BREASTFEEDING MOM BREAKFAST

Here with another one of my quick and easy breakfast rotations!

By the way i’m not vegetarian I just bought these sausage patties one time by accident and ended up loving the taste 😅. I sometimes do turkey sausage too because that’s another healthy option.

With these breakfast rotations I try to make sure I have a good balance of stuff in there to start off my day. I am always sooo hungry after a night & morning of breastfeeding and honestly breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day anyways. I ate this a ton for breakfast when I was pregnant as well! Also I am like a total freak for sweet/salty balance so all my breakfasts have a combo of both- I have to have both so I can rotate between them to have both tastes 😂.

I had such a bad pregnancy sweet tooth and these waffles always hit the spot. Still do! My pregnancy sweet tooth just kind of turned in to my breastfeeding sweet tooth haha, anyone else??

From my experience, breakfast isn’t just another meal during breastfeeding; it’s essential fuel after long nights. Including a mix of protein, healthy carbs, and a touch of sweetness really helps manage hunger and maintain energy levels. I often rotate between Kodiak cakes protein waffles, which provide about 12g of protein and satisfy that sweet tooth, and savory options like air-fryer-friendly sausage patties (sometimes turkey sausage for a leaner choice). This combo keeps meals interesting and ensures I get the nutrition needed for milk production. Balancing sweet and salty flavors also satisfies cravings that can be intense during postpartum and breastfeeding phases. For moms struggling with similar sweet tooth urges, these waffles are a lifesaver; they’re filling and naturally delicious. Additionally, prepping breakfast items like sausage patties in advance and using frozen protein waffles can save precious time on hectic mornings. Don’t hesitate to customize with fruits like berries or a dollop of nut butter for extra nutrients and taste. Remember, eating well supports both you and your baby, and with simple rotations, breakfast can remain your favorite meal just like it’s been for me throughout pregnancy and nursing.
