nbr (kind of): post-baby cravings?

jlb_519 · August 2011

Just had to ask because its happened to me...I have been craving chocolate hard core since LO was born. Before that, I hated chocolate. I think its bizarre! I'm curious, does anyone else have cravings for things you didn't used to like??

I have a serious chocolate obsession/sweet tooth post baby. I think its because I breastfeed so my body wants more calcium (I dont drink milk, I take a supplement but forget most days). But Im curious, maybe it is just a post baby thing. Anyway, Godiva sends me emails and its torture!

Same here. Chocolate and milk. When I hit 3 weeks pp I chugged milk for about 2 weeks straight. Before that I barely ever drank milk, unless I had some cereal.

Same here with the sweet tooth! I feel like a chocolate addict. That and sandwiches. I got totally grossed out by sandwiches when I was pregnant so I never ate them (and ate them only rarely before that) and now I can't get enough.

I must have Chocolate all the time now! I used to eat it every once in a while, but now I want it EVERY day! Maybe it is a breastfeeding thing? IDK...

Me too!

During pregnancy I had more of a savory tooth - meat, meat, meat, salt, you name it. I had no sweet tooth to speak of.

Immediately after the baby popped out I have had to have some chocolate every. single. day. Sometimes I'll just grab a small handful of chocolate chips out of the pantry. More often than not, it's a big bowl of chocolate ice cream.

I've always liked chocolate, but never before have I felt like I needed some every day.

This! I have to watch how much milk I drink now, which is bizarre for me. If I don't, I'll drink a quart in a day! Thinking about it makes me queasy, but drinking it is heavenly. So weird!

I could live off chocolate, soda and ice coffee since having the baby. Not really helping with the weight loss.

yellow mustard. i never liked it before, and was strictly a spicy brown user, but now i want it on everything.

holly321 · August 2011

I have been wanting mustard lately too, strange. And I always want hotdogs and onions now too. Not necessarily together.

While pregnant, I had no desire for beef, pork, or chocolate. The beef and pork made me sick, the chocolate gave me indigestion. Now post pregnancy I crave these all the time!

Thanks gals! Glad to know i'm not the only one who can't go a day without chocolate!! It's strange how a baby makes us change!

Haha, I've done that. I have to watch myself as well. I went through a gallon so quickly I got queasy one day.
