how much do you eat when breastfeed?

[mylittlebubs]

That's the question I seem to get hungry all the time. I feed my LO every 2 hours or less. Many times when i feed him i feel nauseous ( like when I was pregnant ). Why is that?

I was hungry all the time until Kaya was about 6 months, then things settled down. I wouldn't worry too much about what you're eating - if you're hungry it means your body's needing the food. That said, when you stop breast feeding you have to remember to adjust the amount you eat downwards or you may well put on weight.

tell me about it.... shes been feeding on me all morning... had cereal at 6.30am ish and Im now STARVING!!
Yeh it burns 500 calories but you need to eat 500 calories or you feel nauseus!!

I eat LOADS now. I am always so hungry. It used to be where my Dh finished my plate, now I finish his sometimes.
