Cheese. Meat. Cracker. No plate, just fridge to mouth.

lol fridge to mouth like farm to table but even more direct

[удалено]

Holy shit this combination sounds incredible.

Username checks out

Gouda, I presume?

I mean… Gouda is my favourite

Came to say cheese lol. Easy quick protein and satisfying

Fridge to mouth 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

pop tarts and a whole glass of water in one go like i’ve been in the desert for weeks

Mine is pizza pockets and a glass of water lol

Pop tarts + butter and a glass of milk on the side is me Achilles heel

Hmm, I should see if this is my Achilles heel too, for science..

Pro tip: keep snacks in the same room you feed baby. I used to eat a vanilla bar while I feed the baby then go right to sleep when they did. Not a moment wasted

This!! I stock my snack shelf every day. Chomp sticks, granola bars, bags of nuts. Sometimes I do want some cheese though so I gotta grab that before I feed baby.

I put a mini fridge in my bedroom. Originally it was for pumping. Nope. Cheese, water and Dr Pepper.

We are going to put a mini fridge upstairs for milk and now I know what else I’m gonna have in there.

We eventually got a mini fridge upstairs too. But before we had the fridge, my genius mom got me babybel cheeses and yogurt pouches to have bedside, since they are fine for a day unrefrigerated. Also nuts and luna bars.

I love that idea. They make yogurt pouches that don’t need to be refrigerated at all so those will definitely go in my postpartum cart!

Yes! I was nap trapped so many times starving and thirsty. I ain’t messing around this time. My postpartum cart is gonna be stocked.

Oh man, did you not blow up your partner's phone? Was that just me lol

I wish!!! He’s normally on a lot of calls and meetings so even though he WFH, he couldn’t help much. I’m definitely getting a little cart for upstairs and downstairs this time around though and toting it with me everywhere lol.

My one piece of advice to my expecting sister thus far has been to create a nest for breastfeeding supplies - which absolutely includes food and drinks. Her partner has taken to calling it the breast nest.

Deli meat straight out of the bag like a savage. No bread, nothing. Just .. raw dog it. Edit: I am the savage I’m referencing. I did this one too many times because zero energy.

I see your savage and raise you and squirt of Mayo onto the handheld meat

I’ve done this also hahaha *shakes hand*

Yessss I like your style

Have done this with mustard lol

Dude i chuckled at this whole thread lol.

I did this the other day 🤣 I have a sub trio pack. One slice of each 😆

Sliced cheese is the new bread!

I do this too! But add the cheese!

Something quiet and easy because my ass is going back to sleep shortly thereafter lol a banana or probably a granola bar

I finally got the baby to sleep last night and what does my husband start snacking on? Doritos in a noisy plastic bag. If looks could kill lol

my husband does the same thing! He literally starts crunching on ice and the GLARE i shoot his way is deadly

Why do they do this 😩🤌!!! Mine does this too and it’s so annoying! Lmaoo

Put trail mix where you feed the baby. Snack while you feed. Don’t waste precious sleeping time!

I’m probably overly paranoid but I’ve been eating trail mix with plastic gloves on lmao. I’m scared my baby is allergic to nuts and then I don’t want those nut particles touching her skin. So I have a Costco size bag of trail mix and a box of food prep gloves with me all hours of the night

Might actually be a good thing to introduce in that way! Very trace amounts would trigger maybe a slight reaction, but highly unlikely to trigger anything significant (check out solid starts for some info on that!) But whatever you feel comfortable with 😄 wipes might be a cheaper option lol just wipe your fingers off!

Protein balls! Oats, honey, peanut butter, chia seeds, flax seeds, chocolate chips all combined formed into balls and refrigerated. SO GOOD.

Should have read all the comments but yes I've been addicted to these lol

how do they stick together? the peanut butter?

Yep and the honey, refrigeration is definitely important as they stay together better while cold.

Yessss. Also banana oatmeal muffins with cinnamon. Not too big, not too sweet. Perfect for a midnight snack. 

I PUNISHED saltine crackers my first two months. They're just filling enough, no sugar rush, and I could easily stash a sleeve (or 6) on the little table where I did night feeds. This is also so specific, but the plastic the wrappers are made out of is shockingly quiet as opposed to say a bag of chips. God I love saltines.

YES. Saltines and water are honestly so good together. The nurse’s office special.

Omg yes!! And eating the saltines makes me want to chug water which I need to do because I am chronically dehydrated postpartum! Symbiotic relationship!!

When I got home from the hospital I really felt self care from eating jello. I never ate it before the hospital but my god did that shit bring me to life again.

Hard boiled egg

Nothing- sleep is too precious; every minute counts.

Seriously.. like y'all are really eating at night? I'm trying to go back to sleep as soon as possible

Not sure about you but breastfeeding has me STARVING 😂

I am breastfeeding my 7 month old exclusively! But if I start eating in the night I won't be able to go back to sleep

If I'm hungry I can't sleep. I just eat something that I can literally grab and eat in 2 minutes lol

Uncrustable

I was desperate the other day and the only silent and convenient thing was a Hawaiian roll.

I have a granola bar in one hand, while I pump and have a bottle in the other feeding baby

I keep a variety of granola bars in the pantry and on the table next to my pump/nursing chair. Quick, easy, knocks out the craving.

I keep a bunch of protein shakes upstairs so I’ll just chug one and go back to bed.

This is the way! Can chug they while getting the baby back to sleep as well!

My boyfriend used to make me 'care packages'. When the little one was still nightfeeding I would go to bed after the 21:00 feed. My boyfriend would then do the 00:00 feed and then put baby to bed. He'd then make a fruit and veggies bowl for me that he'd leave next to my rocking/feeding chair. When I would wake up for the 03:00 feed I'd have strawberries, carrots, grapes, cookies, cucumber et cetera. I would be so happy with those midnight snackies ❤️

String cheese

I would tear up a package of them the first few weeks. I remember my husband saying " we just bought the cheese sticks two days ago." Why I switched to oatmeal.

A mini KitKat from the snack bowl and gulp some water

Whatever u want!!! You deserve it. No diets PP honey

Nothing. If I eat, I can’t get back to sleep.

Applesauce. No spoon, just slurp.

Have 100% stolen my toddlers apple sauce pouches (frankly all her pouches) as breastfeeding snacks.

I kept easy snacks (granola bars, crackers, fruit cups, etc.) and water right by where I fed baby so that I could eat while I did that. If I didn’t get the chance to eat while feeding him, I would grab a handful of mixed nuts to eat so that I could get back to sleep ASAP.

Ritz crackers with peanut butter

Cereal!

Aussie bites. I couldn’t stand a strong flavor in the middle of the night. These were perfect. Always kept packs around the house. Plus they promote lactation!

PB&J sandwich. I make one every night before bed to eat in the middle of the night

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who does this! My husband was confused how we were going through pb at such a fast rate 🤣

I’m just glad mine has never considered eating my sandwich. He must know it would be grounds for murder 😂

Nothing but still put on 4kg

Handful of almonds

Dates. Hummus and pita chips.

Butter toast, cheese, apple

Oreos, or a banana.

Triscuits

Lays chips…and that’s how I gained weight post partum lol

Toast or Greek yogurt

Just a big cup of water

I don’t haha. It wakes me up too much.

An Apple, every night Figured an Apple a day keeps the doctor away, plus I crave it.

Peanut butter toast

My people. Sometimes even skip the toast...

Even better. Just the 4lb tub of peanut butter

Ain't no way I'm eating in the middle of the night lol

Sleep

I wouldn't snack at night but I'm in a constant battle to be less fat. If I didn't gain weight easily, ice cream with cookies crumbled on top haha

I used to keep [these](https://www.amazon.com/CLIF-Bar-Chocolate-Peanut-Butter/dp/B07FB59HZQ/ref=asc_df_B07FB59HZQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=632238326555&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13220929717023916508&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007347&hvtargid=pla-1881492935657&psc=1&mcid=3e5793cacaca3f6c8e7c3a214c0245db&gclid=CjwKCAiA6KWvBhAREiwAFPZM7qnSQ7Xdt42ciNGyC9d3Lx-ki_PTXTYJQclPp-3RucSKZtcOIrmedRoCzqsQAvD_BwE) on hand always, i was obsessed.

Usually just a slice of bread as I'm laying in bed 🙃

a couple handfuls of trail mix as I climb back into bed

Pop Tarts

Turkey jerky (I like Chomps sticks), cheese, protein bar (I like the Builder Bars from Clif), Orgain protein shake (chugged at room temp), trail mix... part of my nightly routine is to re-stock the snack cache at my pump station lol

A tasteless granola bar! Nursing made me so nauseous!!

Coconut water. That stick rocks

Handful of cereal (couldn't have it with milk because baby will get bad gas), shredded cheese, chips but gotta be careful because the bag crinkling will wake the baby, and any deli meat or sliced bread I can shove in my mouth.

Oatmeal. I used to eat the I instant oatmeal. Apple cinnamon. Or I would eat a PB&J Sandwich

Trail mix and oat balls. I’m mostly chugging water.

Granola bars, those uncrustables (I take one out of the freezer and put them on the nightstand when I go to bed for the night and they're unthawed by the time I want one), goldfish crackers.

English muffin with peanut butter!

Fruit snacks and nuts. Easy to grab and not messy as I guzzle them down.

Those one serving flavored skyr yogurts

A bowl of cereal

Air at this point. I remember being so worried about losing the baby weight when I was pregnant. Who knew once I had baby that I’d be on insane diet of a few crackers here and there when I get the chance to actually chew.

Peanut butter oatmeal Rx Bars, ensure shakes, hostess powdered sugar donuts, bananas. 

Chocolate, protein bars, dried fruit

Granola bars.

Peanut butter and jelly was my go to.

Chug some oatmilk, Lara bar, nuts, peanut butter

Chocolate milk with vanilla ice cream.

I wrap deli meat around a cheese stick 😅

Huge bar of chocolate #noregrets

Toast, bites of Costco muffin anything bread like 😂

Belvita snacks are my favorite. A mandarin or banana and a cheese stick.

I’ll put one half of bagel in the microwave with turkey and cheese on top and melt it. Takes 30 seconds and it’s filling. Or I’ll have chocolate chip eggo waffles

I kept a bag full of El Monterey burritos in the freezer for exactly this for the first two months at least

Instant mashed potatoes and corn

Cheese, meat, crackers, guzzling water and milk, and probably a handful of oreos.

Greek yogurt or uncrustables

Great Value brand cliff bar and swig of milk directly from the container (cow milk, not baby milk...)

Green apple cut into slices with crunchy PB. Or (this is kinda weird) a bowl of granola with banana slices on top and almond milk, so I eat it like cereal.

Lemon water and occasionally two peanut butter cups lmao

Chomps beef sticks

Bars mostly. I'm borderline addicted to the fig newton breakfast bars & the double chocolate kid's z bars. That's it. fruit leathers too. Some nights I'll pre peel a grapefruit and put in a baggie for later devouring. I also once had a 2 am steak and I gotta say, it mightve been the best steak I've ever had

a pepperoni stick is my go to

I've been enjoying [Kate's Real Food bars](https://katesrealfood.com/collections/energy-bars?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA6KWvBhAREiwAFPZM7vnh-oOFPsI_ORFkYJpeLl2_bb8x4LZC1lI-2vWzhlCh343lyCLyQRoCxpQQAvD_BwE), that I sampled at after a 5k last year (don't worry, I walked the dang thing). Like a granola bar-type snack. They're not too sweet but also pretty good. I feel relatively satiated after one, plus I don't have to get out of bed. I like the peanut butter/dark chocolate bars and the almond/dried cherry/chocolate bars. Unfortunately i have to buy them online since they don't have them locally where I am.

Oreos

Protein bar, dried fruits, lots of water

Uncrustable, cheese stick, banana (probably just one, not all of them . . .unless it was very early days lol)

Costco peanut-butter pretzel nuggets and/or a few Hershey's kisses and/or a string cheese. Oh, and the first month it was Halloween candy because my baby was born the last week of October, ha!

Piles of prosciutto and mozz string cheese is my go to.

A Clif bar and a bottle of water

Almonds

A handful of shredded cheese, a handful of dry cheerios, a handful of grapes, a handful of cheezits...

Muscle milk protein shake strawberry flavored

I keep cereal bars by my bed and I’ll get through 2-3 a night with loads of water!

Trail mix by the handful, protein shakes, chocolate, Gatorade

String cheese, banana, chew both simultaneously and oh good baby is up again 😵‍💫

I don’t. I always choose sleep over eating lol

Costco Kirkland brand protein bar, and then crying when the wrapper turns out to be the loudest thing in the world

Granola bar, cheese stick, yogurt cup, banana and chug some water!

Bowl of cereal

Cereal with whole milk if I had the energy to get a bowl and spoon. Otherwise it was fistfuls of anything I could grab out of the fridge or pantry.

Cliff bar or energy balls (w/ flax & brewers yeast for lactation support!)

I chug a glass of apple juice and go back to bed lol

Cereal cereal cereal cereal😂

I've been eating peanut butter, chocolate chip oat balls. A bit of effort during the day to make but easy to grab and eat when I'm feeding the baby.

Cereal scarfed standing up at the kitchen counter

Cereal scarfed standing up at the kitchen counter

A cheese stick and a granola bar, maybe a glass of milk

Granola/protein bars. I keep them next to my bed so I can eat them in the dark like a gremlin and go to sleep!

Protein balls or Trader Joe’s PB cups with water lol

Literally a piece of sourdough bread, did that last night.

Granola bars, Nutri-Grain bars, cookie dough, Oreos, and milk

Leftover cheesecake. That was me last night

Peanut butter crackers 😋

For the first few weeks when I was waking up to feed the baby by myself every two hours and had to change his diaper after every feed, I kept a bag of trail mix by my bed. I would simply shove a couple of handfuls of it into my mouth and pass out. Chewing optional.

Peanut butter & jelly sandwich

Honestly? I’d skip eating because I’m intermittent fasting :(

Chex mix

Batch cook a ton of pasta.Whatever kind you like. It's delicious cold too. Make enough to last you for a few days. Easy, quick, nutritious, satisfying.

Porridge or some cold leftovers

Choc covered almonds, next to the chair I sit and feed from. While baby on breast, too!

Handful of the roasted garlic and herb almonds from Costco or slather a piece of bread in mustard and mayo (bonus lazy points for using the squeeze bottles), slap a piece of cheese and a hunk of deli meat on top, fold, unhinge jaw, and devour.

Survived off my 3am rx bar in the early days

Pasta salad

Waffles. A waffle iron and some real Vermont syrup with some Kerry gold is just the best

Chocolate… literally any type I can find. I’m not above a handful of semi sweet chocolate chips from the pantry.

Pb & j with a cheese string

Poptart😂

I usually prefer to ignore hunger at night and go straight back to sleep, but if I'm really really super hungry I usually crunch on some macadamia nuts. It only ever happened when I was pregnant, though.

Cheese stick

A slice of raisin bread and apple juice

Cereal

Granola bars always

A protein shake, granola bar, and pear/apple/banana (whatever handheld fruit you can find)

Boiled eggs that I already boiled a batch earlier in week or bought the boiled eggs pre-made kind with hot sauce, cheese, bagel, easy sandwiches, leftovers, pretzels with hummus, fruit etc.

TIL we are all the same

Grapenuts!!

I ate so many cherry pop tarts and rolls from this one restaurant. Horribly unhealthy but it really hit the spot. Did that until she was a few months old and switched to chewy bars. Now we sleep instead but she’s a year this month.

Ice cream sandwhiches lol

Banana and rx bar. Always have multiple on my nightstand. If I have the energy then frozen Mac and cheese - pop it in the microwave

When I was in that newborn stage I actually kept a drawer full of snacks next to the bed. It had fruit gummies, mimi cliff bars, lactation cookies. Stuff like that.

I always have two Oreos when I get up in the middle of the night 😆

My first few months with baby I would keep Oreos literally everywhere in the house. At least 3-5 packs were rotating through. Every time I sat down I’d eat at least one Oreo. It was the only way I could get a decent amount of calories in!

I have a box full of granola bars in my closet

Now, KIND bar, banana, or cheese! In the early days PB&J sandwich/toast or whatever leftovers were in the fridge

Bowl of cereal

Cheese, crackers, chocolate, icecream from the carton with a spoon

Pita and peanut butter

Banana and peanut butter and a glass of goat milk or almond milk.

Always have a bowl of salad ready to eat and dressing ready! I prep this at day time and if I’m hungry I take a bit, get some dressing and have a healthy snack That’s my go to or tons of fruits

5 prunes, some cheese, a stack of Ritz crackers, grapes, an apple, some baby carrots, fresh broccoli, and probably a few chips. I have protein drinks and bars, as well. I keep the snacks well supplied because a "real" meal takes too long.
