I'm STARVING!
I guess I'd forgotten how absolutely insatiably hungry I was in the first
few weeks of Laszlo's life on the boob. I cannot stop eating for 2 seconds. It's probably worse because we're in the house all day (for the most part) as well as the fact that my mother and husband keep getting me food. I had only gained 4 1/2 pounds my whole pregnancy and I'm sure I'll gain a ton of weight in no time if I keep this up! I'm eating healthy mostly, but fitting some sweets in here and there. When I was pregnant I had to choke down protein, now it's all I want to eat. Amazing how things change so quickly. Hopefully this starving phase will end soon! I'm going to put us in the poor house if I keep eating like this! - Jen |

I just keep thinking about how expensive formula would have been :-) FWIW I'm not gaining weight, though I keep thinking I *must* be. In fact today I found I can easily get into a pair of trousers that didn't fit last time I tried - that's the tummy muscles starting to come back, rather than weight change. I'd quite like to lose a little (not pregnancy weight, that's all gone, but I was a few kg over my ideal before pregnancy) but that's not going to happen the way I'm eating! My vote is to settle in for the long haul and try to enjoy it. Sidheag DS Colin Oct 27 2003 |

My vote is to settle in for the long haul and try to enjoy it. Sounds familiar. I manage breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch, late lunch, afternoon snack, early evening snack, dinner, late evening snack... Despite all that I have got back to my pre-pregnancy weight (sorry) but still can't do up many of my pre-preg clothes! -- Linz YB: 5 months, 17lbs |

same here! ds is 10 months, my weight stayed static to 9 months, then
dropped a little, I suspect by the way my clothes are fitting I am slightly under my pre pregnancy weight, I'm going to enjoy it! |

I'm still eating like a horse, and my son is 17 months old. -- Sara, accompanied by the baby barnacle |

EXCEPT that now I am gradually weaning Matthew my weight is going up again! I am still just as hungry as before but obviously he's not feeding as much (now down to twice during the day plus last thing at night / multiple times through the night / first thing in the morning) so all those extra calories just pile up!

It was at 6-7 months when my hips finally shrunk back down to normal (and quit aching all night) after pg #1 and I was able to get into my old clothes. The weight was gone by 5 months IIRC (55lbs!!). I then lost another 10 lbs by 12mos. Since I didn't loose all the weight after #2 I don't know if my hips went back to normal or not :-P. -- Nikki Mama to Hunter (4) and Luke (2) |

Matthew my weight is going up again! I am still just as hungry as before but obviously he's not feeding as much (now down to twice during the day plus last thing at night / multiple times through the night / first thing in the morning) so all those extra calories just pile up! Sigh. :-/ we're on a very similar schedule, with no concious decision on my part, ds also happily skips his last thing at night feed if I'm not available, with no detremental effect on his waking time, currently usually between 3 and 4 am, just this week we've stopped sending bottles to the childminder for the mornings, so no more pumping at work for me! Vicky, hows the sleep going? |

Seems like he's teething AGAIN too which probably has something to do with it. The most annoying thing is that these occasional good nights tantalise us (and prove that he CAN do it), making it all the harder when he settles back to his old pattern!
