I love it- I wasn't hungry at all during pregnancy, but now I can't get enough and still lose weight!</p> <p>Those cheese crackers with peanut butter were a lifesaver, I would eat them in the middle of the night while pumping. Don't need midnight snacks as often now, just lots of water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-find-you-were-always-hungry-while-breastfeeding#post-190726 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 22:28:08 +0000 Mrs. Pen 190726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: I heard it was much more than like, like 800!!</p> <p>YES. I ate more during those first couple months than I did while pregnant, and more frequently. Cobi ate on a 2-hour schedule, and I did too! I also drank gallons of water and tea. </p> <p>I started eating more normally after the first month. At 3.5 mos I eat three meals and usually two snacks a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-find-you-were-always-hungry-while-breastfeeding#post-190705 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 22:12:07 +0000 Mrs. Train 190705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Hungry and thirsty all the time. Especially during growth spurts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-find-you-were-always-hungry-while-breastfeeding#post-190702 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 22:07:54 +0000 MsMini 190702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So hungry and SOOOO thirtsy. I feel like all I do is eat and drink all day long! I have had to work hard to get the extra protein I need in, because my milk quality definitely drops when I eat more carbs and less protein. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-find-you-were-always-hungry-while-breastfeeding#post-190688 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 22:00:57 +0000 HLK208 190688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I feel like I NEED protein...cheese sticks and protein bars and is what my snacking consists of now paired with a ton of water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-find-you-were-always-hungry-while-breastfeeding#post-190180 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:48:05 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 190180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: oh and ditto on the thirsty. I have to gulp down a glass of water everytime! (didn't have that with Mavrick, which is odd) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-find-you-were-always-hungry-while-breastfeeding#post-190177 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:47:37 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 190177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously I EAT SO MUCH!!!!!! I read somewhere (maybe I'm wrong) but producing milk burns 400 calories. So if baby eats a lot and you have to produce more, then you burn lots of calories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-find-you-were-always-hungry-while-breastfeeding#post-190168 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:46:40 +0000 chopsuey 190168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat up mama! :)<br /> I didn't have crazy hunger while nursing. I was always thirsty though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-find-you-were-always-hungry-while-breastfeeding#post-190166 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:46:37 +0000 Mrs. Bee 190166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was hungrier breastfeeding than pregnant. 8 months and i'm still starving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-find-you-were-always-hungry-while-breastfeeding#post-190156 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:45:36 +0000 mediagirl 190156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously, we're on day 3 here and I can't stop eating! I feel like there is not enough food in the world for me right now. I think I need an upstairs fridge to hold some lunchmeat, bread and drinks so I don't have to come downstairs to my kitchen to get food after a feeding. :)</p> <p>Also...I never realized how much I loved turkey sandwiches until I didn't eat them for 10 months!!! </p>
