We weren't meant to raise our children alone, Mama. So we are here to give you a helping hand, share a recipe, chat about our insights of Motherhood and give you access to experts in mother care, birth, pregnancy and postpartum. Welcome to the FYC Village.
I’ll be the first to admit that when I became a mum, food often felt like an afterthought. Between the sleepless nights, endless feeding, and the never-ending pile of washing, dinner often looked more like toast crusts than a balanced plate. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
What we eat doesn’t just fuel our bodies, it can also play a role in how we feel. While food isn’t a cure for mental health challenges like postpartum depression or anxiety, research shows nutrition may be one piece of the puzzle. The good news is that it’s not about perfection, but about small, manageable steps that can gently support your wellbeing.
I remember waking up in the hospital after giving birth and feeling something I hadn’t expected an almost unbearable hunger. Not a craving. Not a “maybe I could eat.” A deep, bone-tired hunger that felt all-consuming.
And I wasn’t alone. So many mums tell me the same thing.
