Our nurse and nutitionist Katy Bradbury suggests a good electrolyte mixture for labour and childbirth should aim to maintain hydration, energy levels, and balance of essential minerals. Here's a simple and effective recipe for an electrolyte drink to offer your partner as they heroically bring your babe into the world.

Ingredients:

Water: 1 liter (preferably filtered or mineral water). Sea salt or Himalayan salt: 1/4 teaspoon (provides sodium and trace minerals). Coconut water: 1 cup (contains natural electrolytes like potassium). Honey or maple syrup: 1-2 tablespoons (for glucose and energy). Lemon juice: 1-2 tablespoons (for flavor and a boost of vitamin C).
