Weird craving? 3 gallons of milk a week!

bubblesmtu · November 2013

Anyone else want to drink milk like crazy? And it must be 2%, skim is gross. Just H and I drink 3+ gallons of milk a week now. Some of the best foods go great with milk though... Oreos, cake, donuts...

Maybe you have a calcium deficiency. I crave milk too.

bubblesmtu · November 2013

I'll have to look up of you can possibly take too much calcium and maybe add in a supplement. Baby girl will have strong bones at this rate

DH and I normally go through 3+ gallons of milk a week. But I also grew up with a rule that we drank nothing but milk at dinner. I still follow this rule and DH has also taken it on. We plan to raise our kids with this rule too.

I don't like milk but for the past couple weeks it's all a want whether with a bowl of cereal or just a glass of it. I can't seem to get enough of it right now.

kimvpthompson · November 2013

Chocolate milk has been my go-to these last few weeks! Definitely been drinking way more than normal!

lp0 · November 2013

I can't get enough milk! It's all
I wanted when I was pregnant with DS too.

cpiganelli · November 2013

I'm in the same boat, I myself have been drinking a gallon almost every 3rd day. Dr said milk is extremely good for both me and baby, so drink away!

m88bloom · November 2013

I'm with you. I HATE milk normally but have been going through 2 gallons all by myself (SO is lactose). I'm guessing LO just wants it. so I go with it.

CarrieAlyce · November 2013

Me too! I love milk! It goes fast around here!

Lroberts1187 · November 2013

I'm like that not pregnant! Milk is my favorite drink evahhhhhh!

Brandi81012 · November 2013

I was not normally a milk "by choice" drinker before 2nd and 3rd tri but it is my go to drink besides water these days!

cboink · November 2013

I love milk normally but I am drinking much more now since being pregnant. 3-4 gallons a week here and I am the only one drinking it.

2010weddinggal · November 2013

Yeah sign me up for drinking all the milk! I love it

fauxvegan · November 2013

I drink chocolate soy milk every day! Not as much as everyone else; more like 1.5 gallons a week. I agree though, all milk is delish!!

Caitlinh27 · November 2013

Milk with Ovaltine!!

mommascircus3 · November 2013

I got through about 2-3 gallons of milk a week too it's all I drink other than water and the worst part is I'm lactose intolerant but that has gone away since I got pregnant which is weird but fine by me because I LOVE milk!

Crgardner957 · November 2013

I've been making chocolate milk like crazy the past 2 weeks. Milk is expensive!!

peitri · November 2013

I love me some milk, but I'm more of just a gallon a week girl.

AGriffin620 · November 2013

I actually started craving milk about two weeks ago. It is all I want and I just can't get enough.

kendalsheryl · November 2013

We were going though 2.5-3 gallons a week for first 6 months, then I tested high for gestational diabetes and just 4oz will blow my sugars out the water so no more milk for me

very sad. First post partum snack will be double stuffed Oreos with HUGE glass of milk !!

HerbanMom · November 2013

The last 2-3 weeks I could not get enough chocolate milk. I wanted chocolate milk with everything. frikkin. thing. I've never been a milk drinker nor is the rest of the fam-bam, so it was pretty crazy when one week I cleared 2 gallons by myself, haha. Then wondered why I couldn't poop :-/

I was raised the same way. DH will only have milk in his cereal and he gives the cats whatever is left in the bowl when his cereal is gone. But my son and I still follow this rule and so will Ds2.

Auralora · November 2013

Yes I have been been drinking milk all day for the past 2 weeks. I am 34 weeks right now it's so weird.

Mrbatesisinnocent · November 2013

We've gone from 1 gallon to 2 gallons a week. Love the cow juice!

Never occurred to me that milk would affect GD- that sucks and is very sad for you!

bty19 · November 2013

speaking of oreos - the new gingerbread ones are to DIE FOR!!!!

I have always enjoyed milk however I am drinking lots more since pregnant.

willowprincess · November 2013

I don't crave it right now, but we go through 7-9 gallons a week in our house. I don't know that I could drink much more.

*Mrs*Rohrbaugh* · November 2013

I go through about a gallon of milk a week by myself. It's not as bad as it was about a month ago, but that's all I wanted....and ice cream, of course!

grannyweatherwax · November 2013

Well I have a toddler who LOVES milk & so do I. We go through a gallon every day and a half.

swirl25 · November 2013

We go through a TON of milk here too....I have been craving glasses of it (usually with Oreos or something sweet...oops) and DD LOVES milk and can go through nearly a gallon on her own within a week. So I am constantly buying it!

lemlemlem · November 2013

I love milk. I only drink two 8 oz glasses a day right now because of GD. My husband and I go through a gallon a week. Milk and water have always been my go to drinks. I have been craving chocolate milk a lot this pregnancy, which I can't have much of anymore because of GD. However, if I plan smart (i.e. eat a salad and chicken) I can usually have a pint of chocolate milk without any effect on my blood sugar.

Nechamamaslovsky · November 2013

I can't imagine going without milk! Bummer. I've always been a big milk drinker but for sure have upped my consumption since the pregnancy started.

synergy_gd · November 2013

I drink a lot of milk normally but we're definitely going through even more of it at the moment. I just had a glass of milk and more cereal as my 11s

mmluvswdw · November 2013

I hate water so milk is my go to we've been at 3-5 gallons a week since I found out i was pregnant!

This was a rule when I was growing up too! My husband doesn't care for milk, but I have at least one glass every night with dinner. We've always gone through at least two gallons a week, even before I was pregnant.

I remember pizza night was extra special! We only had to have 1 glass and then we could have water or juice but never pop unless we were out to eat.

jax63081 · November 2013

I love milk and have always had at least 1 glass a day. Now every morning I have a glass of chocolate milk with breakfast. I also love me some oreos and milk. Yum!!! Between DS and I, we go through about 2 gallons a week.
