I've been focusing on threads about post-birth meals, but one of the items on my supply list from my midwife is nourishing snacks and beverages for mama. My first birth was in a hospital so I was limited to what we had packed in the hospital bag (which was granola bars and water bottles!), and I don't remember really feeling much like eating until after the birth, but I do think I nibbled on granola bars here and there. Anyone have any suggestions for light, snacky food items and/or good beverages that we might want to have on hand? We're a little limited because of dd1's allergies, so we can't do anything with milk, egg, or nuts, but even just some general ideas of what other mamas have felt like snacking on while laboring would help me figure out some options! Things we always have on hand are fruits, dry cereals, bread for toast...but I'm not sure what else to get that would feel somewhat more nutritious than plain toast, lol.
