with shopping lists to make a bunch of meals for the freezer at one time. I like this but so much that I bought one for my 67 year-old self! If the recipes are healthy enough for a postpartum mother, they’ve gotta be healthy for my husband and myself also.

Bought this book as a gift for my friend expecting her first. Thinking of purchasing a second because I loved some of the meal ideas! Super practical and useful

The book that came had splatters of something on it as if it had been previously opened even though I ordered a new one but the recipes look delicious and nutritious! Haven’t tried them yet but I’ve put post its on just about every page!

I am 6 months postpartum and this cook book has been such a life saver. As a new mom it has been so helpful to have recipes and knowledge about what my body is going through/needs through this crazy incredible journey! Cannot recommend enough.

I already made 3 dishes from this cookbook, all very easy to follow. My freezer now has stock of pasta sauce and I just made this Ramen in less than 30 min. More to follow. Oh, and I appreciate the "She ain't a virgin Pina Colada" recipe LOL

My sister had her baby recently, and I wanted to get her something truly helpful. She’s been raving about this cookbook! She said the meals are easy to prepare, even when she’s short on time, and she loves the shopping lists. This gift has made such a positive impact on her postpartum recovery—it’s worth every penny!

I am currently 3 months PP and a friend recommended the cookbook to me. I purchased it, and just read through it tonight. As you can see from the photo, I folded almost every page as a recipe I want to try! Everything in the book looks so good, lots of recommended substitutions for me as I am a vegetarian, and lots of information about what nourishing elements eat meal has.There are also grocery lists, meal plans and so much more. This is an excellent gift for anyone expecting a baby as it also has ways to prep your freezer with meals. I purchased 3 more copies for people I know who are expecting.

This cookbook not only provides delicious and healing recipes, but it also provides a wealth of valuable information for postpartum moms! To be honest, these recipes are so good that everyone would benefit from having this cookbook on hand - postpartum or not. This would also make a great baby shower gift!! I wish I had had these recipes to meal prep before giving birth, and I will certainly be using it weekly going forward to meal prep for myself and my family!Thank you Diana and Ashley for creating this amazing cookbook - there was such a need for something like this!!!!P.s. the authors even have an Instagram page that you can follow, where they share even more info and recipes! @postpartum.nutrition

For me, to both ENJOY and actually USE a cookbook, it must include simple recipes with accessible ingredients. This cookbook has that and more! It also helps that it includes beautiful photos of the finished meals!As a new mom (with a 2-month old) who is ready to get back into the kitchen and begin preparing her own meals again, it’s important that the meals are easy to prepare and nourishing for my postpartum body. Knowing that the authors are registered dietitian nutritionists (and, as a bonus, are also mothers to little ones) gives me comfort as I make and eat these meals, particularly as a breastfeeding mom. Lastly, knowing that this book was reviewed by an OBGYN and includes helpful postpartum guidance was the icing on the cake for me!If you’re pregnant, postpartum, have young kids, or simply want to make easy, nutritious, and delicious meals, get this cookbook! Or gift it to a loved one. I’m excited to try all these recipes!

As a registered dietitian and mom, I am so excited about this book. Chock full of evidence-based nutrition information and creative, mouth-watering, and nutrient-dense recipes, this is a must have resource for postpartum individuals! I was gifted a copy of this book but will definitely be purchasing as a gift for expecting parents.

The book is so much more than just an incredible cookbook—it’s a complete guide to feeling good again. From meal-planning tips to shopping lists, it has everything you need to make self-care achievable in the postpartum period. Every new mom should have this in her

This cookbook is an absolute treasure! I found the nutrition tips and recipe ideas incredibly helpful. The one-handed meals and make-ahead options fit perfectly into my busy days. My personal favorites are the eggless “egg” cups and the blender blueberry muffins - so simple and so delicious! It’s clear this book was created by professionals who understand what new moms need. I’ll be gifting this to all my friends who are expecting!

I bought this cookbook as a gift for a close friend after she had her baby, and she’s found it so valuable. She loves how each recipe is focused on healing and restoring her energy, and she keeps telling me how easy it’s made meal planning for her. I’ll definitely be giving this as a gift to all the new moms in my life!

The Postpartum Nutrition Cookbook is packed with everything a new mom needs to nourish herself. I love the detailed nutrition information, which helped me feel confident about my recovery. Every recipe is simple, delicious and so nourishing. I love having this book to guide me through postpartum recovery. The very first recipe I tried out was the Spinach Artichoke Pasta and it was absolutely delicious!! I can't wait to work my way through all the recipes in the book

I have used this book myself to plan frozen meals before having babies and have gifted it to many friends. It is easy, accessible, and user friendly for husbands MIL and friends to open up and make an easy healthy meal for a postpartum mom

I recommend this book to everyone I know that’s expecting now! My family used it to make freezer meals for us and we used it a lot in the first several months post partum for quick easy nutritious meals.

Love the variety of recipes!

Book looks great, however arrived with a massive stain on the front cover and several page corners turned.

I bought this book to cook for my daughter after giving birth. I like the recipes. They are delicious and the whole family benefits and enjoy the food. Highly recommended.

Wow. This cookbook is absolutely incredible! I was given it at my baby shower and it will no doubt be a go-to baby shower gift for me to give out in the future too! As a former personal trainer and fitness person, eating well for my body's needs during and after pregnancy is very high on my list of priorities. This cookbook explains the what and the why and provides TONS of amazing, tasty recipes (that are easy to make) to accomplish your nutritional goals. The content is very digestible and well-researched.Even though my baby isn't "here" yet, I've taken some time to make a lot of the recipes to try them out - they've all be DELICIOUS and SO EASY/FAST to make. I particularly appreciate that it's broken down into freezer meals, make ahead meals, snacks, mocktails, etc. so you can decide what you want to make based on the time/bandwidth you have and interests.Seriously - do your post-partum self a favor and get this book. Then promptly make the lactation coconut almond cookies to eat while you read ;)!

Great meal ideas for freezer meals postpartum

Information in the book looks good however I ordered a new copy and it looked used. Sticky fingerprints on the cover and the front cover was bent open.Had to check and see if I'd ordered a second had version.

I bought this book for three of my nieces, and since so much attention is focused on the baby after birth, it's nice to have a gift that also focuses on the mom.

I recently purchased this postpartum cookbook, and although I’m still pregnant, I’ve already started making many of the recipes—and I couldn’t be more impressed! The recipes are not only absolutely delicious but also incredibly easy to prepare, which has been such a relief during this busy time.My husband has been helping with most of the cooking since he’ll likely be the one preparing meals for me once the baby arrives. He’s found the instructions clear and straightforward, making it simple for him to follow along. It’s such a comfort knowing we’re already practicing with recipes that are both nutritious and perfectly tailored to support recovery and nourishment during the postpartum period.What I love most is how these meals make you feel—completely at ease, knowing that you’re giving your body and baby the nutrients needed to thrive. This book has truly been a game-changer in helping us feel prepared for this next chapter, and I can already tell it’s going to be a go-to resource in the months ahead. Highly recommend!

The recipes are quick to make and so good - and importantly are things I can get my toddler to eat too. I especially love the information section in the beginning! This is the most clear and straightforward instruction on postpartum nutritional needs I’ve gotten so far.
