Beso drink is a shake of lightly roasted barley flour with honey or sugar. During the postpartum phase, it helps restrengthen the body, but it is also very famous among runners. I recently discovered that it happens to also be THE best remedy when feeling nauseous!

Coffee isn't a random drink in Ethiopia, it involves an entire ceremony : in some parts of Ethiopia, the woman of the house (or a younger woman in the household) performs the two- to three-hour coffee ceremony three times each day. It is also customary to perform the ceremony when welcoming visitors into the home and in times of celebration.
Hag Sameah!

Atmit is the dish that our mums love the most! It is based on Ethiopian oat, it is very nutritious, easily digestible, high in protein and in calorie content. As a bonus, it also enhances milk production.

Flax seeds, or Telba, as it is called in Amharic, have been grown and used around the world for over 5,000 years. This seed is today considered a "superfood", due to the various health benefits it offers: it helps digestion, reduces cholesterol, is a great source of anti-oxidants and omega 3 and much more.

Chikko became my passion as soon as I tasted it ! These are biscuits made from barley conserved with distilled spiced butter. They are full of proteins, and promote drinking which is very good for milk production. The best snack on earth, even when not in postpartum !

Professionals from the field are starting to hear about Michu and partnerships are being made with dulas! Olivia Franco Navon Doula and others start to give Michu's package to the new mums that just gave birth !

Teaming up with Michu - Postpartum Comfort & Recovery Food; the Ethiopian Way for an easier postpartum experience!

As a doula, I always try to get useful information to benefit the women I work with, whether it’s the latest scientific research, or time-honored traditions from around the world.

Ethiopian women have long taken care of new moms in their community with rich and nutritious postpartum food, facilitating a faster and smoother recovery.

That’s why I’m happy to team up with Michu - Postpartum Comfort & Recovery Food; the Ethiopian Way, and give each mom I support a lovely basket of Genfo, Atmit, Chiko, Beso and Telba. Amazingly nutritious, not to mention yummy!
