Breastfeeding snacks and drinks

[teampc]

So ladies what drinks and snacks do you set yourselves up with when settling into a feed?

I need some inspiration to move me away from the chocolate bars lol

Flap jacks are pretty good - the oats help with milk supply

Sorry, can't help, I just ate biccies!! Good for you trying to be good!!

Ohh i haven't had flap jack in years, yum I think I'll have to give that suggestion a go

I have found a ew love for tea and biscuits ( always liked it but used to go weeks without a biscuit.....now I have them every day lol)

I can't offer much inspiration I'm afraid, I'm a pick n mix gal lol Candy King is my weakness.

I thought I'd have a day off recently and we went to blockbuster and noooooooo there was a candy king so had to get some lol

I do try and have a bag of grapes though and apple/banana and a tub of pineapple from M&S.

So I do get fruit, but I just have a weakness for the sweets I'm afraid!

[teampc]

Well so far your nt doing very well to get me on the healthy track lol
Mmmm I love grapes, think I'll get sow next time I'm out

Oh pick and mix is yummy.....but they don't always ave the ones I like.....bubblegum bottles and foam strawberries mmmmmmmmm

 

[Maria1977]

I love the green cables and the foam/jelly long snake things the best!! mmmmmmm

I'm a cuppa tea girl but as BF, I wanted to drink enougth, and I like cold water , not tap water so I brought a 6 pack of water bottles from the supermarket and then wash up and refill with water each evening and pop into the fridge. Then I can grab one and go sit down, (esp in the early days that your in, when it's one constant feed all day, no time to wait for a kettle to boil) an grab from fridge with one arm!

snack wise - I went OTT on chocolate, never was a chocky freek, more a sweets girl , thought it was the breastfeeding making me crave it, to up fats etc, now I realise it was the caffine, as I had stuck to caffine free tea after pregnancy, (caffine makes me a bit phsyco if I don't get another cuppa on time.... (ADICT!) So now I've had to give up chocolate!! Ooops , no snacking for me...

I suppose if you said you would grab water and an apple every feed, you really would have more than 5 a day!
