Hello wise MN-ers,
How do you keep your energy levels up while excl BF?
I'm exclusively BF my 3month old DD and love it. She's 50th percentile for wt now but birthweight low-ish (6.5). I got fed up of people saying "Oh how tiny she is". So I overcompensate by feeding her whenever she wants/every 2 hrs. But I feel tired and run-down all day with dizzy spells. Doesn't help that I'm sleep-deprived (my fault since I feed her at 3am and 6am even though she doesn't cry for it but guzzles happily enough). It got so bad I had blood tests which the GP says were normal for blood count, thyroid etc.
So should I just eat more? Though I don't feel hungry.
