Nutrition | Mumken

Nutrition is vital during all phases of motherhood (pre and postnatal) - what we and our bubs eat, affect so many other aspects of life (including sleep!). What does a balanced diet really mean for a baby vs a toddler? Are iron rich foods important if you're still breastfeeding? Good nutrition at all stages of motherhood can be the foundation for lifelong benefits for your bub.

The below posts are from accredited professionals covering some of the topics when it comes to nutrition for both mother and bub.

If you have concerns or any specific questions, please check in with your regular GP or see an accredited nutritionist that can help.
