Yoghurt, smoothies (especially at 8pm when the cluster-feeding starts to hit ya), nutty muesli bars, cheese and pineapple, cut veges with dip. For the last two, have them available in the fridge all the time so when you reach for a snack, it's right there.

Beware that lots of sugar/biscuits etc will just make you feel worse 10 minutes later. But double choc muffins still hit the spot like nothing else, at times!! ]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 22:05:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325971&title=breastfeeding#325971 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325786&title=breastfeeding#325786 Author: miss

Yoghurt, hummus etc. have you thought about having your iron levels checked? Especially if they were low in pregnancy.]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:49:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325786&title=breastfeeding#325786 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325743&title=breastfeeding#325743 Author: peachy

I agree with the walking and getting some fresh air too. Even if I am exhausted I still go for a walk every afternoon and I surprisingly feel so refreshed afterwards!]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:47:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325743&title=breastfeeding#325743 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325730&title=breastfeeding#325730 Author: myfullhouse

I took the Blackmores Pregnancy and Breastfeeding vitamins. Check with your chemist as something like this may help.

Although it doesn't sound like it would help, I found going for a walk and getting some fresh air very helpful in making me feel better. Jack was born at the end of April so due to the weather we spent a lot of time inside. I always felt energised after a short walk, even 5-10 mins. Or even if you just spent time outside - although you may already do this!]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:27:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325730&title=breastfeeding#325730 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325716&title=breastfeeding#325716 Author: Bobbie

I second the complan with banana.

Also scroggin, bran muffins - hmm actually I just eat like a horse!

I had terrible lethargy a few weeks back but I think it was iron levels as I started taking multivitamins and it's got better now.

Also never underestimate the power of a 'nana nap' ]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:06:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325716&title=breastfeeding#325716 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325688&title=breastfeeding#325688 Author: arohanui

I mostly have things like nuts, eggs (scrambled, fried, boiled), cold milos, dried fruit (we get these little packets that are chopped up dried apricot and apple or pear), yohgurt, bananas, peanut butter or marmite and cheese on wholegrain toast, frozen juicies, Vita Quench...

Try Complan, its yummy blended with a banana and some milk!

Helps to maintain a good supply too!]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:35:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325685&title=breastfeeding#325685 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325676&title=breastfeeding#325676 Author: sparkle

What don't I eat!!!!

Seriously though, I snack on nuts. Brazil ones or Almond are my favourites. I probably eat way too many though!

But then again, I have no enery either. Probably more to do with my nearly 7 month old son waking every 2 hours at night ]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:30:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325676&title=breastfeeding#325676 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15309&PID=325654&title=breastfeeding#325654 Author: _Deb_
