[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you drinking enough water? Are you sure you’re eating enough? Maybe you need to add more iron to your diet.

But…also having a newborn is exhausting. Period. It felt like I was hit by a truck sometimes. [/quote]

I’m eating about every 4 hours. My normal eating habits. I drink about 64-80oz of water a day. I feed every 2 hours for usually 1 hour at a time.[/quote]

You’re not eating enough. Unless you’re eating a significant amount, every 4 hours is too long. You need to eat and drink every 2-3 hours. High protein, fat, and carbs. I ate enough for two grown men when I was breastfeeding. What exactly are you eating throughout the day and what are the portion sizes? [/quote]

Around 7:30am I do a protein drink and a protein bar in the morning.

Around 11:30am I do a snack plate with hard boiled eggs, cheese, crackers, dip, and fruit for lunch.

Around 3:30 I do a greek yogurt cup for a snack.

Around 7:30 I do pasta, chicken salad, or pizza for dinner.

Around 11:30 I do another protein bar.

I drink water in between. I don’t drink caffeine or any energy drinks. [/quote]

That’s not enough food. [/quote]
