Frequently Asked Questions
How do your meals support breastfeeding?
Our lactation-supporting meals include adequate calories (500+ extra per day), high-quality proteins, healthy fats like omega-3s, and foods traditionally known to support milk production such as oats, leafy greens, and almonds.
When should I start the postpartum meal service?
We recommend starting immediately after returning home from the hospital. Most mothers benefit from 4-6 weeks of meal support, though we can customize the duration based on your recovery needs and family situation.
Can you accommodate food allergies while breastfeeding?
Absolutely. We carefully plan meals that avoid allergens while ensuring you still receive all necessary nutrients. We can also modify meals if your baby shows signs of sensitivity to certain foods through breast milk.
Can the meals feed my whole family?
Yes! We design many meals to be family-friendly so your partner and older children can enjoy the same nutritious food. We can also provide separate portions sized appropriately for your household.
How does delivery work with a newborn?
We offer flexible, quiet delivery options including contactless delivery and scheduled times that work around baby's feeding and sleeping schedules. We can also coordinate with family members for pickup.
Are the meals easy to reheat and eat?
Yes! All meals come with simple reheating instructions and many are designed to be eaten one-handed. We focus on nourishing, comforting foods that require minimal preparation time.
