Asking on behalf of a friend: do breastfeeding mums get food cravings too? Is that normal? Thanks mamas!

I craved for salty and sweet foods. As well as a lot of carbo when I started breastfeeding. Six months into breastfeeding, the cravings are more or less gone. But now the period has come, and I'm back to PMS cravings!

Yeah.. heard some of my bf mum friends craving for sweet stuff, or carbs and chocs... and they eat more frequently too. Should be okay as quite a few of them had the same experience :)

I ate more than during my pregnancy. Most of the time after express out milk, will feel giddy & hungry..thus always have milk, chocolate, sweet stuffs on hand! Hehe..

I don't think I had food cravings while I was breastfeeding. I was just always Hungry! I just wanted food and lots of it. Cakes. actually I did really want cakes.

I also have cravings during breastfeeding as I get hungry easily. I craved for more spicy food like MeeSiam, Asam Laksa ;)

Wow, that's interesting to know, Juliana and Shrutika! Looks like i should be prepared for food cravings after bb is out too.. haha

Hey I also have cravings while breastfeeding. My doc said its mostly due to lack of sleep and stress :)

Oh goodness! So it's normal! I thought I am the one being crazy for having cravings

Heard from most of my friends that crave food that are rich in flavoura

I craved, but i always crave so not sure if its due to bf. Lol
