My 6 month old who is still exclusively nursing was up almost every hour last night nursing, he usually wakes up maybe once a night. I'm Starving today, has anyone else noticed that they are hungrier who baby eats more then usual? Just wondering if it's real or if I'm just wanting to pig out today.

    Yeah, my little guy is 10.5 months old and eats pretty regular amounts (overnight wake-ups are rare), but after days when he ate a ton or woke up a lot during the night, I'd need to eat all the food. I'd also be mega-thirsty.
