cravings while breastfeeding?

did anyone have cravings while they breastfed?

i crave constant dairy and eggs right now! i want everything with cheese or milk or cream and between me and chloe we are going thru a couple dozen eggs a week!

im not gaining any weight in fact ive lost alot and am still loosing, just wanted to know how normal it was to crave constantly and what it might mean? i figure i need these foods so its not overly a big deal but its kinda odd lol

arn't you lucky losing weight!and eating what you want.i did have very bad cravings while bf and it was for chocolate and i had very low iron count so i really think your body is trying to tell you something everyones so different of course,but with bf if you want it and it's not uppsetting bubs tummy, great, have it for sure.

I'm still trying to get my appetite back.  I'm just sooo bored with food at the moment, even take away.

The foods you are craving are high in calcium and protein, both need increasing while breastfeeding, so if you want them, have them.

Oh, and up you calorie intake too.  I've noticed that mine is way too low and I feel light headed a lot.  Still trying to work out how to up mine without resorting to cakes all the time.

Yep! Unfortunately i crave chocolate and monte carlo biscuits.  I had no cravings while pregnant so i guess i'm making up for it now.  Also before bub was born i NEVER ate breakfast but now i have to everyday because i'm starving first thing in the morning.
