Pumping mum life is a rollercoaster! Super full before, and then ravenous after! 🍔🌭🌮🌯🥙🥗🥪 Read me: The Science Behind the Hunger! 🍼🤓 Ever wonder why pumping mums feel so hungry after a session? Here’s why: Pumping stimulates the production of prolactin, a hormone that promotes milk production but also increases your appetite. Plus, your body burns extra calories to produce milk—about 20 calories per ounce! This means you’re using a lot of energy, making you feel hungry right after. It’s nature’s way of making sure you replenish those calories and stay nourished for you and your baby! Considering a typical pumping session might yield anywhere from 3 to 8 ounces, that’s a significant calorie burn, making you feel hungry afterward. #pumpingmum #breastmilk #milksupply #expressingmum #sgmums #Singaporemums #liquidgold #breastfeeding #mumtiktok
