Honoring the little lives that have been lost and those who have endured the pain and devastation of miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss. You are not alone and it is not your fault. As a woman of childbearing age and dietitian specializing in reproduction, I know miscarriage is far more common than it is talked about. It is estimated that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Last week at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine conference, I met Lora Shahine, a reproductive endocrinologist who just published a book called Not Broken Illustrated. It is beautiful in its simplicity and message of hope, and I would recommend it for those who have lost a child, friends or family members who want to comfort those who have lost a child, and healthcare professionals who are unsure of what to say to patients who have suffered miscarriage or stillbirth. To all those who have lost, I know you’re grieving and will continue to grieve, but please don’t feel like you are broken or that you have to suffer alone. Sending love and healing vibes your way💙#pregnancyandinfantlossremembranceday

My baby boy is two today!✌🏽The first 1000 days of his life are over and oh how he has grown. From a blastocyst to a delicate newborn who cried, breastfed and pooped around the clock, to a resilient yet sensitive running, talking toddler who eats and poops around the clock 💩. This child renewed my passion for reproductive nutrition and wellness, reminding me that a baby’s health is inextricably tied with his mother’s health, and as the saying goes you can’t pour from an empty cup. I’m grateful for the support of my community these past two+ years of motherhood - family, friends, healthcare professionals, neighbors, acquaintances and friendly strangers. I’m also grateful for the many lessons my son has taught me on patience, perseverance and surviving sleep deprivation. It wasn’t until after becoming a mother that I ventured out on this journey as an entrepreneur, founding and running a private practice and providing nutrition counseling, guidance, education and support to women before, during and after pregnancy. My greatest thanks go to my husband @rkmallik, for creating this incredible human with me, supporting me and believing that my work both in and out of the home is meaningful and valuable. #1000days #first1000days #toddlermom #fertility #preconception #prenatal #pregnancy #postpartum #fourthtrimester #breastfeeding #reproductivenutrition #reproductivedietitian

What’s for dinner tonight? How about a rice bowl with tofu, grilled veggies, fresh herbs & an amazing peanut sauce to pour all over it! At my postpartum nutrition seminar yesterday, I raved about my favorite local tofu company @phoenixbeantofu and we made a no-cook recipe with their five-spice tofu. It’s not only delicious, but packs calcium (40% DV), iron (25% DV) and protein (18g) in a 3oz serving. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, remember that multivitamins are meant to *supplement* your diet. MVs don’t contain protein, they’re usually low in calcium, and gummy vitamins don’t contain iron, so make sure the food you eat is providing what you need! (Although iron needs decrease during breastfeeding, iron-rich foods are still an important part of your diet and can help you reduce the need for a supplement which may cause constipation - and who needs that after giving birth 😳). Also, if you’re new to cooking with tofu, this one is foolproof since it’s already pressed and flavored. If you want that tangy, creamy peanut sauce recipe, message me 😘. #meatlessmonday #whatsfordinner #vegan #ricebowl #plantbased #tofu #fertility #pregnancy #prenatal #postpartum #breastfeeding #reproductivenutrition #reproductivedietitian
