How come all I want to eat are these things all day long??!!
I thought you were only supposed to have cravings while you are pregnant, not afterward! I didn't even really have cravings when I was pregnant. I blame it on the nursing!
That's totally true! For postpartum moms I usually drop by a box of donuts for this very reason. (My sister-in-law was the one to show me the ropes of postpartum cravings by dropping by a box of donuts for me.)
Wish we lived closer so I could give you your own box.
I was the same way! I seriously ate SO many milkshakes and cookies and a ton of candy. It was kind of fun because even though I was eating crap I was still losing weight just because I'd had the baby. Once my weight loss came to a screeching halt I decided it was time to cut back a little, but I say enjoy!! Nursing moms need some extra calories, right ? :)
I know what you mean...I have been 10x more hungry & into sweets since I've been breastfeeding!!! You burn 500 calories a day, but what they don't tell you is that you body wants to hold on to those last 5-10 lbs to continue lactating...oh, well- it's all worth it for our little guys!!! Thank you so much for the adorable Baby gap onesie and denim shorts! You guys are so sweet to think of us~
oh, people say, Im eating for two when they are preggo, but I was never extra hungry till I was nursing, you are buring WAY more calories and you are ALWAYS starving!
We met at BYU. We were married in July 2006. We welcomed our son in July 2009 and our little girl in Nov 2011. Sam is an Orthopaedic Surgery resident at Texas Tech. I am a retired Kindergarten teacher. I love staying at home with my kids!

Girl I was starving all the time when I was nursing. Seriously couldn't get enough food in me. Cruel world!

Can't wait for those days! You got to eat all that deliciousness and you probably lost a pound instead of gained one... best part of breastfeeding!
