[quote=Anonymous]I was also nonstop hungry during breastfeeding -- the baby's getting bigger and breastmilk is a less efficient energy source than blood transfusions, so it makes sense you need more energy too. I would talk to your doctor about whether you're actually eating enough; generally when breastfeeding you need to eat as much or more than you did while pregnant. You could try taking it easy on the exercise front if you want, but I'm not sure it would help. I would also say as someone who exercised through pregnancy and postpartum, the exercise endorphins really helped keep my mood good so if you cut back on exercise and find yourself sadder/more hormonal, be kind to yourself and figure that out too. Good luck! The amount of energy it takes to sustain a baby is A LOT.[/quote]
