Feeding yourself

Your husband should be making sure you eat, even if it means he has to cook dinners or take the baby for a while, that's unfair to you

I’m struggling to eat , I try to get health ish snacks I can have in the go c

Yep! I'm often lucky if I've managed to have lunch by 4:30pm. Breakfast I only manage because it's often a banana and I eat it one handed on the go. Lunch often ends up being hummus on toast, mid afternoon eaten on floor whilst playing with LO 🤷‍♀️

Oh also, I don't eat much most days either 😂

I don’t think I’d actually eat if my husband didn’t make it. If he’s going to the office he’ll make me a lunch and leave it in the fridge so I can just grab it. Otherwise sometimes if I’m hungry enough, baby wear and make something

I hear this! You can’t rely on your husband if he is busy so would make easy simple things like make sure you have breakfast even if it’s cereal, lunch a sandwich you make the night before possibly? My food is usually always cold by the time I eat it. I have the buggy set up in the kitchen ready for when we go on walks and started getting some meals in me by popping little one in it so I could make something. Maybe this will help? Looking at doing some smoothies to get my veggies in atm as I am getting quite drained and am a bit run down. Yes it’s nice for someone to make sure you are eating etc but doesn’t always work out like that. I even did one big big meal so I was covered for a few hours as that was the only time I got at one point. Hope that helps!

I also meal prep and cook in bulk as hubby trains. I don’t really like the same food so was in the same boat as you. Xx

I kept certain healthy bars and snacks with me at the bed for breakfasts if we haven’t had a great night xx

Make life easy for you however you can! Early on I had a water bottle upstairs and downstairs so wherever I was I had it. I found it hard holding the bottle and little one if she was asleep etc

Cut up fruit and veg and have it in a pot ready to eat when your feeding or with little one. I bought asda ready made salad pots at one point too that helped me get back on track with eating as it was ready xx

I’m exactly the same!! I lost my appetite ever since I gave birth and some days hardly eat anything. It’s been scaring me lately so I’ve been trying to make sure I eat at least 3 meals but it’s so hard! X
