Is it normal that I have been eating more after my baby was born than I did when I was pregnant? I am never full!!!! I am never going to lose my weight! Does the appetite go away after a while I hope?

It is normal you are supposed to eat 500 more calories when your breastfeeding then when you were pregnant. Tyr and eat healthy foods, have light snacks through out the whole day. Go for walks if you are brestfeeding it will be off in no time. I gained 45pounds when i was pregnant and have lost it all 3 months later... breastfeeding is not just good for your baby, but it gets you back in your old jeans. Good Luck!
