I gave birth to my first baby 3 weeks ago and since then I don’t really have any appetite?

13 March 2010 4 Responses

A Parent asks, I am expressing milk 3 times a day as my baby won’t breastfeed, and I have no problem producing enough milk to feed her 6 times a day.
Should I be worried about the loss of appetite? Or should I just leave it and it will return to normal?

    its normal i think..you are preoccupied with caring for your new baby, eating is not on the top of your list. however, push yourself to eat because thats where baby will get nutrition from and take prenatal pills if possible! good luck and Yes it will return to normal when your stress level goes down. :)

    if your baby wont breastfeed try pumping your breast milk and putting it in a bottle instead to feed your baby, all the nutrients and no discomfort, and best of all no formula. breast milk can be stored in a refrigerator and can even be frozen for later use. good luck.

    I too had a baby 3 weeks ago and have been feeling the same way. I just make sure I take my prenatal vitamin each and eat a healthy balanced meal when I do get the chance/urge to eat. I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. As long as your baby is gaining weight and your milk supply is sufficient everything should be alright. Congratulations on the new baby.
