Need Nourishing Postpartum Meals? These Local Brands Have You Covered

More and more people are waking up to a powerful truth: mothers need care after giving birth, not just during pregnancy. And one of the biggest ways to support healing? Through food.

On my journey to learning how to thrive during the postpartum period, one thing has become crystal clear. What we eat and drink will either sustain us or deplete us. Unfortunately, in those early newborn days, if we don't have loved ones cooking for us, many of us fall back on instant, processed food, and whatever we can grab between cluster feeds. It's not ideal, but it's survival.

So imagine my joy when I discovered these postpartum-friendly food delivery businesses showing up on my feed! I’m currently 25 weeks pregnant with our third baby while writing this, and one of my biggest goals this time around is to make postpartum recovery easier for me and my family.

These services are on my wishlist, and they’re too good not to be shared.

1. Brothed PH

They specialize in collagen-rich, nutrient-packed bone broths and even offer Postpartum Recovery and Lactation Support Program packages. Broths are especially great for postpartum mamas because they’re warm, hydrating, easy to digest, and packed with minerals that help rebuild strength and support tissue healing.

Whether you’re sipping between feeds or pouring it over rice or noodles, it’s comfort and recovery in a cup.

All orders come frozen and ready to store in your freezer until you need them.

2. Get Well Soup PH

As the name suggests—these soups are healing, hearty, and made to nourish. While I used to see a dedicated Postpartum Recovery Bundle, you can still mix and match from their comforting menu. Soups are a gentle way to feed your recovering body—easy on digestion, soothing to the soul, and perfect for cozy postpartum days.

These are also delivered frozen for easy storage and convenience.

3. GeLai PH

This business is truly made for moms. Rooted in the age-old tradition of “ge lai” (a Hokkien term similar to the Chinese practice of “sitting the month”), this brand offers meals specifically crafted for postpartum recovery. Their Post-Natal Recovery Packages focus on warming the body, replenishing lost nutrients, boosting energy, and supporting milk supply—all while helping you feel deeply cared for. It’s nourishment with wisdom behind every bite.

This is care delivered right to your doorstep, so you don’t have to do it all from scratch.

You don’t have to cook every healing meal yourself. These businesses exist to lighten your load and help you recover well. You can order from their websites or send them a message through social media. They deliver to most areas in Metro Manila—just make sure to confirm with them first.

And if you’re not the one giving birth? This makes a beautiful, meaningful gift for any soon-to-be or newly postpartum mama.

Here’s to feeling held, nourished, and supported—one warm bowl at a time.
