After pregnancy

Im not sure where to post this question. I hope you ladies cab help. I had my baby 2 weeks ago. I am breastfeedinh her and giving formula. But I have been so hungry even after a meal. I eat what I can but I'm still hungry afterwards. Sometimes I just can't figure out what I want to eat, and its so hard to for me to eat foods. Its like my stomach wants food but it's very picky. And because of that I've been lazy and sung formula.

As mariluv said eat a lil a lot of the time I over worked myself for the first 3.5 mo every nite I was getting up 4-5 times to feed and pumped at the same time cause I worked 5hrs each day mon-fri and didn't want husband to have to get up cause if worked 16 hr days six days a week but finally I got so exhausted he had to get up and help feed while I pumped and had a snack. The main things I could eat were apples bananas and toster struddles and a glass of milk. Which helped a lot.

Sorry wasn't finished, stupid phone. I mentioned in the last line: I've gotten lazy and supplementing formula. Is this normal, has anyone else experienced this?
