Smack your bum missus!!!

NEW BNB RULE: When you sit down to your computer YOU MUST have a pint of water next to you. This must be drunk and replaced every hour!

I'm a bit rubbish at remembering to eat sometimes.....unless it's creme eggs
Do you like Babybels?? They do loads of different cheeses now - I like the yellow ones. They are quick and easy.

porridge for breakfast every morning i think

tbh i havent been eating / drinking very much cos i just dont seem to have the time, i have the time to be on here though so mebbe i'll stop coming on so much and have something to eat instead

EAT!!!! x

I read this yesterday when replying to another thread -

"Studies have shown that most healthy breastfeeding women maintain an abundant milk supply while taking in 1800-2200 (or more) calories per day. Consuming less than 1500-1800 calories per day (most women should stay at the high end of this range) may put your milk supply at risk, as may a sudden drop in caloric intake. "

Someone questioned it on the other thread but it's from https://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/mom/mom-calories-fluids.html a website recommended by a bf mw who has been supporting me.

I'm not saying that not eating has effected your supply just thought you might be interested to read it(and there are loads of other reasons you should be eating!!!). And eat while you type (and bf, and the million other things you've got to do).

Well done for keeping going xxxxx

i did suspect that not eating much might have had something to do with it...silly me, its all my own fault, i have brought my bottle of apple juice and two bottles on water onto my desk so i will remember to drink them, i do drink tonnnns of coffee everyday, its decaffeinated but i still dont think it counts as fluid does it?

go me, tonight for tea i had hummus and pitta breads with lamb chops i can eat after all lmao

Hi Ellie,

You are doing really well - two months is brilliant. I think Lisa is right, you are right on the cusp of it becoming a lot easier - you have gone through the initial getting the baby and yourself used to latching on, the learning when baby is hungry, coping with the night feeds, learning to bf in public etc - and come out the other end. It now becomes a lot easier.

Happy 2 Month Anniversary!!!

When I had Hebe on 15th October, I said to myself that I would feed her till Christmas ( mainly because I was gagging to get smashed!! ) which is about the same lenght of time you've already done. I promise you everything since Christmas has been a doddle!!!

My MIL makes me flapjacks crammed full of oats, these have really helped my supply, I keep them in little bags in the freezer and get out a bag each morning and snack on them through the day!
