I believe it is normal to be hungry and thirsty when BFing. Most women lose a good chunk weight when they stop breastfeeding, rather than when they're actually doing it :)

I thought you were supposed to loose weight while feeding??

Im 3 stone over weight and Im finding it really tough

I found BF difficult and DD was at the breast almost 24/7 so I lost weight, as I didn't eat, and was so tired I'd forget to eat.
I did get very thirsty though.
