Best meals for new Mum!

[Ladylove]

Do you know what I really liked having when DD was born ... cake! It was such a nice little luxury.

Otherwise I've made chicken, corn and leak pies, anything in a slow cooker - casseroles, curries etc
Oh and I love a meaty minestrone - with little chicken or beef meatballs and the soup is made quite thick so it is really filling and more like a casserole.

My normal offering is pasta bake (unbaked) in a disposable foil container. With some cut up veges. And I often make a batch of breastfeeding cookies or some other kind of filling, healthy-ish finger food.

Quiche is another favourite offering as it can be eaten hot or cold. And can also be eaten one handed standing in front of the fridge....

Great ideas everyone!! Thank you!!

LOL Mel, well I can but you better tell me what you're eating these days, lol. I could just buy you a lettuce?

I can, but they may be a little mouldy by the time they get to you

And, by the way, I can not believe that you are 40+ weeks now, where did that time go???

Dahl is good too.
I loved sausage rolls for a quick snack.

Anything that can be eaten with a single hand and microwaved multiple times over in a single sitting.

Tell me about it! Crazy fast.

Heaven - lettuce is good but anything goes after this baby is out! I'll have a properly working gallbladder and room for food LOL

Well, no one ever made me anything with DS, but I'd have loved snack type things like zucchini slice, savoury or sweet muffins, cakes, biscuits etc. I was soooooo hungry when BFing and constantly wanted to snack. I remember being 'over' toast and jam and cheese sandwiches REALLY quickly

DH is a good cook and we spent some time sorting out easy meal ideas and freezing stuff. It was the snack/lunch stuff that got to me.

I made lasagne for a new mum, and it went down well. I pre cut and wrapped it before giving it. Was going to do lactation cookies, but this mum had BFing difficulties (both her and Bub) and it was a sore point so I thought I'd give it a miss.
