If you’re breastfeeding and pregnant do you need to consume an additional amount of calories? I feel…

I mean I would stock up on proteins and fruits smoothies . I'll soon find that out but I noticed when I didn't eat a hearty meal I felt famished and major headache and that was while not being pregnant and I still had an appetite like I was pregnant . So I would think so being pregnant and breastfeeding your body is working a lot

I just eat my normal 3 meals and 3 snacks 100% water

@malasyia.sincere, @beebaby, thanks ladies. Haven’t been able to get to the OB for an initial appointment & ive been finding that a simple salad or regularly simple breakfast like; bagel/cereal/ or yogurt does not fill me up. I’ll feel completely sick to my stomach hungry within an hour or two.

Well eat. I have high protein meals. They keep me full

@beebaby, oh I have been.

Good

Your body requires an additional 500 cals a day while breastfeeding!

Almonds helped me sooooooo much!
