Adjusting settings for nursing?

Hey all.

I just started last night, and I'm not able to find a way to adjust the settings for breastfeeding. With the caloric need and rate that I am burning calories so different, it's pretty important in order to use the app correctly and successfully.

I already adjusted my calories per day to 1800 (although I've read that this is supposed to be at minimum), but that only makes MFP think I'm only cutting 200 out from a 2,000 per day diet, if that makes sense.

Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust this? :-/

    there's a food item you can log that is breast feeding - it has negative calories so acts as an allowance.
