Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I don't feel like eating.....

DS will be two weeks tomorrow.  And while I am beyond tired, I know I still need to eat, but I just don't feel like it.  DH has been cooking dinner for us every night while he's on vacation, but I don't want anything that he cooks...and nothing sounds good (I don't even want any chocolate...and that's just not normal for me).  I have dinner sitting beside me right now....has been there for about 30 minutes....and is still un-touched.  Anybody else get like this and if so, when does it get better???

Re: I don't feel like eating.....

  • Are you having a little bit of the baby blues?

    Sometimes when I get sad, I don't want to eat.

    Batman likes to watch cartoons on the weekends. Whatever.

  • I went through this for a few weeks in the beginning.  I know you don't want to, but you HAVE to eat.  If you're BFing you need food to establish/maintain your supply, and even if you don't you nee it for energy.  You just have to force yourself to eat throughout the day until your appetite comes back.  GL!!

  • It took me a good week or so to get my appetite back.  I didn't do anything special, it just showed up one day.  Just remember, if you're breastfeeding, you've got to eat food to make food.....at least snack on something nutritious.

  • I went through this too.. I think for me it lasted a good 3 weeks - 4 weeks where I didn't want to eat. I actually ended up having to FIND something appetizing and make it myself.

     

  • I still have to force myself to eat. I hope you get your appitite back soon.
  • I went through this and am still experiencing it a bit.  I went from snacking all the time while I was pregnant to not being interested in any snacks, which is odd for me.  Like pp said, force yourself and it will get better slowly.

  • Give it a week or two and you should be a lot better. I was the same way until about week 2.5 and then I become a ravenous pig. Do you BF or pump?
