On the last day of my confinement, I was feeling a little melancholic. While I was looking forward to 'breaking out of jail' and enjoying a hot bath every day, I was also thinking of how I would need to cook my own meals soon. After all, I had settled my meals for the past 28 days with thanks to Tian Wei Signature and although I knew sooner or later I had to step back into the kitchen, I wasn't very keen on the idea.
Yup, cooking has never been my forte and it's not something I look forward to. I do it purely for the sake of letting my kids be able to eat home cooked, healthy food. Considering that I was still in my postpartum recovery period, I was not knowledgeable about what ingredients would benefit me, help to nourish my body or speed up the recovery process.
At that time, the baby just turned a month old and I was struggling with pumping every 2-3 hours as he was not able to latch properly. I must say that was a hassle which drained my energy and made me exhausted, along with making me worry constantly if I was producing enough milk for him. Did I mention I still had three older kids and a house to look after and I was solo parenting on most days?
So, you can imagine how relieved I was to find out about Relactosg, a first-of-its-kind catering service in Singapore which provides breastfeeding mums with healthy food packed with lactation-boosting ingredients to support them in their motherhood journey. I took up a 21-day lunch package with them which allowed me to feel less stressful in the morning as my lunch would be delivered right to my doorstep, enabling me to focus on looking after the baby in the morning. Even though I still had to prepare simple lunch for the kids and subsequently dinner for all of us, having my own lunch settled for a few weeks in a row took a load off my shoulders. Let me share with you more about how the experience was and answer some of the queries you might have.
