OMG, I'm still a bottomless pit and it's been 8 months since I stopped nursing my second. That's the downside when you stop. I gained 10 lbs after I stopped nursing my oldest and I guess the stress of the move overseas helped after I stopped nursing my second. Otherwise, I'm sure I would have gained another 10 lbs. :O </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-else-a-bottomless-pit-while-they-were-bfing#post-1408902 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 09:38:32 +0000 singingbee 1408902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always so hungry! I'm going to have to really watch it when I wean her because I'm used to eating all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-else-a-bottomless-pit-while-they-were-bfing#post-1408899 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 09:35:05 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1408899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm tandem nursing my 22 month old and my 10 day old and I'm CONSTANTLY starving. It's baaaaad. The day my milk came in DH offered to go get donuts for breakfast and I basically barked at him, "I NEED PROTEIN NOT DANISHES!" LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-else-a-bottomless-pit-while-they-were-bfing#post-1408893 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 09:29:58 +0000 lamariniere 1408893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS yes, I ate constantly, but he was also nursing every 90 minutes around the clock. I'm now EBF our 10 week old and she eats less frequently and I'm definitely not hungry like the wolf like I was with DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-else-a-bottomless-pit-while-they-were-bfing#post-1408876 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 09:17:10 +0000 MoonMoon 1408876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um...yeah. 300-500 extra calories a day is a joke-I think I'm eating 1000 extra a day easy! And starving! I'm really going to miss this... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-else-a-bottomless-pit-while-they-were-bfing#post-1408848 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 08:44:24 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1408848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, yes. Combined with taking Domperidone, it's baaaad. I'm hungry all the time, but I don't get full thanks to the Dom. I have honestly been gaining weight I think... Fail! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-else-a-bottomless-pit-while-they-were-bfing#post-1408763 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 06:30:24 +0000 yin 1408763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am such a piggy. Feels like I'm always eating. I swear our grocery bill has gone up a lot since DS2 was born just to support my increased appetite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-else-a-bottomless-pit-while-they-were-bfing#post-1408710 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 01:05:37 +0000 shopaholic 1408710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! what am I going to do when we stop BFing and really have to limit intake? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-else-a-bottomless-pit-while-they-were-bfing#post-1408709 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 01:05:25 +0000 HLK208 1408709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...the food I ate during the first year I BF both kids, the food that I HAD to have, sounds awful while being pregnant again!

DD will be 5 months on Wednesday &amp; for the past few weeks I have been STARVING. I literally ate a giant bowl of oatmeal before bed last night &amp; woke up at 3am so hungry thought I would pass out on te way to the kitchen. It's like the third trimester all over again. I eat more than my husband!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-else-a-bottomless-pit-while-they-were-bfing#post-1408464 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 21:18:48 +0000 betsyboop 1408464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I would eat leftovers from that night's dinner during my midnight pumping session! I ate more than I ever have, but lost all of the baby weight and then some. I gained a few back after I weaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-else-a-bottomless-pit-while-they-were-bfing#post-1408456 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 21:11:49 +0000 ALV91711 1408456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I'm either eating or planning what to eat next.
