Nourishing Your Body & Spirit This Fall

As the leaves turn and the days get cozier, fall offers a natural pause for new moms to slow down and refocus. If you’re breastfeeding or chestfeeding, this season is the perfect time to lean into comfort foods, nourish your body with wholesome lactation snacks, and find small rituals that restore your spirit.

Fueling Milk Supply with Seasonal Comforts

Fall’s harvest brings more than just pretty colors. Believe it or not, it’s actually full of foods that support milk supply! Oats, pumpkin seeds, and flax are nutrient-rich staples often found in lactation cookies and snacks, like Bessie’s cookies, granola, and pretzels. Pairing these and other nutrient-dense treats with warm teas, soups, and hearty grains not only keeps your body fueled but also provides a cozy sense of grounding when the days feel long and nights may feel even longer. 

Pro-tip: Ginger tea is an added galactagogue booster.

The Role of Lactation Snacks

For many new moms, remembering to eat can feel impossible between feedings, diaper changes, and everything in between. That’s where convenient lactation snacks with brewer’s yeast come in. These milk-boosting treats are designed to fit into your busy life, offering a milk supply aid without requiring a full sit-down meal. Think of them as your pocket-sized ally against low milk supply. 

Pro tip: grab a pack of our On-The-Go cookies, which are individually wrapped and easy to toss into a diaper bag, purse, or… straight into your mouth!

Caring for Your Spirit

Nourishment isn’t just physical. The transition into cooler months is an invitation to reconnect with yourself. Take a walk under the changing leaves with your sweet new baby, savor a lactation cookie with your morning coffee, or carve out five minutes of deep breathing. These little rituals remind you that caring for a new baby also means caring for you. 

Pro tip: Heat up your lactation cookie for just 5-10 seconds for an ooey-gooey decadent treat!

This fall, let your snacks, routines, and moments of quiet help you feel whole again. Lactation snacks are more than a quick bite. They’re a reminder that you matter, too.
