So how am I surviving this period. This is what is working for me: ⁃ Minimum 3 meals and 3 snacks/days and not going longer than 3 hours between meals ⁃ Breakfast every day (ideally as soon as possible after I’m awake for the day…often before 6am!) ⁃ Larger meals if I’ve done exercise (e.g., long walk) ⁃ Choosing the full fat, high calorie options e.g., Greek yoghurt and butter ⁃ No cutting the carbs! They are the body and brain’s preferred source of quick fuel ⁃ Eating in the night if needed. You can’t beat peanut butter on toast at 2am, 4am. If I have another baby, I’ll be setting up a Tea Maid like my Nana had in my bedroom with a big biscuit tin! ⁃ Having ready meals, very simple meals when cluster feeding episodes happen at dinner time. ⁃ Ensuring I’m hydrated. Carrying a bottle of water with me and having one by the bed. ⁃ Snacks, snacks, and more snacks! I’m enjoying -South African rusks (they are a bit more substantial than an English Rich tea), Granola bars/flapjacks, nuts and nut butters with apples/carrots/oat cakes, pastries, and cake. ⁃ I also took a multivitamin (including vitamin D) and iron supplement for many weeks to make sure I was meeting all my body’s micronutrient needs
