my mom still keeps telling me my milk will dry up if I don't eat a meal. I just haven't had an appetite since the baby was born which was only 6 days ago. I've been eating healthy snacks all day and sometimes I try to eat a little more but I never finish it. I have milk though... I'm just worried my eating will affect it
your milk won't dry up from not eating. as long as you're nursing milk will be there. but what CAN happen if you don't get enough calories, your body will take all of your nutrients and give them to the baby, do that long enough and your body will go into starvation mode, so when your body runs out of nutrients it'll start eating away at muscle tissue and so on.
this happened to me with my first, so I ended up struggling with anorexia for 3 years until I got pregnant with my second.
