I am 8 weeks into ebf and am very sleep deprived and constantly hungry so am eating lots, and a lot of sweet naughty things. Does anyone have any suggestions for quick and easy snacks I can grab or make a batch of that aren’t that bad for you? Thanks!

Oh bless you - just eat cake. You’re using 500 calories a day at present!

Well I ate Halva like it was going out of fashion and that’s definitely not the healthy option. One thing that did help though was upping my protein.

You don't need to 'make a batch' of anything! just eat whatever you want, you are using so many calories. I was eating packets of chocolate biscuits in the night at that stage.
