All the things a new mom and her baby need (plus a little something small for dad)

When it comes to nourishing one’s belly and spirit after giving birth, these are the things that truly help: etrog and grapefruit juice to strengthen the womb, halva squares for instant bursts of energy, Belgian chocolate balls coated in coconut, a specialty kit for crafting Golden milk (ingredients and easy recipe included), and cumin for boosting milk supply and many other necessary minerals. Find go-to, quick snacks like sesame bark coated in milk chocolate, Halva covered caramelized nuts, medjool dates, rosemary and poppy seed crackers and roasted, sesame tehini for dipping. For the bundle of joy, an amazingly soft handmade-in-Jerusalem lovie doll, Jelly sweets jar. Plus, before we forget, a beer (just so dad doesn’t feel bad).
