Eating after baby

Hi

I was thinking about things for when after Bug is born and I will be trying to breastfeed like I did with my others, but it got me thinking.

How long after you had your baby did you go back to pre-pregnancy eating habbits?

I know with breastfeeding we still need the higher cals etc....but did you go like half/half, follow how you ate before but just more food, eat like before only up your carbs, ate like you were still pregnant and not worry a sort of free for all. If you did go back to eating like before was it hard or like riding a bike. I can't wait for Bug to be born and dump off the ice-cream and soft drink that helps me up my cals. This isn't about weight gain and worried about it coming off as I have only just hit 6.8lbs at 30weeks & 4days.

Best wishes

I think it is all different with everyone. With me, I have a huge issue taking in enough calories. I tried going back to the pre pregnancy eating but I got very sick including 2 days of severe vertigo! I thought there was something majorly wrong with me. So I called my surgeons office and they informed me that I need more calories and to get them where I can. So needless to say, I still need the carbs too!
