In this vlog I’m taking you through a realistic what I eat in a day as an exclusively breastfeeding mom, 7 months postpartum. I get asked all the time what I’m eating, and I wanted to show the real-life version—aka I decided to film on a day we had basically no groceries. I started with what we had on hand (Kodiak protein pancakes, eggs, and my current obsession: that chicken sausage), then I loaded up the girls and did a Walmart run with a full grocery haul when we got home. I also shared something that’s been really important for me in this season: being more intentional about balanced meals while nursing. I had a virtual appointment with a registered dietitian through Nourish (from home, which is a must with two kids), and we talked a lot about prioritizing protein and making sure I’m fueling my body enough to support milk supply and energy. You’ll see the quick things I lean on—high-protein yogurt drinks, yogurt bowls with fruit, protein coffee, electrolytes and lots of water, an easy dinner (Sam’s chicken + veggies + cottage cheese), and a simple bedtime protein bar. It’s nothing fancy—just doable meals that actually fit into mom life.
