Healthy middle-of-the-night breastfeeding snacks

[thereistheball]

I'm breastfeeding twins and often find myself needing to eat something in the middle of the night. I don't want anything sugary because of teeth (I usually want to collapse straight back into bed without brushing my teeth), or too much bread if I can help it. So far I'm getting by on natural yoghurt. Any other ideas? Thanks!

I don't think it's what you're after as sugary, but I used to eat bananas...

How about
Oatcakes
Breadsticks with hummus
Pre cut sticks of cheese

Bananas are good as they give you a burst of energy as well as slower,releasing carbohydrate?

Another vote for banana, with a glass of milk to wash it down (if you CBA to blend it in like a basic smoothie).

I used to eat bananas, hm flapjack (with lots of seeds & dried fruit in), dried apricots and chocolate raisins. So tons of sugar And just went back to sleep after, no tooth brushing.

What about nuts? Lots of energy and protein.

If you're worried about your teeth cheese would be good. How about those Babybel cheddars? How is it all going btw? You should drop in on the November post-natal thread.

Agree with others, bananas, milk and nuts are all good.

Thanks - good ideas. I bought a huge bag of cashew nuts this morning and am looking forward to opening them tonight.

This has been flitting round my head for the last day or so, and some other ideas (if you can stomach them in the middle of the night!) might be ryevita/ryebreads/rice cakes with cream cheese/hummus/marmite etc, veg sticks and hummus, or even a thermos of veg/lentil soup so you have something substantial and hot? Croissants? Bagels?

spiltthetea - I live in France so croissants are ubiquitous, but bagels? I dream of them.
