DO YOU HAVE TO EAT A LOT WHILE BREASTFEEDING?? SOMETIMES I DON'T WANT TO EAT.. BUT I FORCE MYSELF…

You burn about 500 calories while bf. You don't have to eat alot but make sure to eat healthy when you do. Fruit is good. And get some protein in.

what kind of protein?? @js_kidsmom

Chicken, lean meat, peanut butter, cheese

You can even do a protein shake.

oh OK

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.

thanks @jaxmama

@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?
