Hungry and Thirsty

So I’ve been breastfeeding my daughter since she was born. And when I started this experience, I’ve noticed that I eat a lot more and drink a lot of water too.

I know drinking more water is normal but have y’all ever eaten a lot more??

I’m currently 188.4 Ibs and when I was 9 months pregnant I weighed 208 lbs.

My daughter is 13 months. And I never really gained a lot of weight or lost it (I eat more than I usually would since I breastfed.)

Just wondering if anyone actually eats a lot more while breastfeeding???
