Pack in the nutrients for your baby and you by having regular meals rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals. Essential fats are also vital for baby’s brain and nervous system development so daily flax seeds in these dishes are a bonus. The superfood salad provides more of these vital omega-3 fats but do restrict your oily fish consumption to just twice a week and stick to seeds the rest of the time. If you are still exercising (safely of course) then add the Aioli sauce as you are more likely to burn off the extra calories.
