Any moms who bf not hungry

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I usually eat a small breakfast, have a snack but then could easily skip lunch and not eat until dinner.  i know i need to eat well in order to keep up my supply but i am not hungry and nothing sounds appealing.  Anyone else experience this?

    Absolutely, this was my story.  All I did during labor was talk about how starving I was.  But the second I gave birth I lost my appetite and nothing sounded good.  I had to force myself to eat and drink because I was not hungry or thirsty at all.  But I knew I had to for BF.  It was awful.  I would gag on my food because it's like my body was rejecting any food I put in my mouth.  It's a little better now but I still have trouble eating my breakfast.

    I was that way the first 2-3 months.  Now I sometimes forget to eat, but I eat a TON after DS goes to bed!

    yeah, totally had no appetite for the first month.  lost all the baby weight and then some.  then the appetite came back with a vengeance, along with 5 pounds which are sticking around...

    I was like this for a few weeks after giving birth, then all the sudden I was hungry all the time.  I have days where I don't have much of an appetite, then others that I eat non-stop.

    I was the same way. I found it helpful to eat on a schedule and it's been easier now that I'm back at work. At home it was just too easy not to eat when I wasn't really hungry because I was so into playing with and caring for the baby.

    i had NO appetite for the first month.  i worried it was PPD, but I think it's just common.  then i started eating everything in sight.  i still don't get starving like i used to before i even got pg.  food is kind of secondary, along with everything else, you know.
