Are you hungry after pumping?

Question

I feel like I’m gaining weight every day😫 as after each pumping I’m so hungry! And my crave is bread with butter 🍞 and milk 🥛

Answer

I'm always starving after I pump!!! I've gotten to where I keep some granola bars, cashews, or peanut butter crackers to snack on during my pump sessions :)

Answer

I’ve changed it, I’ve stoped my hungriness!!!  What I did, I just changed my pumping schedule so I’m pumping now every 4-5 hours not as before every 3 and I’m not that hungry anymore! Moreover I don’t snack at nights anymore! Finally stoped gaining weight, now I have to loose it 😃

Answer

Yea and I'm not losing weight 😒

Answer

Start with a cup of water first then a SMALL snack.  Water helps rehydrate (which helps your milk supply), and it has helped me eat LESS.  My husband is always picking on me for constantly snacking and I have to explain that it is a result of producing breastmilk.

Answer

I tend to crave carbs after pumping but think it’s also from going too long without eating. Carbs are always the easiest and quickest to eat too  Toast with peanut butter, cereal, eggos lol

Answer

yep. always feels like I haven't eaten in days after I pump even if I snack during 😫 it takes a lot of energy to make milk!
