24.01.2022 What makes our food different to other meal delivery services? (besides the amount of love we sprinkle in to every pot and pan) It is widely believed that the foods eaten during the postpartum period should be warming and nutrient-dense, to support the healing and immunity of the birthing person as their body adjusts to the growing and then birthing of a baby and all of the hormonal fluctuations that come with it. It is also beneficial to eat foods that are iron rich, nutr...itive and healing, to support the sudden changes to blood volume and bodily tissue, alongside foods that promote lactation if it is your intention to breastfeed. Local and and organic foods are preferable, as this means they are at their freshest and free of any pesticides which can wreak havoc on the already delicate hormones. For this reason, we source all of our ingredients organically and all of our produce from local, organic farmers. We have designed this menu in order to bring you maximum postpartum-specific nutrition, whilst being able to be enjoyed in a number of ways, depending on your mood and cravings. Birth and the Fourth Trimester happen only a handful of times in your life. This sacred window is when you deserve to be thoroughly nourished with the most thoughtful foods to help you heal and thrive as a parent. Allowing the hands and hearts of others to hold you, nurture you and nourish you through the postpartum will help you to feel supported on a physical and emotional level; encouraging you, your baby, your relationships and your village to thrive. #nourishyourself #loveyourmother #postpartumnutrition #fourthtrimester #holisticnutrition #melbournemama #organic #plantpowered #mealdelivery #babyblessing #galactagogue #community #thrivingnotsurviving #workwife

22.01.2022 Hello lovely friends, followers and customers! Winter Nourish Packs are now online and ready to be ordered for delivery next Tuesday or any Tuesday that follows. We are so excited about this menu, it is absolutely brimming with comforting meals and snacks to nourish you from your head to your toes. See second photo for what you could eat in a day and and we will share more in depth info about the contents soon (or you can find everything you need to know online). We have also... decided to start charging a small delivery fee for our packs, as after 9 months of pouring our heart and soul into making sure the mamas of Melbourne have access to delicious and nutritious meals and snacks, we would love to start paying ourselves. Don’t get us wrong, leftover soup and cookies are great, but they don't pay the rent or give us the ability to grow this baby of ours into the love-giving empire we want it to be Big big love and thank you for your support #postpartum #mealdelivery #newmama #melbourne #mama #melbournemama #breastfeeding #nourish #heal #immunesupport #babyshower #love @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

22.01.2022 Silly billy us only realised over the weekend that our Lactation Cookies were sold out on our website, meaning that many of you Cookie Monster Mamas weren’t able to treat yourself to a pack or three as you usually do through the week As you can see, the reality is quite the opposite and we’ve just freshly baked over 500 of our delish Peanut Butter Cacao Nib Cookies, which are now up on our website ready for you to devour! Orders usually close at midnight on Sunday, but because of our brain fart this week we are keeping sales open tonight for cookies and any that come through between now and 8am tomorrow morning will be posted to you first thing this Wednesday. Happy feasting #lactationcookies #breastfeeding #treatyourself #gotmilk #plantpowered #lactation #motherhood #postpartum

20.01.2022 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US Today these Postpartum Nonna Work Wives are celebrating ONE whole lap around the sun (and dozens of laps around Melbourne) since we delivered our first boot full of Nourish Packs - all the while doing what we adore most: nourishing and nurturing those who sustain life, who bring life in to the world and who raise the next generation of humans. Plus hey - if we can make it through a global pandemic, we can make it through anything, RIGHT?! WHAT. A. YEAR...! We’ve thrown ourselves headfirst in to full blown matrimonial #workwife status: we share a bank account, lease agreement and ABN amongst wayyyyy too much information about each others life aspirations and bodily functions We’ve seen each other ride ALL the waves of emotions and grown beyond business partners to become wholesome, loving and trustworthy friends. We’ve made a few mistakes along the way and Oh Mama have we learnt lots and lots and lots of lessons. We built Mama Goodness from the ground up in Jess’ home kitchen and have expanded to a commercial space that is helping us on our journey to grow and prosper our business empire dreams. The future is bright baby! All the thanks to you magnificent humans that have supported us every step of the way. When we started Mama Goodness, we didn’t know just how far-reaching our goodies would go. Most of you know that we feed new mothers, but we also feed fathers, pregnant people, those who have lost their beautiful babies - before and after birth. We feed parents who’s babies are now toddlers and just need a break from the mundane task of mid week cooking. Some weeks we feed lovely Melbournites who don’t have kids, but want to feast on some love filed, home made, plant powered goodness. Today we turn ONE! and we couldn’t have done it without you. Your love letters, texts, phone calls and real life conversations of encouragement, appreciation and understanding over the past year is what fuels and expands our hearts with so much passion and drive to keep doing what we are doing. At Mama Goodness, we believe that connection is one of the foundational pillars of motherhood, and we feel very held and loved in the bosom of our community

Only the best for our Mamas #organic #veggiebox #postpartum #mealdelivery #melbournemama #holisticnutrition #naturopath #plantpowered

14.01.2022 A mother needs to feel safe enough to risk feeling uncertain. People who offer advice cannot know all the details of her situation. They also don’t usually have to live with the long term consequences of their advice. A mother needs time to ‘grow’ into parenthood, together with her partner. She needs enough confidence to experiment and change her mind a few times. She needs to learn that some of her ideas work. The most uncertain and under-confident beginner can gradually tu...rn herself into a unique mother. We love this beautiful excerpt from @newbornmothers book Photo of a Mama we love @shanaythedoula and her beautiful Lenni who turned 1 only a few days ago x #breastfeeding #feedingwithlove #newmother #newborn #fourthtrimester #postpartumisforever See more

Day or night, our herbal Lactation Tea is caffeine free so can be brewed and sipped through all of the witching hours. We’ve hand crafted this to not only promote milk production, but also nurture your nervous system - becaus...e feeding your bambino is one hell of a full-time round the clock job.

10.01.2022 Small business is one helluva wild and wonderful ride! From day one we’ve done everything ourselves at Mama G HQ: funded our startup, triple tested our recipes, hand rolled every batch of cookies, crafted our herbal products, driven across Melbourne to pick up from our suppliers, zoomed all over town to hand deliver to our Mamas, stayed up late editing websites and designing labels, woken up early to reply to emails and pick up fresh loaves of bread. We love it more than anyt...hing in the world, and you wonderful, supportive, encouraging people make it all possible Until last week we hadn’t paid ourselves a cent to do this for the past year of working every Monday and Tuesday (plus the rest ). All you small business’ out there would know and cherish the feeling - how sweet and magical and morale boosting and GOD DAMNED EMPOWERING it feels to have a small slice of practical thanks come back in to your bank account for all the work you put in to your pride and joy - your labour of love. One thing we HAVE treated ourselves to in recent months is MAMA GOODNESS MERCH In the beginning we designed our logo too, so it’s very close to our hearts and we thought, hell, what better than to slap it on a good ol’ coffee mug to enjoy at every business meeting and cooking day!!! So folks, would anyone out there be interested in adding one of these to their cupboard of mismatched drinking vessels for optimal lactation cookie dunking purposes? #smallbusiness #workwife #fooddelivery #postpartumsupport #nourishment #merchmamas #whatamug #melbournemama #coffeetime #lactationcookies #treatyoself #fromthegroundup #labouroflove

08.01.2022 Our need to slow down, rest, reflect and go inwards during Winter is reflected so beautifully in what Mother Nature provides and nourishes us with at this time of year. This laden tree of bright, happy citrus is exactly what our bodies and our mind need to see us through until Spring. A pop of colour and of important nutrients including Vitamin C isn’t just a coincidence. As our biological clocks move at a slower pace through June, July and August here in the Southern Hemisph...ere, nature knows that our immune systems need boosting and so brings forth the most bright and beautiful produce to see us and our health through. Right now we have incredibly rich sources of Vitamin C growing in abundance, including mandarins, limes, navel oranges, kiwi fruit, grapefruit and leafy green veg including broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale and boy choy. Celebrating the seasons is a non-negotiable for us, as it honours the cyclical ebb and flow of Mother Nature. We encourage all Mamas respect the seasons, including those that affect your inner workings and emotions on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Some days you will feel more in to your own Winter and we want you to know that going slow, needing space, feeling less sunshiney and getting by without kicking goals IS enough. Spring will come and we are here to walk beside you through all of your magnificent seasons x #seasons #innerwinter #postpartum #motherhood #matrescence #pregnancy #fourthtrimester #selfreflection #seasonalfood #organicproduce #youareenough #springiscoming

06.01.2022 We’ve got a handful of our Spring Packs left that we would love to deliver this coming Tuesday 8th September Orders close at 10pm tomorrow (Sunday) and through lockdown we are still legally zooming all over Melbourne within 15km from our Collingwood kitchen. We know how hard it’s been for all of you out there with newborn Mamas and babies that you can’t visit in lockdown, so let us help you nourish them with a few days of beautiful food to lift them through the slow and t...ender postpartum days at home #postpartum #holisticnutrition #lockdownlove #loveyourmother #melbournemama #treatyourself #breastfeeding #lactationcookies #newborn #fourthtrimester See more

06.01.2022 Literally us RN What a week, what a year, what a time!!! We’re pretty sure all of you are feeling a bit like this too Happy Scorpio Season y’all #losingit #scorpioseason #theonlywayoutisthrough

06.01.2022 It may be a public holiday here in Melbourne next Tuesday, but as always (and because Mamas are our tip top priority!) we say NUP to the Cup and will be cooking our little tooshes off to hand deliver Mama Goodness to your door The feeling of lightness and relief that this weeks lockdown lift has brought to so many families out there is overwhelming - being able to travel across town to visit loved ones is something we will never take for granted again and we are sending yo...u all SO much love as you adjust and are reunited with your people A humbling side of 2020 has been learning to surrender, and even though we are stepping into a really special social season, please remember to check in with yourself and listen to your body and nervous system. This year has been immense, both physically and emotionally. There is a huge sense of social anxiety out there after the intensity of lockdown that we and many others are feeling, so remember to take things slowly, say no to doing things that make you feel like you’re taking on too much, and let us feed you or a family you love over the next few weeks when cooking a meal or having to go out is creeping upwards on your too hard basket list. #mealdelivery #postpartum #thefourthtrimester #melbournemums #lactationcookies #motherhood #holisticnutrition #plantpowered #loveyourmother

05.01.2022 It’s not our time to go about business as usual. From 1-7 June, we will be stepping away from posting feed content to allow our BIPOC friends, both on home soil and overseas, to amplify their voices. We will share relevant resources, organisations and action to digest and learn from in our stories. At Mama Goodness, we have and always will believe that connection is one of the foundational pillars of motherhood - and connecting, supporting, listening to and learning from moth...ers and families from all walks of life, backgrounds, experience and cultures is of utmost importance to finding and growing your village. This week, with all the thanks to you, we are donating $5 from every Nourish Pack that you have purchased since we started to the invaluable @birthforhumankind It is the least we can do and we will continue to strive to do better. We see you, we love you, we stand with you See more

05.01.2022 But how is she supposed to eat her cookie though??!! So many mugs and SO MANY COOKIES being packed up and sent out to lucky mamas today. We still do a happy dance every time a new order comes through so keep them coming #postpartum #cookies #mama #newmama #melbourne #melbournemama #breastfeeding #love

04.01.2022 Galacta-WHAT? If you haven’t heard this word before, do not fear - we often get some wide eyes and blank stares when we mention that we use galactagogues with great enthusiasm in our cooking and herbal products at Mama Goodness HQ. Galactagogues have been used around the world by various cultures for eons to support milk production and breastfeeding - often given to mothers in the weeks and months after birth by midwives, doulas and lactation consultants to boost breastmilk ...supply amongst other encouraging methods. The science behind how galactagogues work within the body continues to grow and although much of their use is based on the positive experience and stories of mothers from generation to generation - studies indicate their effect works on the hormonal cascade taking place in new mothers, including the increased production of prolactin, which is the hormone that stimulates milk production and flow. Galactagogue foods and herbs are also incredibly nutrient rich, which we encourage you to combine and create nourishing meals to enjoy on your breastfeeding journey. Some milk-making foods and herbs we love include: Oats Flaxseed Dark leafy greens Chickpeas Garlic Nettle Fennel seeds and bulb Fenugreek Cumin seeds Dill Nuts and nut butters Green papaya It is incredibly important to address the underlying cause of insufficient breastmilk supply with a trusted health professional. Focusing on rest, relaxation, hydration!!!, nutrition, and a baby who has an excellent latch and sucking reflex are all important factors for a successful breastfeeding journey. #lactation #breastfeeding #milkmaker #galactagogues #chestfeeding #loveyourmother #holisticnutrition #naturopath #postpartumjourney #fourthtrimester #foodasmedicine #lactationcookies #lactationtea

02.01.2022 We are almost ONE Spring has sprung (praise fricken’ BE!), which means on 17th September, we will be celebrating one whole turn around the sun since we set off on our very first day of deliveries What a transformative, wonderful, whirlwind, educational, exhilarating, frustrating, fantastic, humbling and beautiful year it has been learning all the ins and outs of small business. The magnificent Mamas, families, mentors, connections and friends we’ve made along the way h...ave seriously changed our lives and skyrocketed our level of appreciation for the community we have around us, near and far For our 1st Birthday, we will be running a few weekly giveaways to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts - so keep your eyes and ears peeled for your chance to feast on some delicious Mama Goodness which we will hand deliver to your door if you live within our 15km delivery zone, as well as your chance to feel totally loved with one of our hand crafted herbal Nurture Packs which we will post anywhere around Australia.

02.01.2022 We deliver to some seriously special and deserving Mamas It’s not always possible for new parents to nest in and adjust in the comfort of their own home during the Fourth Trimester. Some of our own most treasured friends have spent weeks and months at the @rchmelbourne with their bubs who require urgent and specialised medical attention after birth. It is our absolute honour to meet and feed super-powered parents who stand beside their bubbas bedside day and night at the Royal Children’s here in Melbourne, waiting for the special day they can go home. Nourishment and food filled with love that fuels, comforts and heals is more important than anything during the Postpartum, and never more deserved than by the families we are so lucky to feed here x
