24 Easy Snacks Ideas for Nursing Moms to Have On Hand: Suggestions from Real Moms

What foods or special items do you like to have on hand when you’re nursing? Here are real answers from moms in our community!

• • Brownies. Especially bite-sized ones. I could go through a huge bag every week!

  • Peanut butter sandwich.

  • Muffins and tea!

  • Lots and lots of water. Get the biggest bottle of water that you can imagine!

  • Instagram and chocolate. Great combination!

  • All the healthy fats! Nuts, seeds, avocados, granola, yogurt…

  • Dates! Top them with peanut butter!

  • My phone to look at pictures and videos of my baby!

  • String cheese! Yum!

  • Boobie bars--so helpful!

  • Oatmeal items.

  • Whole milk--you need the fat!

  • Gatorade to get the energy flowing.

  • Almonds--any kind of nuts, really!

  • Greek yogurt with granola!

  • Fresh fruit--it really refreshes you.

  • I like to make smoothies out of Chobani yogurt. A little yogurt, a little fruit, whir it up and you’ve got a great smoothie!

  • Apples and peanut butter--It’s so healthy! (Also, if you have gestational diabetes, it’s great.)

  • Cereal and milk--put it in a cup so it’s easy to eat!

  • Any kind of dried fruit is good.

  • Protein bars. It’s a meal in a one-handed bar.

  • Larabars--sweet and made from natural ingredients so it’s totally guilt-free.

  • Eggs mixed with potatoes The potatoes add texture and starch!

  • Sauce and cheese on refrigerator bagels--voila! Easy pizza!

  (P.S.--It’s okay if you accidentally drop some crumbs on baby...we’ve all been there!)
