260. Homebirth Stories, Safety & Self-Advocacy with Katelyn Fusco
Q: What practical steps would you recommend to someone considering homebirth?

268. Making Postpartum Snacking Simple with Lindsay Taylor
Q: What final piece of advice would you give someone preparing for postpartum nutrition?

268. Making Postpartum Snacking Simple with Lindsay Taylor
Q: What tips can help someone who doesn't enjoy cooking to still nourish themselves effectively after birth?
Focus on short, simple prep tasks that yield the biggest nutritional payoff, like prepped proteins and easy snacks, and use shortcuts or store-bought options when appropriate while maintaining nourishing choices.
268. Making Postpartum Snacking Simple with Lindsay Taylor
Q: How far in advance should someone start prepping for postpartum, and what is a practical pacing plan?
Start a month or two before birth, doubling recipes like soups, stews, and proteins, and progressively build a freezer stash with simple, repeatable components to reduce workload after birth.
268. Making Postpartum Snacking Simple with Lindsay Taylor
Q: What are common misconceptions about postpartum foods and how should someone approach prepping?
The guest explains that while soups and stews are great, they should be complemented with one-handed snacks and prep-protein options that can be easily used at the bedside or turned into quick meals, emphasizing practicality over perfection.
