Snack Ideas when Breastfeeding

[Sonyax]

Hi Ladies Can you give me a few ideas please?

I know you have to make sure you drink plenty

I need to get an idea of some of the things that are good to snack on for energy or when you miss dinner/middle of the night etc while breastfeeding.
Am gonna try not to go the Mars Bar route

Thank you

FLAPJACKS!!! I made a tray of them this morning...

Very easy and cheap to make rather than buy. Bung them in the oven while baby naps!! Perfect!

Porridge bars?? Toast, think i've eaten more toast than i ever have in my life since BF You have to buy sliced bread though so that you can make it while holding crying baby

I lived off cheese on toast when I got home.....mmmmm......

What a great subject !!!! Thank you ladies I've just finished dinner and now I want flapjacks
Have you had to watch your wieght at all or has it all balanced out with the feeding?

It's brilliant early on because you seem to be able to eat and eat and yet the weight is slowly dropping off of you. I put 3 stone on and lost almost 2 in the first month without doing a thing....except stuffing my face!! Now she's weaning can eat a lot without gaining but if I watch what I eat I can lose it relatively easily.....I just cant be arsed to watch what I eat!

I knew chocolate would appear soon well at least I know that while i'm feeding i'll get away with it
