Do you have cravings for sweets?

My friend that is EP and I (EBF) both have them, just wondering if its anorm? And we both haven't lost the baby weight, must be why! (Although I know it took me forever to lose it with the first two!)

I also EBF and I am also craving sweets chocolate mostly. I am only down 10 lbs at 6 weeks. Oh well it took me 6 months to a year to loose it all with my other 2 also.

OMG yes! I have always had such good self control and right now, not so much.

YES! But sadly no chocolate for me. Makes J's reflux flare up.

Sweets and red meat...I feel like I can never get full!

Wow, yes! Seriously, all the time. While I was pregnant my cravings were healthy - skim milk, Total cereal, etc. Now it is just chocolate, donuts, etc. It is really hard to resist.

Yes and from what I've read it's very common for BF'ing women, reason I've heard is that in order for your body to make the breastmilk, it uses a lot of the sugar in your body. As a result you crave sugar/sweets to replace it. Makes sense to me since BM is really sweet (and sticky!)

I love this theory!! I have been eating tons of girl scout cookies and cake, etc. I love the sweets and couldn't figure out why it has gotten so bad! I didn't even crave sweets or really anything while pregnant.
