The Postpartum Shift

57. How to Meal Plan Without the Overwhelm After Baby


Listen Later

Feeling overwhelmed by meal planning in the postpartum phase? You’re not alone. With sleep deprivation, unpredictable baby schedules, and the demands of breastfeeding, cooking full meals can feel impossible. But what if meal planning could be simple and stress-free? In this episode, we’ll walk through easy, realistic ways to nourish your body without spending hours in the kitchen.

Here's a sneak peek:

[1:31] Meal planning feels impossible postpartum

[2:29] You don't have to plan every meal

[5:43] Brooke's favorite meal prepping tool

[6:29] Mindset shift-done is better than perfect

[8:18] Batch key ingredients 

[9:15] Have a back up plan


Meal planning doesn’t have to be rigid, overwhelming, or time-consuming. By focusing on simple strategies like batch cooking, maximizing leftovers, and having staple ingredients on hand, you can make mealtime easier without sacrificing nutrition. Start small—maybe with just breakfast—and build from there. If you’re looking for more support, check out the free workshop on boosting energy, mood, and metabolism postpartum.
