Hi. I am a breastfeeding mom, my little one is 1 year old now. Every time I eat, sometime after a meal I feel like I haven't eaten anything. Feeling so hungry all the time. I use to nurse 3 times a day to my little one. Also when I sleep at night usually at midnight my legs and feet are like there is no energy, That feeling increases in midnight so strong that I'm not able to sleep properly. During daytime l, All the time I'm feeling low energy, sweet eating craving, very lethargic. Please suggest do I need to do any test.

HI! First of all, congratulations on breastfeeding your baby well into the second year, I am proud of you! Next, please get your bloodwork done to find out the reason of your tiredness and hunger. You might need to check blood sugar, haemoglobin and thyroid levels. I would suggest you visit a medical specialist and get your bloodwork done.

Get your blood sugar levels, serum calcium and vitd3 levels done. After every feed to your child you should eat something, Your child is 1 year old ,his nutritional requirements have increased. You should gradually stop feeding him. Start taking iron ,calcium supplementation.
