No appetite, any one else?

my LO is 13 days old and I have had no appetite since having him. I am making myself eat but the food tastes weird and makes me nauseous! Even stuff I love like ice cream or donuts lol. Nothing sounds good!! I'm EBF and worried about my own body being replenished for my baby and me. I'm taking my prenatals to help. Just weird, I loved food when preggo now I hate thinking about food or eating it!!

    That is a sign of postpartum depression. Do you have any other symptoms? Although I did experience this for the first week or so without any other symptoms of PPD. Once I started to get in a routine of making myself eat, my appetite slowly came back.

    I had that too but mainly because i was afraid that what i ate would give my baby gas since she had a horrible night of constant tummy ache at 3 days old! But then my supply went down so i had to eat, give it time and try to get help with the baby, you might be sleep deprived

    Not depressed - tired and not a lot of energy. But that's probably Bc I have a 16 month old boy and now 13day old boy and still recovering physically from delivery. I just was worried for my own body, like a machine needs fuel to run, mine (and y'all's) is working overtime to nurse baby every 2 hours. Just didn't experience aversion to food with my first, weird.

    I also have had no appetite. I love to eat, before being pregnant and throughout pregnancy. I think a lot of it for me is not having energy even to get up off the couch and get something to eat haha. But not wanting to eat is really weirding me out since I've never been like this.

    I have decided it's just hormonal changes and lack of sleep! Both have serious side effects! But the hormones will level and sleep will come!! As will our appetites haha.

    I have no appetite either! I thought it was the pain medication I was prescribed after my c section, but now it's been about 5 days since I stopped taking it and still no appetite. I've never had to actually force myself to eat before. And nothing is satisfying.
