Question

Answer

You sure it’s the weight issue and not iron or folic acid deficiency. I felt the exactly the same way hun and I ended up having to be on iron tablets for a few months. (Iron takes months to build make up in your body) so if you struggled with it through your pregnancy you most likely will after having baby to. I’m now back up with my iron but started to feel tired again and then found out my folic acid was low. So now on folic acid tablets. 🙄 I’m 10months pp.. I have a calcium deficiency so I get checked regularly will blood tests. I always know when something wrong as I’m always extra tired.. I would go see your doctor and ask for a blood test especially as your feeling really tired..

Answer

Healthy fats like nuts and avocado. Increase your calorie intake.

Answer

I’m the same way right now... no appetite at all and nursing all day. I want to lose weight though lol 
BUT it’s important to eat to maintain your milk supply!! I bought myself some protein powder to make protein shakes to supplement the meals I was skipping. I figure it’s better than not eating at all!
