Restorative Roots

Respectfully, we need food. 😂

“Let me know if you need anything” might be well-intentioned… but it means that a new mom still has to figure out what she needs, ask for it, and coordinate the help.

Try these instead:

“Can I drop off dinner Tuesday?”
“I’m at the store, what can I pick up for you?”
“When can I come by so you can you eat or take a shower?”
“Where do you keep your broom?”

And keep checking in after the newborn visits slow down. Moms still need meals, rest, and support beyond those first few weeks!

What’s one thing you wish someone had done for you postpartum?

You don’t have to be postpartum to want someone to make you soup. 🤍

And there’s a reason warm fall meals look a lot like the foods traditionally prepared for a new mom.

In Ayurveda, fall is considered Vata season—associated with cold, dry, windy conditions. Traditional fall eating and Ayurvedic postpartum nourishment share an emphasis on warm, cooked, comforting meals.

Think brothy soups, hearty stews, curries, congee, cooked root vegetables, and warming spices.

Whether you’re planning postpartum freezer meals or figuring out what to eat on a chilly Tuesday, there’s plenty of inspiration here. Make a pot of soup. Freeze a few portions. Keep something nourishing on hand for the days you don’t feel like cooking.

That’s part of what inspires our meals at Restorative Roots: organic ingredients, regeneratively raised meats, and meals cooked in tallow or ghee, never seed oils—delivered frozen and ready to heat whenever you need them.

Trying to make cleaner, more intentional choices for your baby can send you down a serious rabbit hole. 🫠

Organic cotton, GOTS, OEKO-TEX, wool, silicone, flame retardants, PFAS… suddenly, buying a onesie feels like it requires a research degree.

We asked the moms in our community which baby and kids brands they love, then gathered their recommendations into one easy-to-reference guide with links to help you explore each brand.

This isn’t a list of “perfect” or universally non-toxic companies. Products, materials and standards vary and can change over time. Instead, consider it a starting point for your own research, whether you’re looking for:

🤍 Organic cotton and natural fibers
🤍 Crib mattresses and bedding
🤍 Car seats and baby gear
🤍 Bath and personal-care products
🤍 Feeding essentials, toys and more

Here's the full mom-recommended guide with links: https://restorativeroots.com/blogs/postpartum-blog/best-non-toxic-baby-kids-brands-mom-recommended-clean-brands

After pregnancy or infant loss, finding support can feel like one more thing you don’t have the energy to do.

If that’s where you are, we’ve gathered a place to start. 🤍

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. This carousel brings together grief support, books, podcasts, communities, and resources for navigating lactation after loss for you or someone you love.

Whether you’re grieving a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of an infant, you deserve care, compassion, and space to grieve in your own way.

If you’re supporting someone, you don’t need perfect words. Offer a meal, help with everyday tasks, or a listening ear. Keep checking in without expecting a reply.

Save this for when you’re ready, or share it gently with someone who may find it helpful.

Postpartum nourishment does not require an expensive grocery haul...

Some of the best foods for warm, filling postpartum meals are also the most affordable:

🥩 Chuck roast or slow-cooked meat
🍗 Whole chicken or chicken thighs
🍚 White rice
🥔 Potatoes and root vegetables
🥣 Oatmeal and lentils
🍎 Stewed fruit
🍲 Homemade broth

Buy what fits your budget. Cook it low and slow. Stretch it across several meals. Your postpartum food can be simple and still deeply nourishing.

Save this for meal planning and send it to the mom who thinks postpartum prep has to cost a fortune.
