What are the best freezer meals for postpartum meal prep with a toddler?

You know that moment when you’re holding a sleepy baby in one arm, trying to stir a pot with the other, while your toddler is climbing the cabinets like a tiny mountaineer? That’s the reality of postpartum meal prep when you’ve already got a little one running around. A Reddit user recently shared their second round of postpartum meal prep, and it struck a chord with so many of us. They talked about the sheer challenge of preparing freezer meals while caring for a toddler, and how they managed by doing ingredient prep first, with help from their spouse. It got me thinking: how can we make this process smoother, less stressful, and actually doable without spending entire days in the kitchen? Let me share what I’ve learned from years of cooking with kids—and from my own messy, flour-covered adventures.
