Hungry all the time while breastfeeding!

[Christine628]

I've been breastfeeding for about two weeks now and I feel like I eat more now than I did while I was pregnant!  Has anyone else had or have this? I've heard breastfeeding helps you lose weight but I feel like I'm gonna gain more with how much I'm pigging out!

Still eat though because we've lost 15kilos since virtual and with the help of breastfeeding even though I've been eating like the biggest pig lol you'll be fine just try make healthy food choices when you can :) it's good for Voth you and baby!

I read an article that you may be more hungry while breastfeeding because you use so much energy to create breastmilk. It's important to eat if your hungry because if you don't when you do, your body will think it's starving and store all those calories as fat.
