I'm EBF and I have to say I been a lot more hungry. I feed my little one on demand and I stay hydrated but if I used to eat only cereal for breakfast, I now have to eat something more than that like eggs or a bagel, just because it doesn't sustain me until lunch. I feel bad because I look like a fatty ( thank God I haven't gained weight from it) I have been eating healthy though, except I do have to have something sweet at least once a day.... Just to seal the meal lol I know I'm suppose to eat a few extra calories a day, and to be honest I'm enjoying using it as an excuse to eat lol am I the only one!? :-/
Yes!! And I agree on the sweets. I feel like I crave them more now than when I was pregnant!!
Yes!!! When I was preggo I limited my sweets intake a lot. Now I must have dessert!!! Lol ;;)
@n3na94 Do you feel like the caffeine/sugar in the chocolate, etc. affects your LO? I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or what, but sometimes I feel like it does so then I limit the sweets that I'm eating even though I'm craving them so much!
How is it affecting your LO!? I haven't really payed attention to it, He's been pooping fine and all but I do limit caffeine/ chocolate.! Just because I heard to much caffeine is not good for them @chrisaw
Yes! I went back to work on Monday and I'm so hungry all the time now! I think part of it is that I'm back on a regular schedule and actually paying attention to myself
@n3na94 one day I felt like it made him hyper (if that's even possible) but the next time he seemed fine. So I'm assuming it was a coincidence. I rarely have caffeine in my system since I don't drink coffee or pop or anything like that, so really the only way would be from the sweets. But I'm trying to watch those!

Me too lol I stopped drinking coffee and coke when I was preggo with my little one but Maybe it could happen but if we eat way too much sugar. I think if we limit sweets to once a day and it's not way to sugary, it won't affect them. Once in a while mamas can give in to cravings lol

Me exactly. I snack constantly and I'm obsessed with sweets! I wonder why breastfeeding makes us crave sweets so much?

I have four meals a day -- breakfast at 6am, second breakfast at 10am, lunch at 2pm, and dinner at 7pm. Maybe dessert counts as a 5th meal? I've been craving sweets too. I had an ice-cream Snickers bar today (*orgasm*) AND Newman-Os with milk.
