Newborn Meal Options

1) When possible, make meals prior to birth and freeze them in a large freezer.

2) Stock up on healthy frozen meals that you can quickly pop in the microwave and lots of snacks (especially salty ones).

3) Allow friends and family to deliver meals.

4) Consider a meal service like Factor (see below) which delivers weekly healthy meals that are frozen and only need to be microwaved.
