Go organic
You may feel concerned at this vulnerable time in your baby’s development, about the pesticide residues found in many foods, and about the additives used. If you eat organic foods, where possible, you avoid those hidden ‘extras’. The best of it is that organic food tastes great, and on average contains higher levels of vitamin C and certain essential minerals such as calcium and iron. Continue to use organic foods after the baby’s birth – it is also a great way to be kinder to the environment.

Drinking plenty of fluids is good for you and will also help you when you are breastfeeding. Try some of the HiPP fruit juices that are refreshing and low in acidity – varieties include Mixed Fruit and Apple, Pineapple & Banana. HiPP also do a fennel tea, that is soothing and naturally caffeine free.

Other ways to go green:
Reuseable or biodegradable nappies
- Organic toiletries
- Organic baby clothes
- Forest friendly toys which are made from FSC certified wood.
Have you thought about a birth plan?
Birth plans are simply a record of what you would like to happen both during and after the birth. Talk things through with your midwife, they will be able to give you lots of good information and answer any queries you may have. HiPP Organic has put together a birth plan, which covers everything from who you want as your birthing partner to the type of pain relief you would like. |
