How it Works

Milky Oat Postpartum Meal Delivery supports optimal postpartum recovery by supplying new mothers with all the nutrients they need to thrive.

The first 40 days after birth is an essential period of time to replenish the body. Without proper nourishment we become depleted, causing an array of imbalances in the future. Modern studies focus on the positive impact of implementing certain nutrients to avoid avoid postpartum depletion. We believe food has the capacity to heal.

Key Nutrients for Postpartum

At Milky Oat, our mission is to nourish mothers with the nutrients needed to restore the postpartum body. Here are some of the key components of our meals:

Protein

Protein is essential for rebuilding the muscles and cells. We design many of our meals around protein-rich legumes, oats, meats, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, and ancient grains.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is important for both visual health and immune function. The World Health Organization recommends a diet rich in Vitamin A for breastfeeding mothers. Found in foods such as eggs, liver, salmon, and mackerel.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C supports a healthy immune system. We provide our mothers with Vitamin C by including foods such as citrus, strawberries, currants, goji berries, and potatoes.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D supports a healthy brain, nervous system, and immune system. It can reduce the risk of postpartum depression and anxiety. Found in salmon, liver, and egg yolks.

DHA

DHA is an important Omega-3 fatty acid which can improve brain and vision development in breastfed babies and plays a role in reducing inflammation and postpartum depression in mothers. Found in salmon, sardines, eggs, and seaweed.

Folate

Folate is needed for production of white and red blood cells and for brain development in breastfeeding babies. Found in broccoli, brussels sprouts, leafy greens, peas, chickpeas, and liver.

Niacin

Niacin has been found to alleviate postpartum depression, improve skin health, and boost brain function. Found in foods such as liver, chicken, turkey, salmon, anchovies, pork, beef, avocado, brown rice, mushrooms, peas, and potatoes.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is necessary for proper red blood cell development and energy production. Goodbye, fatigue! Found in clams, mussels, salmon, beef, and lamb. For breastfeeding vegan/vegetarian mothers, the CDC recommends supplementing B12.

Iodine

Iodine is a trace mineral which supports the thyroid in hormone synthesis. The World Health Organization recommends increasing iodine intake during prenatal and postpartum periods. Found in eggs and seafood.

Iron

It’s important to replenish the body’s iron stores after natural blood and iron loss during pregnancy and childbirth. Breastfeeding mothers need higher iron as it is needed to support both their own bodies and their babies’ development. Red meat, liver, oysters, and leafy greens can all provide mothers with the iron they need. Vegans and vegetarians should check in with your healthcare provider about supplementing additional iron.

Magnesium

Magnesium can support healthy muscle contraction, alleviate anxiety, and encourage healthy bowel movements. Found in nuts, seeds, legumes, quinoa, dark chocolate, and spinach.

Zinc

Zinc supports the body's ability to absorb and metabolize important micronutrients like Vitamin A. It may also help with postpartum depression. Found in oysters, red meat, poultry, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
