Q: Hello. I’m a nursing mother. I have no appetite. What can I take to boost my appetite? Is appetite pills good for me to take them?
A: As a nursing mum, you need to keep your strength up and so dealing with loss of appetite is a no-no!
The first thing really, would be to find the cause of the loss of appetite. Some people experience this as a symptom of an underlying disease which can range from thyroid problems, infections to cancers. So, excluding all these is important

Then what to do?

• Eat smaller and more frequent meals/snacks. Some people naturally, ‘freak out’ when they see a huge bowl of food…how much more someone trying to get back into the grove of food

• Limit your fluid intake when you eat and much as it breaks my heart to say so, do not fill up on too…
