Jonathan Steedman, APD
In this episode of the Bite Me Nutrition podcast, I’m chatting about the nutritional needs of breastfeeding mums. I talk through breastfeeding hunger and why it can feel next level, plus some practical ways to stay on top of your nutrition without overcomplicating it.
I also cover general guidelines to help you feel confident that you’re eating enough and supporting both yourself and your baby.
The goal of this episode is simple — to give you some clarity, reassurance, and real-world tips while you navigate the chaos that can come with breastfeeding and trying to look after yourself too.
