anyone making freezer meals for after baby comes?

Question

i was curious if anyone is making freezer meals for the first week or 2 after you get back from the hospital? if so what are you making? i assume if I'm going to be breast feeding nothing spicy or tomato based is best.  that rules out Mexican and Italian dishes which i make to freeze more often. i did make alfredo manicotti and froze it. any recipe suggestions out there?

Answer

Second time breastfeeding mom, it’s an old wives tale that you can’t have tomato based or spicy food. Enjoy whatever you’d like! I really like to freeze soups, can freeze them flat and just cut open the bag with a knife, plop in a pot and you can enjoy within minutes.

Answer

I should. i need to. but i am so lazy right kow 😣😣😣

Answer

Ummm... I hope husband will cook and/or go buy food for me.

Answer

Making soups and freezing them. Have some mac’n’cheese I saved from my shower that I froze. My parents are coming around the holidays and they will do some cooking. 
A coworker told me about this thing called a food train today. Someone organizes a group where everyday someone brings you a meal or orders you delivery for the first few weeks. Never heard of this idea but how convenient and totally thoughtful would that be?

Answer

I’m trying to decide if I’ll be doing this or not too. I know my church sets up a meal train, so we’ll be set that way for a couple weeks. My parents and both sets of grandparents also live in town and I know they will want to help out too. It’s also tough because I’m gluten intolerant and that limits us a bit as well. 🤔

Answer

I will be expecting my husband and older kids to cook 😂

Answer

I’m spending my 5 day thanksgiving break prepping freezer meals.

Answer

I'm planning on making fried Chicken with rice and peas for the rest of family and soup for myself since I will be breast feeding, hope I will be able to.

Answer

Yes!! I'm freezing several meals such as meatloaf, stew, soups and lasagna. I'm also making protein oatmeal bites for snacks that help with milk production. I also plan to do several crockpot meals that will be super easy but great for the family.

Answer

Yes!  I’ve already made beef stew, meatloaf and I sliced it and froze it. I’ve also cooked chicken and frozen it. I plan on making a chicken noodle soup. I also will be making a lasagna. I also have some tamales that I will be freezing. Lol! Seems like a lot having written it but I am almost certain that we will order food here and there as well!
