MEET NOURISHIN <\/b>\u2013 the brand dedicated to educating and supporting new and expecting Australian parents with their meal train app, seasonal recipes and resources.<\/span><\/p>\n The Nourishin app is an easy-to-use and beautiful way for Australian and New Zealander families to organise, provide or receive nourishing meals from their village.<\/p>\n As a first time mum herself, the founder Olivia wanted an easy way to organise meals and connect with her village back when she was pregnant with her daughter \u2013 but couldn\u2019t find one. So she created the Nourishin brand, then went on to design and launch the Nourishin app \u2013 Australia\u2019s first meal organising app (aka meal train app) designed specifically for families during pregnancy and postpartum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n For a limited time<\/b>, all users can download and register an account with Nourishin for FREE<\/b>, no credit card or subscriptions required. You can create or participate in a meal drop (aka meal train), download handy resources and get inspired to cook for someone you love.<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re setting up a meal train for yourself or a loved one, having success with a meal train (or fondly known as a Meal Drop in the Nourishin app<\/b>) relies on simply covering your bases. Aside from the obvious step of downloading and registering the Nourishin app (which is currently FREE<\/b> for all users to download on Apple app store<\/a> or Google Play<\/a>).<\/p>\n Embarking on the journey of motherhood is an incredibly gratifying experience \u2013 the boundless joy and love that you experience for your newborn is pretty much beyond measure. Yet the challenges that come with being a new mum in the depths of postpartum can be all-consuming. As a Naturopath, I am so passionate about empowering and educating mothers with the tools and knowledge that is crucial for their well-being during pregnancy and postpartum. With this in mind, here are 7 tips for new mums, aiming to help you navigate and cherish the motherhood journey while also focusing on your own well-being.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The early days of motherhood often accompany sleepless nights, but the age-old advice to \u2018sleep when the baby sleeps\u2019 often leaves new mums feeling frustrated\u2026 \u201cI can\u2019t sleep when the baby sleeps\u201d , \u201cI have to clean the house\u201d, \u201cI need to organise X, Y and Z\u201d\u2026 However, prioritising and embracing rest is so important, whether through a 20 minute power nap, a deep slumber, or just a few moments with closed eyes. Adequate rest not only combats fatigue but also facilitates physical recovery, enhances mood, and sharpens cognitive functions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Fuelling your body with essential nutrients is key for both recovery and energy. I have spoken to many women who diligently took their vitamins prior to and during pregnancy, but fell off the wagon once baby arrived. But this is arguable the most important time to take your supplements\/vitamins. Additionally, fuelling up with a well-balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables (organic if possible), lean proteins, broths and whole grains will be essential for post birth recovery and motherhood replenishment. Don\u2019t forget to check out the recipes Olivia has written on the Recipe Hub<\/a><\/span>.<\/b> Eating the right food for your body during postpartum aids physical and spiritual recovery. In Chinese medicine there is a saying; \u201cone drop of milk equals fifty drops of blood.\u201d It refers to the tendency towards blood deficiency in nursing mothers, which can then be exacerbated by lack of sleep and stress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
