Читать книгу An Unfit Mother: How to get your Health, Shape and Sanity back after Childbirth - Kate Cook - Страница 11

We all know you are not in the hospital for the food. Get someone to bring you some energy-supporting food for when you have had the baby. I know this sounds like being in the movie Midnight Express, where you have been transported to some dodgy Turkish jail, and have to rely on the kindness of your family to feed you, but you will thank me later when you get out of there. You could ask for:

* Oatcakes

* Fresh fruit

* Almonds

* Seeds—like pumpkin seeds

* Nut butters

* Bottled water

* Cool bag with hummus, salads, guacamole.

The homecoming

Try to plan ahead and organise one of the following for when you get home. You’ll need it.

* Ask someone to fill the fridge with great stuff so that you and the chocolate chip cookie monster stay apart.

* Pay a student/cook to come in and cook simple meals to freeze (or ask your mum).

* Consider a company like www.purepackage.com if you are in London. They will deliver fresh, healthy meals—be sure to tell them you are breastfeeding. (Extra calories needed, honest!)
