Braising is a cooking technique which helps retain the flavours of the meat without altering the nutrients. It is totally safe to eat braised meat like beef or pork while you're pregnant. However, the meat should be braised in homemade stock, rather than with medicinal herbs (as these might cause harm to your health).

During postpartum recovery, it is essential that mummy replenishes her lost nutrients. A lot of protein can come out of braised meat, so postpartum mummies should have as much of it as possible. Plus, it is low in calories!

Breastfeeding mummies are hungry mummies! The best way to fill up your stomach and make sure your child is receiving plenty of nutrients is by adding braised meat into your diet. It is healthier than fried meat and tastier than baked or roasted meat.

Babies who are weaned can most definitely enjoy braised meat. However, pureed ones are recommended for babies below 1 year old.
