DO YOU HAVE TO EAT A LOT WHILE BREASTFEEDING?? SOMETIMES I DON'T WANT TO EAT.. BUT I FORCE MYSELF ANYWAYS.. I JUST RATHER EAT SOME FRUIT OR DRINK WATER AND JUICE
for any breastfeeding advice or questions you can ask @cubanese she is a certified lactation consultant
Yes you have to eat a good amount, for you and for your milk supply because you burn calories. Also the more nutrients in your milk the better for baby! I had the same problem in the first few weeks, all I wanted to do was drink and not eat I would get nauseous. Try smoothies 🙂 or any form of drinks that are liquid (protein shakes maybe?) Crackers, soup (helped me a lot,) etc.
@cubanese I actually have a question haha. my baby is sick with the flu so she isn't eating a whole lot. how do I keep my supply from drying up?
