Fish Friday travel edition with amazing sammies and James’ first real restaurant experience #upstateny #breastfeeding #newmom #postpartum
Traveling as a breastfeeding mom can be challenging, but planning meals around familiar favorites like Fish Friday helps keep comfort and nutrition in check. On our recent trip upstate, I prioritized packing nourishing snacks, though we mainly enjoyed fresh local sandwiches at Rossi and Son's, known for their outstanding shrimp po'boy and eggplant Parmesan options. The rainbow cookie there was an unexpected but delightful treat with a crunchy chocolate shell that I'll remember. Dining out for the first time with our five-month-old James was a memorable milestone. Choosing a cozy restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere made it easier to manage feeding and entertainment at the table. The staff were accommodating, promptly delivering dishes like an asparagus special, oysters, and trout with potatoes, which added a touch of elegance to our getaway dinner. Late-night cravings led to enjoying eggplant Parmesan back in our room, illustrating how food can be a comforting companion during postpartum travel. Staying flexible with meal plans and embracing local flavors enhanced the trip's enjoyment despite the logistics of traveling with a newborn. For breastfeeding moms planning travel, it’s helpful to bring trusted snacks but also to explore local eateries that offer nourishing options. Prioritizing both adult and baby needs creates opportunities for shared experiences that strengthen family bonds. Our Upstate NY journey reminded me how food, family, and new adventures intertwine beautifully when approached with thoughtful preparation and an open heart.
