OT - nursing moms

[Guest guest]

With so many brains to tap here I thought I'd ask your thoughts on this -

nursing my baby is sucking me dry. I mean nutritionally speaking I feel like

he's eating ME out of house and home. I am hungry all the time, feel run

down...I'm making plenty of milk but it's definately taking a toll on my own

nutrition. I feel diabetic half the time. Any ideas what I should be eating

more of and what a simple source of that would be? I have heard to eat more

eggs but eggs are not very convienient to just stop and cook in the middle of

something I'm doing...then all the kids want eggs with me and I end up cooking

for them and cleaning up their mess more than I get to eat my own food - OK,

that goes for all food here, not just eggs. You know how it goes - mothers end

up eating on the run and living off their kid's leftovers. I take my vitimins

but they aren't helping much.

thanks,
