MEALS TO GIFT NEW MOMS

When mom and baby get settled in at home, the gift of a meal is the gift of time. Precious time. Time to heal, time to bond, and most precious of all, time to rest! When choosing your recipes take into consideration that a breast-feeding baby’s tummy is still developing and some foods that mom eats may affect the baby’s sensitive system. Mom’s breast is a good filter, but it’s not like being filtered through the placenta. So, your dad’s five-alarm chili or your grandma’s super garlic pesto might not be the best things to gift. Here are a few nutrition-packed recipes mom is sure to appreciate. Just be sure to include an index card with the instruction on how to best heat and serve.
