Healthy Snacks for Breastfeeding Mums and Little Ones Starting BLW

Healthy Snacks for Breastfeeding Mums and Little Ones Starting BLW

Motherhood is a whirlwind of love, late nights and endless responsibilities. Between feeding your baby, managing family life and trying to catch a moment for yourself, it’s easy to forget your own nourishment.

At Lil’ Nibbles, we believe that fuelling yourself with wholesome, healthy snacks for breastfeeding mums isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. When your little one is ready to begin their solids journey, having nutritious snacks for babies and toddlers can make all the difference.

Why Nourishment Matters for Breastfeeding Mums

Breastfeeding increases your energy needs and it’s common to feel constantly hungry while caring for your baby. Choosing easy snacks for breastfeeding mums can:

  • Support your energy levels throughout the day

  • Provide key nutrients like protein, fibre, iron and healthy fats

  • Help stabilise blood sugar to avoid energy crashes

  • Ensure you’re replenishing what your body gives during breastfeeding

The Story Behind Lil’ Nibbles

The idea for Lil' Nibbles came from a very real place. When I was being nap-trapped by my baby for hours on end, I often found myself unable to leave the room, let alone prepare a proper meal or snack. The fatigue would build up and I realised how important it was to have quick, energy-boosting snacks for tired mums that didn’t require extra effort. That personal struggle inspired the vision for Lil’ Nibbles; to make wholesome, convenient snacks simple and accessible for mums and their little ones. As a dietitian, I know the importance of sharing food with our babies, because when they see us eating, it encourages them to try new foods too.

Snack Smarter, Not Harder

We know mums are busy, that’s why having convenience snacks for busy parents on hand is essential. At Lil’ Nibbles, our nourishing snack options are designed to:

  • Be quick and easy to grab (because hungry mums don’t have time to cook another meal!)

  • Keep you satisfied for longer with balanced ingredients

  • Provide peace of mind knowing you’re choosing something wholesome

When Baby Starts Solids

The transition to solids is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel overwhelming. Having healthy foods that are safe and ready-to-go makes it easier for both you and your little one. Lil’ Nibbles creates nourishing products designed to:

  • Introduce your child to a variety of tastes and textures

  • Support healthy growth and development

  • Make mealtimes less stressful with convenient, pre-prepared options

One Kitchen, Two Generations Nourished

Our vision at Lil’ Nibbles is simple: to make nourishing your family easy. That means creating snacks that mums can enjoy with a hot cup of tea (if you ever get one!) and little ones can explore during their first foods and toddler snack journey. From boosting your energy as a breastfeeding mum to supporting your child’s first bites, Lil’ Nibbles is here to take care of you both.
