Weird?
My baby is five weeks old. I was able to exclusively pump for just about 4 weeks. During those four weeks I wasn’t hungry, forcing myself to eat, and dropped a ton of weight. Something pretty stressful and traumatic happened in my life and I literally stopped producing within a day. Completely dried up within two days. Anyway, Baby has now been on formula for almost two weeks.. and I’m starving? I’m legit starving. I want to eat everything in sight. Did this happen to anyone else or am I just backwards. lol

I just stopped breastfeeding last Friday - I have been sooo hungry! I think it must be the hormone change, literally feel like I'm dying of starvation every 2 hours.
So much anxiety as well out of nowhere for me! I wasnt expecting this
Same here, feel super hungry since i stopped breastfeeding a few weeks ago while when i was breasrfeeding i kept forcing myself to eat cuz i was never hungry. Funny how the body works sometimes hey!
It’s due to stress. High levels of stress can kill supply but also increase appetite. Breastfeeding hunger also usually takes time to appear or it doesn’t appear for everyone depending on their situation
