You asked, we answered!
Lots of new moms are careful about their caffeine during pregnancy and often look for safe alternatives like Blume. We've got some great blends to recommend for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Just a quick reminder - every pregnancy is different, so it's always a good idea to chat with your doctor first. We always suggest talking to your doctor or healthcare practitioner to figure out what's best for you. Now, let's dive in and check out our top three recommendations for mamas and why we love them.
You can’t beet it!
Beets are packed with folic acid, which helps in the development of the fetus. Similar to cacao, they are rich in calcium, iron, and minerals that support breastfeeding and encourage milk production. Pregnant women are more at risk of developing osteoporosis, so it's important to ensure that both you and your baby are getting all the benefits this superfood has to offer. Bonus! Our Beetroot blend contains ginger, which is the perfect relief for morning sickness, nausea, and vomiting. This pink queen has it all and is our top choice for new moms.
The gold standard
Turmeric has been used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries as a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich herb. Small amounts of this dried golden powder can help with digestion and reduce swelling and heartburn, which are common side effects of pregnancy. However, during pregnancy, it's not recommended to consume medicinal levels of turmeric (such as straight curcumin supplements). Our original Turmeric blend is a healthy option when consumed in moderation.
Need a gentle caffeine kick?
Matcha is a great choice for expecting and breastfeeding mothers. It contains about 65mg of caffeine per serving, which is below the recommended 200mg daily caffeine intake. In addition to providing alertness without jitters, Matcha is rich in protein, folate, and vitamin C, and helps strengthen the immune system. To enhance its benefits, we've added Moringa to our Matcha Coconut blend. Moringa is packed with vitamins that are ideal for pregnancy and breastfeeding, as it promotes milk production and regulates blood sugar levels.
Everything's coming up Roses!
Our Rose London Fog Blend is perfect for pregnancy or postpartum. This soothing blend can help calm your mood, fight inflammation, and promote glowing skin. It's rich in vitamins A and E, and the presence of Vitamin C helps boost your immune system. The anti-inflammatory properties of roses make this blend great for relieving bloating, nausea, and pregnancy headaches. If you're struggling with fluctuating moods, give Rose London Fog a try.
Always listen to your body, and consult your healthcare practitioner if you're ever unsure during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
