Post-Partum Doula Baskets

“Let food be thy medicine & medicine be thy food” – Hippocrates

Doula Baskets to Nourish

When you’re a new mum it can be overwhelming to stay on top of feeding your baby, let alone yourself.  With this in mind, I have put together a handful of homemade, organic fresh food baskets especially for a new Mother, so that while she can care for your baby and be fully nourished and nurtured through my doula baskets.

Or why not gift a basket to a new mum?  So many presents are given to the new babies that quite frankly are a waste of money – who needs another fluffy bunny?  Instead why not spend on something that will heal a new mum, make her feel cared for and ease her in to her new routine where she doesn’t have to think about what to eat because a beautiful basket has arrived on her doorstep.

I deliver it to the front door.  Each basket has 4 portions, which will either last 4 days if it’s just for you or 2 days if it is shared with your partner.

All recipes are designed to heal a post-partum body so lots of warming spices and ingredients are used to encourage the perfect environment in the body to heal, produced more milk and sustain a Mum through the early weeks.
