Pregnancy

Mums-to-be, wheat bran is an excellent source of fibre and can ease pregnancy digestion issues. The nutrients it contains are great for your skin and hair. The vitamins in wheat bran can also boost your baby's health, especially vision development.

Postpartum

Rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals, and low in calories, wheat bran is a great food for new mothers. It promotes good digestive health, and has antioxidant and cancer-fighting properties. Start slow, then increase gradually to let your body adjust to all the extra fibre.

Breastfeeding

Whole grains like wheat bran are excellent for breastfeeding mums, because they're rich in fibre and vitamins and minerals. However, wheat bran could make your baby gassy. If you notice your baby feeling gassy or bloated, keep track of your food to see if your wheat bran intake could be the culprit.

Baby

Wheat bran's fibre content makes it ideal to aid your baby's digestion, helping to prevent issues like constipation. Just remember to introduce it in small amounts after your baby starts solids at six months of age.
