No Appetite/Food Aversions Postpartum
I’m currently 1.5 weeks postpartum and am struggling SO much with food. I barely ever feel hungry, nothing sounds or tastes good, and some foods are even making me queasy. I struggled with food my whole pregnancy and was really hoping/expecting to get better after having the baby. I’ve been forcing food down since I’m (mostly) breastfeeding and am trying to keep my supply up and healthy for little man. But food is honestly making me miserable. Hoping for any tips on improving the situation?

Right there with you! I don’t know what to do, currently breastfeeding and pumping to build a stash but it’s so hard to eat especially protein
Im thinking of taking some Zofran would help at all, just not sure if it’s safe while bf
I dealt with the same after having my first baby.. try high protein drinks such as Ensure to help get some extra calories when food seems unbearable
I do my best to get down what I can and I make sure I have a protein shake during one of my night feeds for the extra calories/protein. But man is it difficult.
I’m 2 weeks PP and dealing with the same!
