Breastfeeding

do u eat more when BFing or preg?

i know u are supposed to intake more calories when BFing than when u are preg.  i definitely ate more when preg though.  partly b/c i didn't care about getting bigger, and b/c i ate out often...now i just don't have the time and i'm not as hungry.

  • i eat a lot more now - because the kitchen is so close. also, i'm an emotional eater. if i can't soothe her, i eat. =(
  • I eat more now.  I wish I didn't, but I am starving all the time :(

  • I definitely ate more bfing. I no longer had the fun heartburn of pregnancy to deal with.

  • I have been eating a lot more since BF. It seems like it is taking a lot more effort that babymaking.
  • Pregnant, except for the last 2 wks, I lost my appetite.  I had it back for the first couple days pp but now it's gone again.  I'm just not interested in eating anymore.  I eat when I'm really starving, but am content after a few crackers or a slice of bread.  DH is getting really frustrated when he asks what we're doing for dinner and I say I'm not hungry.  Poor guy.
  • I'm starving a lot- I feel hungrier now (possibly b/c I don't have a huge baby blocking all of the room in my stomach?) than I did when I was pregnant.  I'm not sure if I eat more, but definitely just as much.
